Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"The licensing price could be better."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
