"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"It has helped us to understand internal network visibility and firewall policy implementation. We use the product to simplify firewall policy implementation."
