We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"It hasn't really improved our direct detection rate but it has definitely reduced our incident response time as we wouldn't have been able to detect threats or immediate risks without this solution."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"The implementation needs assistance."
