Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the way the net flow is being merged together in a single pane. That's been extremely useful for us, because can see what's going on with traffic in one single place."
"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."
"Another notable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is its Layer 7 visibility, which allows us to monitor and analyze network communications at the application layer."
"Endpoint to network protects the line."
"They manage to solve detection quite nicely. There is some rather elaborate detection compared to other providers."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control."
"The Application Control code and the easy integration are valuable features."
"Real-time threat analysis is quick and takes action on threats immediately."
"Technical support is very responsive. You just have to open a ticket. They respond in a timely manner. Their response is good. I'm satisfied."
"All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us. We especially like the threat protection it provides."
"The great advantage in using this product is it creates multiple services."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"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."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"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 customizability of the UI should improve."
"Not ideal for advanced threat protection."
"The support for new OSs and older OSs could be a little tighter. They need to be more upfront about what protection services they're going to provide on new OSs. I haven't seen the Windows 11 version out yet. It is either already released in Beta, or the Beta will be released soon. There could be a little bit more advanced updates on what they're doing to help protect Windows 11 environments. They can let us know in advance so that we know it is going to be protected. We can't roll out the new OS without putting end-point protection on it. So, they should tell us what is their support model for that, and what are they doing to protect Windows 11. They're not telling me, and that's a criticism. The same issue is applicable to all the other antivirus tools. It is not just Symantec; all of them have this problem."
"The product's support services need improvement."
"The support has dropped down to a five out of ten."
"The security features need to be improved."
"Entire threat protection is not available for the advanced features."
"It also needs network-based threat protection for shared folders and files."
"An improvement could be made on the reporting because then it would be easier to collect information and submit it for compliance."
