"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"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."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."

"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."

"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
