"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"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."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"The product supports different platforms."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."

"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"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."

"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
