We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and IronNet Collective Defense Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Auvik and others in Network Traffic Analysis (NTA)."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."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The artifacts available in the tool provide better information for analyzing network traffic. It enables a holistic view of network traffic and general packet analysis. It's easy to identify anomalies without the use of signatures. The way in which we implemented Stealthwatch Cloud has enabled my team to analyze traffic behind proxies."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"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."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the full reach of services."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"Stealthwatch is still maturing in AI. It uses artificial intelligence for predictions, but AI still needs to mature. It is in a phase where you get 95% correct detection. As its AI engine learns more, it will become more accurate. This is applicable to all the devices that are using AI because they support both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The accuracy in the case of supervised machine learning is dependent on the data you feed into the box. The accuracy in the case of unsupervised machine learning is dependent on the algorithm. The algorithm matures depending on retrospective learning, and this is how it is able to detect zero-day attacks."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"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."
"I would like to see it integrate with third-party systems."
