"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"Provides easily identifiable anomalies that you can't see with signature detections."
"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."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."

"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"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."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
