We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and LogRhythm NetMon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"Provides easily identifiable anomalies that you can't see with signature detections."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"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."
"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."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
