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 single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"It's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"The most valuable features provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"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."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"It is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"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 had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
