We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Cisco Secure Network Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"It's very flexible and we can easily deploy it to our network. It's very user-friendly. We can do everything via the web interface and troubleshoot easily from the CLI. It's not complicated."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"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."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"Sometimes it blocks legitimate traffic. If a legitimate user is trying to access the server continuously, the product suspects that this is a DoS traffic file. That is a case where it needs to improve. It needs machine-learning."
"The support got worse after NETSCOUT acquired Arbor."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"For troubleshooting problems, it's not so intuitive. It's not straightforward. This is the core of their kernel, so they need to improve it a little bit... In F5 I have full control of everything."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"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."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
