We performed a comparison between Aruba IntroSpect and Cisco Secure Network Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I haven't heard of any issues with stability."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring. If there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted."
"Roaming feature, application control and firewall features."
"The solution's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"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."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"The ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard, where you can get the information with a simple click."
"Technical support is a little slow."
"The packet analyzer needs improvement."
"Cisco Stealthwatch can improve by having bundled packages for popular add-ons. It would be a lot easier for people implementing it, have let's say a better way to use the product."
"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."
"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."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
