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 artifacts available in the tool provide better information for analyzing network traffic. It enables a holistic view of network traffic and general packet analysis. It's easy to identify anomalies without the use of signatures. The way in which we implemented Stealthwatch Cloud has enabled my team to analyze traffic behind proxies."
"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."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"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."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"It does change the way we troubleshoot and it is relatively easy to use once you learn it. I would recommend it to someone considering it."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
