We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Zabbix 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 single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"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."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The product is very stable."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
