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."
"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."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"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."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"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."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"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."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
