We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Nagios XI 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."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"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."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"I would like to see better filters."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
