"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"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."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"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."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
