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's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"StealthWatch lets me see the ports running in and out and the country. It has excellent reporting, telemetry, and artificial intelligence features. With the telemetry, I can set thresholds to detect sudden changes and the alarms go through the PLC parts. I can see all the ports running on that trunk."
"It is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"It's an expensive solution."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
