"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"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."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
