We switched solutions because we were doing network segmentation and the Cisco program that we were enrolled in required Stealthwatch to be embedded into our core.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

We used Riverbed, and it is probably still around as some people can't let go of their old tools.

When we saw what Lancope can do, not just from a visibility perspective, but from a network and security perspective, we jumped on board. Having security tied to the product is what really made it win out. We jumped in all the way. We spent close to a million, because there was a shared infrastructure between two companies. Every eye pop that we bring up or upgrade, Stealthwatch is there. We ensure it is there.

We didn't have a previous solution. We brought Stealthwatch in to audit issues that we needed to remediate with security issues.

We switched to StealthWatch for the orchestration features. 

We were using SolarWinds and we are still using SolarWinds, so we use both.

We did not have a solution like Stealthwatch. We heard about the product and the value it was able to give to companies regarding threats, and we thought it would be the right solution for us.

We just immediately went with Stealthwatch and did not have a previous solution.

I have not used another similar solution in the past. I think the only thing that would even come close was using Azure Advanced Threat Analytics, but that only really analyzes network traffic coming to the domain. It checks, for example, if there is sketchy network traffic hitting your domain controllers.

In my previous jobs, I used network performance tools, but nothing that was the same as StealthWatch where it combines that performance and security analysis together.

We previously used SolarWinds. The version of SolarWinds that we were using didn't give us the visibility that we needed, so we switched to Stealthwatch.

We used NetFlow before, so Stealthwatch was pretty much the only game in town for getting the level of detail that we were looking for out of the transport network. It was a natural choice.

We did not use another solution prior to this one. It was like the wild wild west. We set this up in our lab because the internal IT couldn't figure out what everybody was doing. They now have insight into who did what, which is important because we have a lot of intellectual property to protect.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

We did not have a different solution in this specific use case. We had some solutions that would cover pieces of it but nothing ever did the whole job.

No previous solution.

We did not use another solution prior to this one, and we choose this solution based on Cisco's recommendation after they reviewed our requirements.

Previously, my customer had a large router and switching network with a lot of perimeter security, but they didn't have any security or visibility on their internal network. That is why they are using Stealthwatch now.

We were archaic in terms of reporting.

There wasn't really a big decision making effort. The product came with the big suite of things that we purchased, so we decided to take advantage of it and deployed it.

We're a Cisco running shop primarily. We purchased DNA Center and Stealthwatch all as part of that package. We're trying to get the whole suite of software packages. Stealthwatch is part of it.

Prior to this solution, we used an ad-hoc, internal system. We knew that it had to be replaced because it was not passing the audit as per our set standards. Ultimately, that drove us to look for a more standardized solution.

We knew we needed to switch because we had a gap in visibility. We picked this solution because we're a Cisco shop.

We switched and chose this solution because of the reseller's recommendation. 

We switched to Cisco Stealthwatch for operational reasons. The solution we used before was very clunky, so it was clear that we needed a better solution. So we started looking around and this solution came to the top quickly.

My superior asked what this host was doing within our network, what data he was pulling and why he had it on this PC. We couldn't answer to say that he wasn't pulling data from that server or what data he was in fact pulling. So we had to find a solution to answer those questions. We are a Cisco shop so we kind of just went for this solution.

We did not have a previous solution.

We're playing with several different products across my teams. All of the teams are rather small. As they get time, they work on other things. 

We've got Cisco guys onsite and we talk with those guys all the time.

We have not used a previous solution because Cisco Stealthwatch is a relatively new concept on the market and we haven't used or looked into any other similar solutions from that category.

We've used Cisco for around ten years. Prior to that, we were using Nortel. We had a relationship with a Cisco account manager prior to the collaboration products. 

We did not use any other solution previously.

No, we did not use a different solution.

We used Darktrace before.

No.

We also use Extreme Networks. We find it is a bit better than Cisco. We're also partners with Fortinet.
