I think we will get a return on investment from this solution.

Stealthwatch has a good time to value. The cost is expensive, but it pays for itself pretty quickly when you remediate something quicker that causes you less business outage.

We definitely have gotten an ROI. Look at incidents in the security space when customers are hit with malware or anything like that. These are incidents that cost thousands of dollars or potentially millions of dollars, so the first incident that you prevent, it probably just paid for itself.

The solution's time to value is one of those things that depends on what the customer has in their environment. If they have relatively little security strengthening in their environment, this is something that brings near immediate full value of the product directly to the customer's hands. Obviously, if it's part of a bigger support portfolio that the customer has, it just depends on what they already have or don't have in that environment.

The market that we play in there's a lot of value very often because sometimes this is the first product that they're investing in.

We have seen a return on investment, from the fact that we now take less time to resolve an issue because we have Stealthwatch. We can capture some data in real time, or we can actually go back in the history base if we have to, to see where the issues may have started, and we also have baselines.

Their time to value is very good. We've upgraded and we just relicensed, so this is definitely a product that we use.

I don't think we have saved money, to be honest. But you cannot measure security and money.

The ROI was immediate for us, in regard to how we implemented it. The implementation was super quick, and we saw returns right from the get-go.

In terms of time to value, I think that would be better, from my standpoint. I would say it's definitely helped, but I wouldn't consider it the only tool that we depend on.

I would say they are getting a return on investment if it's doing what they want it to do and they're getting information. Also, it helps to be proactive on things like Stealthwatch.

I can foresee that this solution will save us an immense lot of work in the future. Instead of having 20 people looking at logs and sifting through logs, you could have one individual simply sifting through this. It will be a lot easier and less time-consuming.
So the time to value of this solution is great. For every person you're going to pay about $70 or $80,000 a year, you would now only have to pay one individual instead of 20.

We try to find ROI but sometimes, but it's just not there. It's all about the security posture.

It is hard to say yet, but at least we can tell customers that we've detected a threat, and it can be stopped in time.
