Pros

It brings visibility, security control, and standardization.""The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan.""Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful.""It learns from behavior, attacks, management, detections, captures packets, real-time analysis, et cetera. It's generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis.""The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature.""We can monitor each activity from our mobile devices, so there is complete visibility of our cloud traffic flows, with threat intelligence provided by Check Point."

"Monitoring the traffic, making sure you have the visibility.""Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud is scalable because it is on the cloud.""The tool's best feature is its ability to monitor network traffic. It will also inform users whether the traffic generated by a network is legitimate. The tool helps to capture and analyze the network traffic.""The logs in Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud are very good when doing the API integration in the team. It is able to give you important information for the correlations.""It tells you if there is any communication going to command and control servers, or if there is any traffic that violates your internal policy, or if any data hoarding is happening where data is being dumped from your machine to outside of the environment. It provides all such meaningful reports to help you understand what's happening.""The product helps me to see malware.""When it comes to scalability, there's no size limit. It varies based on licenses and requirements."

Cons
"The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts.""The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes.""The product must provide different features like antivirus.""I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level.""We want to be able to customize the solution more in order to meet the needs of our company.""The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues.""The dashboard customization has room for improvement.""I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."

"When I used to work on it, I just didn't see anything new happening for about a year and a half. Providing newer data and newer reports constantly would help. There should be more classifications and more interesting data.""Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud could improve the graphical user interface. It could be a more user-friendly graphical user interface. so that. Not everybody's a cyber security professional, most of the customers that I deal with are not very skilled. The terms that they use in the solution are quite understandable for a normal CIO.""If we migrate these things to an event or send us an email if there is any critical event, I would like to configure these things on the initial launch. Because if a system is compromised, there will be a lot of data movement from one post to another post to the outside. Then, we should also get an alert on email as well. We have since we have integrated these things. But a direct email for critical alerts should be there. So, I would like to enhance the critical event configuration.""The product's price is high.""The initial setup of Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud is complex.""The product needs to improve its user-friendliness. It is very tricky and you need to study it before using the standard functionalities.""The initial setup is a bit complex in terms of deployment and configuration"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
  • "It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
  • "The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
  • "I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
