Find out what your peers are saying about Ekahau, NetAlly, iBwave and others in Network Modeling and Simulation."In a short amount of time, you can see what went wrong on a screen in a report."
"It is scalable from the beginning. It is a product that you can scale upwards whenever you want."
"The standout feature of Cisco Network Assurance Engine is its ability to proactively detect and prevent network issues before they occur."
"It is easy to set up."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"At the beginning, the setup was complex."
"The scalability is one of the biggest failures of the solution."
"It needs authentication beyond just local and LDAP. It should also have TACACS+ and RADIUS."
"To enhance Cisco Network Assurance Engine, simplifying its interface and making it more user-friendly would be beneficial."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
