We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Corelight based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"It's easy to create additional dashboards specific to supporting specific tasks."
"Corelight is easy to use."
"It's an easy way for us to get visibility in a client's environment."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to handle."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded IDS from Suricata."
"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"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 to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"In the next release, building a graphical user interface would be helpful."
"Machine learning could be a good improvement, but it's very costly."
"They can enhance the interface of the product. They can make it more interactive and also easier to use for feature access."
"The solution’s architecture is complex and difficult to understand. There are multiple machines and VMs."
"Corelight hasn’t added features in a long time."
