We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Fortinet FortiSandbox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The artifacts available in the tool provide better information for analyzing network traffic. It enables a holistic view of network traffic and general packet analysis. It's easy to identify anomalies without the use of signatures. The way in which we implemented Stealthwatch Cloud has enabled my team to analyze traffic behind proxies."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"he solution's GUI is good."
"The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company."
"The technical support is very good."
"Integration is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. You can integrate even third-party solutions so that they can send the information or files they quarantine through the FortiSandbox"
"Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware. Additionally, it integrates well with APIs."
"The main benefit of Fortinet FortiSandbox is that it allows organizations to detect and prevent unknown threats from entering an infrastructure."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"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."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"If you were to compare prices between vendors and manufacturers, you would see that the lowest equipment in the Sandbox line is quite expensive for a new customer."
"For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine."
"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM."
"It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process."
"The use cases in Fortinet FortiSandbox are not good. It is difficult to upload a custom VM for Fortinet FortiSandbox. The integration of Fortinet FortiSandbox with other Fortinet or FortiGate firewalls is not good. VMs are already installed in the hardware and are working fine, but we tried to approve the custom VM many times but did not succeed."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
