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."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"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."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"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."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"This product is very user-friendly."
"FortiWeb offers a good price for the marketplace. In the Sri Lankan market, it's hard to find high-end products that can match FortiWeb's pricing. For high-end solutions, the price is always extremely high."
"It can scale well."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"High-performance and detection engines, provide a high rate of exposure of web attacks."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the ability to disseminate between the user entering some wrong value to the field, and a suspicious actor trying to exploit some known vulnerability."
"Technical support is very good."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see better filters."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"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."
"Another area for improvement is logging. When troubleshooting, the logs sometimes take a while to update. We've had people report that some things aren't logged if they're successful. It's a bit hit-and-miss. For example, sometimes people access one of our services, and it's successful, but we don't see that in the logs."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I had some small problems when I was upgrading firmware. After the upgrade, some of my certificates were deleted."
"The support side of things can be improved."
"The initial setup process could be improved."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"The solution is not very scalable, to scale up would require another deployment with a new appliance and a change to the network."
"Lacks functionalities that are available in other solutions."
