We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and ManageEngine OpManager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Cisco Stealthwatch provides the solutions analytics and threat detection capabilities that I am looking for. It has also improved the network visibility of our organization."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"I think the interface is a little lacking. The interface seems like it just needs to be modernized. It's been the same interface now, ever since I've seen it probably four years ago."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"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."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
