"It helps us to assist our customers to isolate problems. If it is us who is having the problem, then we can use it to streamline the process."

"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"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."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."
"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."
"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."
