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."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"It's easily scalable."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"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."
"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."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
