We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Trellix Intrusion Prevention System 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."
"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"It is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"The most valuable features are the customization of the signature and the unlimited amount of signatures in IPS."
"The threat intelligence updates are very accurate."
"Great monitoring feature."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"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."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."
"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 usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The Network Security Managers could be more stable, agile, and work faster. When it comes to instability, there is room for improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There are limited resources for configuration guidance."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"The management component could be simplified."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
