We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Trend Micro Deep Discovery 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."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"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 features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"The solution's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"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 HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"Stealthwatch is still maturing in AI. It uses artificial intelligence for predictions, but AI still needs to mature. It is in a phase where you get 95% correct detection. As its AI engine learns more, it will become more accurate. This is applicable to all the devices that are using AI because they support both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The accuracy in the case of supervised machine learning is dependent on the data you feed into the box. The accuracy in the case of unsupervised machine learning is dependent on the algorithm. The algorithm matures depending on retrospective learning, and this is how it is able to detect zero-day attacks."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"Cisco Stealthwatch can improve by having bundled packages for popular add-ons. It would be a lot easier for people implementing it, have let's say a better way to use the product."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"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 product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
