We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the filtering.""Cisco technical support is unbeatable. It offers a premium service every time.""It has a huge rate of protection. It's has a low level of positives and a huge rate of threat protection. It's easy to deploy and easy to implement. It has an incredible price rate compared to similar solutions.""The solution is stable.""The solution is rather easy to use.""In general, the features are all great. However, if I need to take hardware for ASA, because they need to upgrade to Firepower, we want to create rules. For that, most of the time we go to the command line. Right now Firepower is working really hard on the grid. You can apply all those rules to the grid. Even if you want to monitor the logs, for example, the activity will tell you which particular user has been blocked because of that rule. Firepower's monitoring interface is very good, because you can see each and every piece. ASA also had it, but there you needed to type the command and be under the server to see all that stuff. In Firepower you have the possibility to go directly to the firewall. The way the monitoring is displayed is also very nice. The feature I appreciate most in Firepower is actually the grid. The grid has worked very well.""Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is easy to configure and the reporting is great. It's also very user-friendly.""The whole solution is very good, and stable."

"What we like most in LogRhythm NetworkXDR is its GUI. The GUI is the best when compared to competitors. For example, there is another SIEM in QRadar and Splunk, and for open source SIEM there is Wazuh and there are other SIEM solutions, but LogRhythm NetworkXDR is more reliable and easier to access. It's easy to use and its display is easy to understand. Learning LogRhythm NetworkXDR is smooth sailing compared to other SIEM solutions."

Cons
"The main dashboard of Cisco Sourcefire SNORT could improve.""While the alerts they offer are good, it could improve it in the sense that they should be more detailed to make the alerts more useful to us in general. Sometimes the solution will offer up false positives. Due to the fact that the alerts aren't detailed, we have to go dig around to see why is it being blocked. The solution would be infinitely better if there was just a bit more detail in the alert information and logging we receive.""There are problems setting up VPNs for some regions.""The cloud can be improved.""The pricing needs to be improved. We have lots of low-budget clients around us. Budget constraints are always a deterrent in our market.""The customization of the rules can be simplified.""I did not experience any pain points that required improvement. Maybe a couple of false-positives, but that's about it.""The solution's approach to managing traffic blocking is confusing and impractical."

"What would make LogRhythm NetworkXDR better is if they could run it open source, similar to what is being done in Wazuh, and Wazuh is also a good tool to compare against. More integration could also make LogRhythm NetworkXDR better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have a three-year license for this solution."
  • "Licensing for this solution is paid on a yearly basis."
  • "I don't know the exact amount, but most of the time when I go to a company with a proposition, they will say, "This thing that you are selling is good, but it's expensive. Why don't you propose something like FortiGate, Check Point, or Palo Alto?" Cisco device are expensive compared to other devices."
  • "The cost is per port and can be expensive but it does include training and support for three years."
