Pros
"The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently.""The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings.""Assets Management as it provide complete visibility of our workload inkling EC2 instance or Serverless""The posture management and remediation features are the most valuable. We use GSL Builder to build custom rules in alignment with our organization's policies. CloudGuard has canned rules using multiple standard frameworks, but we also have additional rules.""The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring.""It presents a real-time database that is always updated.""The audit feature is the most valuable for compliance reasons. It gives you a full view of the whole environment, no matter how many accounts you have in AWS or Azure. You have it all under one umbrella.""We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."

It is able to give you important information for the correlations.""The product helps me to see malware.""Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud is scalable because it is on the cloud.""The tool's best feature is its ability to monitor network traffic. It will also inform users whether the traffic generated by a network is legitimate. The tool helps to capture and analyze the network traffic.""It tells you if there is any communication going to command and control servers, or if there is any traffic that violates your internal policy, or if any data hoarding is happening where data is being dumped from your machine to outside of the environment. It provides all such meaningful reports to help you understand what's happening.""When it comes to scalability, there's no size limit. It varies based on licenses and requirements.""Monitoring the traffic, making sure you have the visibility."

Cons
"The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement.""In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection.""Reporting should have more options.""Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on.""The false positives can be annoying at times.""The costs are high.""They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well.""Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."

"When I used to work on it, I just didn't see anything new happening for about a year and a half. Providing newer data and newer reports constantly would help. There should be more classifications and more interesting data.""The product's price is high.""The product needs to improve its user-friendliness. It is very tricky and you need to study it before using the standard functionalities.""The initial setup of Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud is complex.""If we migrate these things to an event or send us an email if there is any critical event, I would like to configure these things on the initial launch. Because if a system is compromised, there will be a lot of data movement from one post to another post to the outside. Then, we should also get an alert on email as well. We have since we have integrated these things. But a direct email for critical alerts should be there. So, I would like to enhance the critical event configuration.""The initial setup is a bit complex in terms of deployment and configuration""Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud could improve the graphical user interface. It could be a more user-friendly graphical user interface. so that. Not everybody's a cyber security professional, most of the customers that I deal with are not very skilled. The terms that they use in the solution are quite understandable for a normal CIO."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
  • "It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
  • "The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
  • "I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
