Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"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 solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."
"The most valuable features for me when it comes to Fortinet FortiSandbox are the integrity of the Sandbox and the power of the analyzing tool of the solution."
"The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward."
"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox's most valuable feature is the security it provides against threats, such as ransomware. Additionally, it integrates well with APIs."
"The main benefit of Fortinet FortiSandbox is that it allows organizations to detect and prevent unknown threats from entering an infrastructure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"It can be difficult if you need to use the Command Line Interface (CLI). It's much easier if you only have to deal with the GUI."
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."
"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."
"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."
"The initial setup is not too complex but could be easier."
"I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords."
