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."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"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."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"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."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The backup is the best feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"We get support in the free version."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"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."
"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."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"The price could be better."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
