We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."
"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"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."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"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."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
