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."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"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."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"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."
"It's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"The licensing price could be better."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
