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 is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"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."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"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."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"The solution's user interface is very smooth compared to other products."
"Infoblox Secure DNS helped us protect our internal environment by mitigating and stopping attacks through the Internet using DNS protocols and queries."
"The most valuable feature of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is its performance and visibility."
"Infoblox offers granularity and advanced DNS protection to mitigate DNS attacks. It's a very secure solution."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"The main advantages with Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the dashboards, the reporting system, and they have the GUI interface."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"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."
"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."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
