We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and ManageEngine OpManager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The setup was easy."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"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."
"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 to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
