We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Trellix Intrusion Prevention System 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 solution's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"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."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"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."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"The product is worth the investment."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"The solution can scale."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"The solution could improve some aspects of detection."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The management component could be simplified."
"The technical support must be improved."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"The solution needs to improve the graphical interface. And they had a limitation in some of the sensor modems as well."
"The management console needs to be less complex and easier to navigate."
