"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"The artifacts available in the tool provide better information for analyzing network traffic. It enables a holistic view of network traffic and general packet analysis. It's easy to identify anomalies without the use of signatures. The way in which we implemented Stealthwatch Cloud has enabled my team to analyze traffic behind proxies."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"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."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Web Isolation is the user-friendliness of the solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"Symantec Web Isolation could improve by reducing licensing costs."
