"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"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."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"It does change the way we troubleshoot and it is relatively easy to use once you learn it. I would recommend it to someone considering it."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"The product supports different platforms."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"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."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
