We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Zabbix 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."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"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 provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"I would like to see better filters."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
