Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring. If there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted."
"I haven't heard of any issues with stability."
"Roaming feature, application control and firewall features."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"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 solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The most valuable features provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"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."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"The packet analyzer needs improvement."
"Technical support is a little slow."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard, where you can get the information with a simple click."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
