We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and NetWitness XDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"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."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"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."
"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."
"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."
"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."
