We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Fortinet FortiWeb based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"Provides good vulnerability scanning, IPS, and geolocalization."
"The deployment was very easy."
"The support is quite good."
"The valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb vulnerability scanner"
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Fail-Open."
"FortiWeb provides the level of security we need at an excellent price point. It's easy to deploy and operationally efficient."
"L-7 protection makes possible to protect legacy/not up-to-date servers/applications without changing the application code."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I think the interface is a little lacking. The interface seems like it just needs to be modernized. It's been the same interface now, ever since I've seen it probably four years ago."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"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."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"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."
"We want to see more detailed logging, such as audit logging, as this would significantly enhance the solution's reporting. We currently get some information from logs, but more would be better."
"It may be better if it were easier to create roles."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"F5 and some other firewalls are easier to customize. FortiWeb could be more flexible and customizable. The documentation could also be improved because many of the advanced features aren't fully documented."
"I know that we have run into some issues with an SSL certificate and how it functions. Sometimes this breaks connectivity or just limits certain websites that are whitelisted."
"Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company."
"Their documentation is fairly complete, but it's sometimes a little bit difficult to search for exactly what you're looking for to resolve an issue. There have been times when we've gone to try to search for areas that we needed to get information on, and it has not always been extremely clear exactly how a particular thing needs to be set up."
"The solution could offer more integration opportunities."
