We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"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."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"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."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
