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."
"The ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"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 most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"It's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"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."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
