We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Splunk User Behavior Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"This is a good security product."
"It's easily scalable."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"Cisco Stealthwatch can improve by having bundled packages for popular add-ons. It would be a lot easier for people implementing it, have let's say a better way to use the product."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"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."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"There are occasional bugs."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
