We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and ThousandEyes 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."
"The solution's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"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."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"The company provides excellent service."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"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."
"Stealthwatch is still maturing in AI. It uses artificial intelligence for predictions, but AI still needs to mature. It is in a phase where you get 95% correct detection. As its AI engine learns more, it will become more accurate. This is applicable to all the devices that are using AI because they support both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The accuracy in the case of supervised machine learning is dependent on the data you feed into the box. The accuracy in the case of unsupervised machine learning is dependent on the algorithm. The algorithm matures depending on retrospective learning, and this is how it is able to detect zero-day attacks."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
