We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco SecureX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cisco Security Portfolio solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"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 feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"SecureX enables us to have all the threat intelligence and threat event data in one place."
"The forensics are amazing because when you have enrichment, and the solutions talk with each other, when you need it, you have the ability to know everything in the organization: when, why, whatever."
"Using SecureX, a tool provided by Cisco, we can easily integrate it with many of our other Cisco products such as Cisco ISE and many networking devices."
"Integrates well with our existing security infrastructure."
"SecureX takes all the separate pieces of security within your company, adds in intelligence from different sites and services on the internet, and makes them work together."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to manage all the applications and visibility. For example, if there is malware, spam, or another component that wants to attack the company in my servers, network, or applications, then SecureX will react to the problem."
"The automation and orchestration tools are the most valuable features."
"I like that I don't have to jump around to five different products and log into five different places to view the data that it returns."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"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 configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"Enhancing automation capabilities could further improve the product."
"The documentation can be improved and the on-prem integration. The set of applications that it was integrated with wasn't comprehensive."
"If they could make the Cisco Umbrella piece a little bit more advanced or easier to manage, that would help. We use it for filtering and when you compare it to a normal content filter, it lacks some functionality."
"They could put in more third-party [integrations]... also more playbooks, out-of-the-box, for automation [would be helpful]."
"One of the improvements the product needs is more integration with collaboration platforms."
"For us, the biggest sticking point is that the product is not being designed for multi-tenancy use at present, from an MSP perspective."
"I would like it to integrate with another solution, e.g., DNA. I would like it to connect to that solution, but not the security aspect."
"The automation and orchestration could be simpler. It could be that all the other parts are that easy to use so that these stick out as a negative, but that's the trickiest part for us. The workflows within the orchestration are just a bit more difficult."
