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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"It is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"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."
"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"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."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
