Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"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 of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"Provides great functionality."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see better filters."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"Improve the user interface."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"Improve the API speed."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
