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."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable features provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"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."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."

"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
