We performed a comparison between Broadcom Network Flow Analysis and Cisco Secure Network Analytics 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"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 solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"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 customizability of the UI should improve."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
