Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"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 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."
"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"Performance is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."
"The dynamic behavior analysis is excellent. We have many attacks caught by the FortiSandbox as zero-day attacks. Additionally, the administration is simple and can be customized to fit your companies needs."
"The most valuable features for me when it comes to Fortinet FortiSandbox are the integrity of the Sandbox and the power of the analyzing tool of the solution."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine."
"FortiSandbox helps us handle unknown threats. Every vendor is competing for who can detect an unknown threat the fastest. Fortinet is competitive in the market."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"One area that could be improved in SNA is the integration with Cisco ISE for user and session details, which currently requires additional setup."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."
"For the MSSPs, it would be great if the product could display all the threat chains on a dashboard since it is an area where the tool is currently lacking."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."
"If we can have more dashboards, it would be good."
"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."
"I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords."
"It can be difficult if you need to use the Command Line Interface (CLI). It's much easier if you only have to deal with the GUI."
