Increased the visibility of what is happening in our network

Pros

"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."

Cons

"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."

Can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems

"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. "

Cons

Offers visibility to users but is expensive

Improved our organization greatly but greater customizability would be beneficial

Pros

"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools. "

The network visibility feature opens up a whole new pane of glass that didn't exist before but it could be more administrator-friendly

Pros

"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."

Cons

"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."

Enhances our overall security posture and helps us gain deeper insights into our network traffic

Pros

"Another notable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is its Layer 7 visibility, which allows us to monitor and analyze network communications at the application layer."

Cons

"One area that could be improved in SNA is the integration with Cisco ISE for user and session details, which currently requires additional setup."
