"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's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"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 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."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
