"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"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."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."

"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."

"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
