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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"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."
"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."
"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"The most valuable feature is utilization."
"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."
"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."
"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."
"It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process."
"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"I think the interface is a little lacking. The interface seems like it just needs to be modernized. It's been the same interface now, ever since I've seen it probably four years ago."
"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."
"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"It's not able to communicate with our probes."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
