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."
"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."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"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."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
