You are able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it
In the last year or two, we have been working with our Cisco NAS engineers to improve our security posturing. It is more our being proactive rather than reactive. While Stealthwatch and Lancope have this ability to look inside and give you visibility (a great feature), follow-up is the rule. We would like filters that you can put into place to tap onto certain types of behaviors, alerts out, and/or hopefully a block. This is sort of what we are looking for. I might be speaking too early, because we are not down this path yet. We know the feature set is there, we just do not know yet how to achieve it. That is proactive rather than more reactive. For Lancope Stealthwatch, we would like to see it more on the ASA Firewall platform. While this might already be available, this is more a failing of Cisco to inform us if it is there. For example: * Are we on the right or wrong version of the code? * What does the code look like? * Are we are really looking at firewalls? Or is it more about the foundation and route switches that we are seeing? It is about visibility.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"It's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."

Cons

"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"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."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"The price range is a little high."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
