Cisco Secure Network Analytics Reviews

We are a system integrator and I have implemented this solution for one of our customers.

This solution is normally used for anomaly detection and malware detection.

It is deployed on-premises.

The organization now have a better overview how their traffic is flowing.

The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally.

The usability of this solution needs to be improved.

The initial setup of this solution can be simplified.

The stability of this solution is good.

We have three people who are using this solution.

I would rate technical support for this solution highly.

We used Darktrace before.

The initial setup of this solution is complex.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to know the whole infrastructure before beginning. Also, before starting, you have to know about the licensing of the equipment.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

There's nothing like it and a dream to operate, very intuitive. The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data.

Easily identifiable anomalies that you can't see with signature detections.

I am so familiar with the product I would say none. Lancope has always listened to customer input for product enhancements. One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based. A local agent could help manage endpoints.

12 years.

No.

No.

I've known those guys for a long time. They are completely familiar with their product.

No.

Very straightforward. They helped in every step of the installation.

Licensing is done by flows per second, not including outside>in traffic.

I have tried the Sourcefire solution but StealthWatch wins because of ease of use.

Go for it. Also great for your network segmentation project.

My customers buy Stealthwatch for traffic analysis. 

Cisco could improve the administration for the customers.

I have been selling Stealthwatch for one to two years. 

I haven't heard from my customers that they had any problems with stability. 

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. 

I would rate Stealthwatch a nine out of ten. To make it a ten, Cisco should offer more training. 

We primarily handle the design, implementation, and support for the solution and we also manage collaboration, routing and switching, security products, et cetera.

Overall, the implementation is very good.

The solution offers good security. 

We find the solution is very good at collaborating with other solutions.

We don't really see any limitations on the product. Overall, it's been good.

We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing.

We've been using the solution for about two months. It hasn't been too long just yet.

We can handle technical support if our clients run into any issues. It's part of the services we offer.

We also use Extreme Networks. We find it is a bit better than Cisco. We're also partners with Fortinet.

The implementation is very easy and straightforward. 

We implement the solution for our clients. We're Cisco partners, and therefore can manage all kinds of deployments.

We are a Cisco premier partner.

In general, I would rate the solution ten out of ten. We've had very good experiences so far.
