Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics vs. ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer

Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics is well suited for network monitoring and starts off as learning how your day to day traffic flows amongst systems and assets. From there it can then pinpoint specific alerts that you have enabled to be monitored on your network. This gives us insight on any issues that may come up and how we can fix them. It also allows us to see what systems are consuming the most bandwidth and such from a big picture point of view.
