Comparison Guide
Vehere is a security first company built from the ground up with threat detection, investigation and real time response as its foundation. Security isn’t an add-on. Instead, it’s at the core of every product decision and capability
In contrast, Cisco entered the NDR space in 2015 through its acquisition of Lancope, the solution that evolved into Stealthwatch and later rebranded as Security Network Analytics (SNA). With Cisco’s extensive security portfolio, SNA is one component among many, rather than a central focus area. Whether the same level of focus and resources are directed toward product/feature development and support remains questionable
Vehere NDR delivers lossless full-packet capture across E-W and N-S traffic, enabling full-session reconstruction and deep forensic investigation without blind-spots
Cisco SNA captures flow data and metadata. Requires third-party solutions such as Endace for full PCAP access, limiting investigation depth
Vehere NDR supports advanced analytics, full session reconstruction and retrospective analysis as built-in capabilities, at no additional cost
Cisco SNA lacks session reconstruction as it is restricted to flow level conversations, which can offer broad visibility at best
Vehere AI operates entirely on-premises without dependence on cloud-based analysis
Cisco SNA integrates with cloud-based ML services (Cognitive Analytics) to augment detection
Vehere NDR provides native, on-demand dynamic file analysis, enabling safe detonation and inspection of suspicious files in a safe environment
Cisco SNA has a separate product, Cisco Secure Malware Analytics for file execution but it can only be integrated with its XDR workflows and not SNA’s
Vehere NDR enables user entity behavior analysis as an integrated capability
Cisco SNA charges separately for UEBA capabilities under Cisco ISE license
Vehere offers built-in PII hashing and masking, with custom privacy rules in addition to RBAC and integration with identity systems to ensure 100% of customer data remains sovereign and on-premises
Cisco SNA offers rudimentary features such as Role based access control (RBAC) and integration with identity systems as the only privacy handling features
Ingests full packets, selected PCAPs or flow data
Built-in PCAP viewer to analyze native and third-party PCAPs, with fast packet search and ability to pivot instantly from alerts to PCAPs
Requires third-party solutions for PCAP capture and analysis, limiting threat hunting to flows
Proprietary IDS combining signature based and ML powered detection, fully integrated at no additional cost
Can detect limited malwares indirectly via network behavior. For IDS capability, a separate product is required, that is Cisco Secure Firewall
Throughput based licensing model with no packet, flow or host restrictions
Battle-tested by the world’s toughest defense and intelligence agencies, our technology users can detect and neutralize the most
advanced cyber threats
Vehere’s AI amplifies human detection to expertise, detecting hidden threats, connecting signals, and accelerating response across massive, complex environments
Vehere delivers full-packet visibility, integrated full-packet forensics, native session reconstruction, built-in IDS, and on-demand dynamic file analysis in a single platform. Its on-premises deployment, PII masking, identity-aware analytics, encrypted traffic visibility with JA4 and on-demand decryption, and support for 5000+ protocols provide deep investigative capability and complete control without external dependencies or cost add-ons
Cisco SNA relies primarily on flow and metadata analysis without native full packet capture, limiting forensic depth and investigation accuracy. Capabilities such as packet forensics, sandboxing, IDS, and UEBA require separate Cisco products or third-party integrations (e.g., Endace, Secure Malware Analytics, ISE), increasing complexity and cost. Its dependence on flow-based visibility and cloud-augmented analytics restricts full-session reconstruction and payload-level threat analysis
Vehere NDR captures full packets, metadata, and flows continuously, enabling complete session reconstruction and packet-level forensics. Cisco SNA primarily relies on flow data (NetFlow/IPFIX) and metadata, lacking native full packet capture, which limits deep visibility into network activity.
Vehere NDR enables full session reconstruction with integrated packet-level analysis and native PCAP viewer for instant investigation. Cisco SNA is limited to flow-level conversations and requires third-party tools like Endace or cPacket for packet-level forensics, making investigations fragmented and slower.
Vehere offers a 4-in-1 platform with NDR, IDS, forensics, and dynamic file analysis built-in. Cisco SNA depends on multiple products (e.g., Secure Firewall for IDS, Secure Malware Analytics for sandboxing, ISE for UEBA), increasing complexity and cost.
