"The management system is one of the best available."
"This product has a simple configuration that can be accessed through a web interface or the API."
"The Meraki interface is really well driven and very mature."
"Meraki SD-WAN is stable and the performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring and being able to browse packets dynamically based on priorities."
"The solution is pretty easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the firewall capability. It's also got a very good graphical user interface and is very easy to manage."
"Nutanix Flow Network Security is a simple solution that is usable, easy to understand, and easy to deploy."
"Flow Network Security's most valuable features are user-friendliness, the console, and policy creation."
"The network view was excellent as it allowed us to expand the server view and visualize all connections it made within the environment. This was particularly useful in identifying the path of our data and not just its location within the data center."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution allows us to segregate two virtual machines that are in the same cluster."
"It allows for policies that enable complete visibility and traffic control."
"Nutanix Flow is straightforward to install. You only need to select a checkmark that you want to enable Nutanix Flow."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Nutanix Flow has a lot of data protection features. It's also valuable for operations and management. It's a big solution that works well with different solutions and is suitable for most business cases."
"From the vice perspective, they just are not as robust as some of the other vendors. They have limitations in throughput and the number of circuits that they can support on a wide area network. Their higher-end security is all cloud-based. They have some capability with the premise-based solutions, but the higher ends are all cloud-based, and that's via Cisco Umbrella."
"This solution can only support up to two WAN ports."
"The blocklist on the Cisco Meraki side isn't complete or very large. We'd like to see them update and expand this."
"You need to have internet access to configure the solution. You cannot do it locally, there should be a local option."
"The default classes should be expanded."
"The interface in the VPN management system can be a bit complex for users to understand."
"It's a matter of cost and expenses that we may take some issue with."
"The solution needs a multi-use provider portal."
"Nutanix Flow's networking features could use some improvement. Also, I don't know if it's currently supporting load balancing or not."
"While the graphical interface of Nutanix Flow Network Security could have been improved, and some of the reporting features needed extra work, the product's features were similar to VMware's NSX. The difference lay more in the presentation and user interface."
"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"We would like the reporting functionality of this solution to be improved."
"I would rate Flow Network Security's stability seven out of ten - it could be improved."
"The most difficult part is the configuration of the initial blueprints."
"The documentation offered by the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
