"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"It is helpful if you schedule daily or weekly archiving for your config groups. Then, you can go by what are in those configuration groups, before and after, if you make changes. So, configuration management is really helpful in network management."
"We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us."
"It has the best automation features."
"The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features for us at this early stage are the interface and the integration with existing VMware solutions."
"One of the big improvements between the NSX-V and NSX-T is that in NSX-T you are no longer dependent on V-Center anymore."
"The alert features are the most valuable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It follows a certain structure and you won't miss a step. It's all on the same level, step by step."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"Firewall security is one of VMware NSX's vital features"
"For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance."
"I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."

"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time."
"It still needs to grow. There are still some features that it doesn't do, like it doesn't do multicasting."
"They have some limitations in the firewall features as compared to the on-prem or dedicated hardware appliance. They can add more features, such as IPS and IDS, to the cloud firewall."
"The technical support could use some improvement."
"Quite a complex solution."
"We have done three installations and we have not had any critical issues. The time it took for the installation was approximately two days. However, they should provide better documentation."
"Its licensing model could be VM based."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
