Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Akamai, Cisco and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."It's what we use the CIS Benchmarks for. It's for employing hardening rules and keeping them up to date when things happen on our systems. So it's really configurations and stuff that harden and report back."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"It does have capabilities of micro-segmenting a network, being able to create smaller segments of various types of applications separated by various tiers."
"The product has valuable features for security and network extension."
"Provides protection for virtual machines."
"The initial setup was straightforward. You just have to click it and follow the manuals."
"Provides flexibility to deploy and have network virtualization on different types of firewalls."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Technically, VMware NSX is more advanced technology-wise when compared to others. We have been studying it and so far, so good. We know that the NSX product is superior when it comes to software virtualized networks. </p> <p>If you are looking to work with new and future technologies, then NSX is one of the best options. It costs less for power consumption since it will be a virtual network and not a pure physical network that consumes more energy."
"This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"The next release of NSX should try to make Kubernetes and container integration a little easier than it is now. It's quite a complicated process."
"Everybody needs a network to connect to, and VMware doesn't readily provide one."
"It isn't easy to deploy."
"They could branch out to the physical layer."
"The engineering team has room for improvement. They should have have more of a Knowledge Base about different case studies and should develop more advanced features. These kinds of improvements will change the way things get done."
"It was stable for one year, there was no impact. In the last two months, we had two big incidents."
"One drawback is this solution requires a lot of other products in the VMware ecosystem to have a full end-to-end operation orchestration monitoring. You have to buy a lot of add-ons to fully utilize the functionality."
