Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections.""That is primarily because I've seen increased rules. It's kind of caught us a little off guard. With GuardiCore, I have had to deal with their technical support and engineering team in Israel. They are amazing. They are very quick to adapt.""The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources.""We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming.""Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services.""Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy.""The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."

"The tool offers protection from viruses for devices and endpoints.""It can scale quite well.""Everything can be combined from the endpoint and server infrastructure security perspective.""McAfee MOVE AntiVirus was both stable and scalable.""The protection on offer is very fast.""It protects the system from viruses and hacking.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products."

Cons
"Customers would want to see the cost improved.""The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow.""Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error.""Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there.""It would be very helpful for beginners if the solution had more windows to help with the terms inside instead of going to the documentation.""In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session.""They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware.""Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."

"The solution must provide better pricing.""The solution could be cheaper. they should work to lower their pricing. It's too expensive right now.""The performance of this product could be improved.""Sometimes, the updates don't happen successfully. The updates start, but they are not completed. Let's say there is a process that runs on the server-side every night, and it pushes the updates. Sometimes, these updates fail. I'm not sure whether it is a McAfee's problem or an internal problem with our systems. If this is really an issue with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus, McAfee can work on it and improve it in the next release. If it is an internal issue, I need to figure out why it is happening within the organization. We may need to take some technical support from McAfee to see what the problem is and then we need to get it fixed. At this point in time, all I know is that it happens sometimes.""The solution could be a bit less expensive.""It would be ideal if the product could offer more integration.""One problem is that when you switch on the system, Windows 10 takes almost two to three minutes to get initiated and then McAfee adds on to it because it starts scanning automatically.""The solution could always be more secure."

    Overview

    Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is a software-based microsegmentation solution that provides the simplest, fastest, and most intuitive way to enforce Zero Trust principles. It enables you to prevent malicious lateral movement in your network through precise segmentation policies, visuals of activity within your IT environment, and network security alerts. Akamai Guardicore Segmentation works across your data centers, multicloud environments, and endpoints. It is faster to deploy than infrastructure segmentation approaches and provides you with unparalleled visibility and control of your network.

    McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is a virtual environment antivirus solution. Traditional antivirus doesn’t play well with virtualized infrastructure. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus brings optimized, advanced malware protection to virtualized desktops and servers. It offers security and performance for your company without requiring that every virtual machine be installed with an antivirus application. After identifying threats, McAfee MOVE AntiVirus protects your environment using the settings you define.

    • Seamless management: A single solution for desktops and virtual servers works across all major hypervisors. An agentless, tuned option works on VMware vCloud Networking and Security and VMware NSX.
    • Optimized scanning: To eliminate scanning bottlenecks and delays, the solution offloads configuration, scanning, and .DAT update operations from individual guest images to an offload scan server.
    • Visibility: Ability to see into workloads and their underlying platforms through Cloud Workload Discovery for private cloud deployments.
    • Zero-day threat protection Quickly detect and contain zero-day threats and integrate perimeter and virtual machine protection with use of local reputation intelligence.
    • Flexible deployment: Run the same solution in multi platform environments, including agentless environments (VMware, Windows, and Linux VMs) and all major hypervisors and Windows VMs.
    • Single console management The ePolicy Orchestrator implements security solutions across virtual, physical, and cloud environments.
    • Optimization of resources: Scale your scanning power either up or down by using elastic provisioning of offline scanners with event notifications.
    • Manage Your Policies: Automatically tag vulnerable virtual machines and unify policies.

    • Boosts web and intrusion protection
    • Blocks unknown and zero-day threats: File analysis in real time via McAfee Global Threat Intelligence.
