Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Red Hat, SolarWinds and others in Network Automation."The features that I have found to be the most valuable are the collecting of statistics, reporting, and implementing changes to particular environments on a scheduled basis with no manual intervention."
"The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The most valuable features are security and dynamic routing."
"It does have capabilities of micro-segmenting a network, being able to create smaller segments of various types of applications separated by various tiers."
"VMware NSX offers some of the best features for security, such as micro-segmentation."
"The microsegmentation allows me to sleep at night. My job is reducing risk, plugging security holes, and working with the automated layer security. Even if somebody spins up a new server, it has to have a tag in NSX."
"The firewall is its most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward. You just have to click it and follow the manuals."
"It gives more security and micro-segmentation. It helps to set network configurations in an easy way."
"Anything to do with storage needs improvement."
"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."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"They could do more with cloud management."
"It was stable for one year, there was no impact. In the last two months, we had two big incidents."
"VMware NSX can improve the migration tools from the older environments to the new environment. For example, the NSX-V has become a legacy solution, it's out of support, but customers are able to keep using it. For migration purposes, it's better for them to provide a proper tool. It will be easy to migrate from an old environment to a new one."
"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution."
"Occasionally the licensing is not very clear. They should make it easier to understand."
"We had some complexities implementing into the other parts of a network."
