Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"NSX is good in managing security or controlling the security and the access control for each single VM."
"We secured our organisation with Micro-segmentation."
"Over the last two years, they've enhanced a lot, especially in regard to integration with OpenStack."
"VMware NSX's overlay network is its most valuable feature, as it aligns with any network philosophy and allows for efficient addressing mechanisms. Additionally, the ability to extend the on-premise network into the provider space is beneficial. There are many features provided."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and user interface."
"The most valuable features of VMware NSX are the tight integration with the VMware Hypervisor natively and the management console. We have a lot of other integrations where you are able to see the virtual machine's end-to-end visibility."
"The solution is robust as it covers everything we want to do and is stable, so we're happy enough with it. We have had no problems so far. Everything is great."
"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."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The web interface could be much better."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"I would like to have automating reporting built into common service management platforms, such as JIRA, Serviceaide, and ServiceNow."
"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container."
"I would like to see automation capabilities in the deployment process."
"It needs to be cheaper."
"We have been satisfied with the technical support. They were able to solve our problems. However, they could be faster."
"If you're worried that NSX is too complex, I would tell you to take another look. If you compare NSX to a similar solution you might find it to be a bit more complex. Usually, the guy that comes in to implement NSX isn't the network guy and will lack the knowledge for the program. He can lack the knowledge for this program and will therefore think it's complex. You need somebody with network experience."
"The tool's setup is complex and we need support to implement it."
"The setup is complex and should be made easier."
