Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy.""The interface and dashboard are amazing.""The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature.""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.""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.""Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems.""The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall.""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."

Cons
"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.""Customers would want to see the cost improved.""In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session.""The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow.""Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow.""Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult.""Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have.""The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
