Find out in this report how the two Microsegmentation Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The simplicity of the SDP platform is a standout feature; instead of navigating through intricate details, users can seamlessly connect to the company's network or switch to the internet with minimal effort."
"The interface is really friendly. It's simple to understand."
"One of the most important features is stopping lateral movement across our network."
"It is a scalable solution...The support answers your questions very fast."
"The flexibility of the tool is valuable. It is very robust. It has a very robust configuration capability."
"It is pretty stable."
"Some of the key features I find most valuable are the highly graphical user interface, virtualization of networks, and Microsoft application compatibility. It has all the functionality that we require."
"We are happy with the scalability."
"Their technical support is very good. They help us figure out solutions when we have problems."
"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 most valuable features are the micro-segmentation and integrated security options."
"We like that everything is integrated."
"The organization of it is logical, useful, and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create, develop, and deploy servers in minutes to hours, rather than days."
"They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection."
"On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult."
"It would be better to connect to an application portal from any device. Documentation and support could be better."
"One limitation is that it's harder to provide access to multiple applications in the company with Appgate, but that's probably because of poor management."
"One thing that kind of sticks out to me is the ability to do a proper non-split tunnel. VPN tunnel-wise, it is not really a true unsplit tunnel, but I think that's just because of the way it's designed. A split VPN basically allows your system to talk to other systems without being forced down the tunnel. A VPN running in a non-split tunnel mode forces all the traffic down the tunnel to wherever you're VPNing to. It forces the traffic down so that the traffic is subject to the firewall and rules that you have in your corporate environment and such. It helps to prevent remote malicious folks that may be talking directly to that box from piggybacking into the corporate environment through it. They do it partially, but it would be nice to see more of an enterprise-level solution there."
"The user interface should be improved as it is not very easy to work with the updates."
"Some configuration maximums are limiting to the user, especially when it comes to the deployment of very, very large environments."
"I would like to see automation capabilities in the deployment process."
"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."
"It's not feature-rich."
"The solution is only sold as part of a bundle and not as an individual product."
"I would rate this product an eight because it's a good product but it needs more work. They should fix some of the bugs."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
"Nowadays, NSX supports the KVM and ESXi hypervisors only. It should also support Hyper-V and Citrix hypervisors."
