Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"The long-term management of the security policies could be improved with some kind of automation platform, something like Chef or Puppet or Ansible, to help you manage the policies after day-one... to then manage the policies and changes to those policies, going forward, through some type of automation process is not turning out to be really easy."
"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."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
