Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections.""The interface and dashboard are amazing.""The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility.""Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features.""This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks.""The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources.""I found the solution to be stable."

"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects.""My favorite feature is Storyline.""The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate.""We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate.""The ease of use of the platform is very nice.""The management console is the most valuable feature.""The visibility is the best part of the solution.""We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."

Cons
"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.""In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session.""The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see.""Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there.""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.""They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware.""It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."

More Akamai Guardicore Segmentation Cons →

"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky.""The cost has the potential for improvement.""I would like additional integrations.""It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process.""Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing.""It took us a while to configure the software to work well in this type of environment, as the support documents were not always clear.""Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time.""The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."
