Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."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."
"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 label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"It's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"The ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"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."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"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."
"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."
"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 would be very helpful for beginners if the solution had more windows to help with the terms inside instead of going to the documentation."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"I think the interface is a little lacking. The interface seems like it just needs to be modernized. It's been the same interface now, ever since I've seen it probably four years ago."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
