Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"Scalability is its most valuable feature." "Instead of proving that all the access control lists are in place and all the EPGs are correct, we can just point the auditor to a dashboard and point out that there aren't any escaped conversations. It saves an enormous, enormous amount of time." "A complete and powerful micro-segmentation solution." "The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don't have to do packet captures on the network." "The product offers great visibility into the network so we can enforce security measures." "The most valuable feature of this solution is security." "The solution offers 100% telemetry coverage. The telemetry you collect is not sampled, it's not intermittent. It's complete. You see everything in it, including full visibility of all activities on your endpoints and in your network." "The most valuable feature is micro-segmentation, which is the most important with respect to visibility." | "It has helped us to understand internal network visibility and firewall policy implementation. We use the product to simplify firewall policy implementation." "The flexibility of the solution is its most valuable feature." |
Cons | |
"It is not so easy to use and configure. It needs a bunch of further resources to work, which is mainly the biggest downside of it. The deployment is huge." "They should scale down the hardware a bit. The initial hardware investment is two million dollars so it's a price point problem. The issue with the price comes from the fact that you have to have it with enormous storage and enormous computes." "It has an uninviting interface." "I'd like to see better documentation for advanced features. The documentation is fairly basic. I would also like to see better integration with other applications." "The emailed notifications are either hard to find or they are not available. Search capabilities can be improved." "The interface is really helpful for technical people, but it is not user-friendly." "The multi-tenancy, redundancy, backup and restore functionalities, as well as the monitoring aspects of the solution, need improvement. The solution offers virtually no enterprise-grade possibility for monitoring." "There is some overlap between Cisco Tetration and AppDynamics and I need to have a single pane of glass, rather than have to jump between different tools." | "It requires a low-level re-architecting of the product." "The interaction we've had with the support team hasn't been ideal. Technical support should be improved." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"The price is outrageous. If you have money to throw at the product, then do it." "Pricing depends on the scope of the application and the features. Larger installations save more." "It is not cheap and pricing may limit scalability." "The price is based on how many computers you're going to install it on." | Information Not Available |
