Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"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."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"All of the features are great."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"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 dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"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."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
