Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"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 solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"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 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."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
