Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility.""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.""The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections.""Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems.""I found the solution to be stable.""We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming.""The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."

"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points.""Its analytical capability is really good.""The product has a very good graphical interface.""We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive.""One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN.""The intention and the idea of the filter is great.""All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."

Cons
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it.""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.""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.""It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud.""Customers would want to see the cost improved.""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.""The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."

"The only downside to this software is the price.""This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved.""The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously.""Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug.""Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster.""It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive.""They need to create a more simplified UI."
