So far, scalability has been no issue at all for us. We did the proof of concept with a small group of servers, some 20 to 25. Within the first couple of days we'd deployed it to about 75 to 100. Now we're up to 200 servers. It seems to scale as fast as we can add agents to it and we haven't noticed any negative impact from going from one server to 200. And we don't expect any going from 200 to 1,200. 

I think it would only be limited by the power of the SaaS instance and they scale that for you automatically on the backend as you take on more agents. If the SaaS instance requires more resources, they just provide that for you seamlessly without you having to do anything.

It's very scalable. It's primarily the larger customers with thousands of servers.

I rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has four to six users. 

In terms of scalability, the more features offered, the more devices it can handle. So, I'd rate it around eight out of ten.

We only have two customers who are using it because it's not widely marketed in the Indian region. One is a BFSI enterprise, a customer in the banking industry.

For our environment, it scaled perfectly fine with no issues (up to 250 agents), so there haven't been any issues.

We have 80 applications secured and 250 agents installed at the moment. 

I would rate the product's scalability a five out of ten due to the current limits on the number of agents, labels, and rules. Around 5000 servers use Guardicore Centra in my organization. 

GuardiCore scales very easily. Normally it's managed by the security team. In terms of the roles, we have the security team: system administrators and security. I've had GuardiCore tested in local government and cities. We have one client that had a very large deployment with multiple data centers and financials too. 

The ones that we are now testing with are mostly in the financial sector. I've added a medium-sized deployment. We have one large, several mediums. With the new licensing, it's now easy for a small deployment because it scales both ways.

For deployment and maintenance, we require a minimum of one staff member. The current roles of those are security administrators. Those are the ideal jobs because of the integration with the security class at the data center. 

Where we have GuardiCore deployed, we use both system administrators and security administrators. In some of our deployments, they share the role. One to two is all that's required because of the reporting and the analytics. It's pretty simple.

Unfortunately, we have customers that still have multiple tools. We try to get the customers to consolidate. In terms of use, we are launching some of the latest innovations and partnerships from GuardiCore to our clients. 

We have clients that are still using GuardiCore and other tools because they have invested heavily in those areas. We would like to see them consolidate because GuardiCore does a lot of what these other tools offer. That's our challenge. Our challenge to customers is to improve their efficiency and lower costs.

Within the last 30 days, GuardiCore has released some increased functionality and partnerships with some leading manufacturers that we are now pushing to engage more clients. It is still slow, primarily because of the existing investments. 

What we notice is that for many clients, security is their smallest focus. That's the problem. The security group has the smallest budget in IT and that's our challenge.

Around four people are working with the solution daily in our organization.

I rate Akamai Guardicore Segmentation a nine out of ten for scalability.

It is definitely easy to scale. It is easy enough to add agents, then you can use automated deployment features to ingest spreadsheets of agents.

From our perspective, it scales well. If we just add agents locally, then the cloud service picks them all up through the aggregators.

We are adding more agents daily, but that is partly because the solution has been successful so far. Therefore, we are planning to increase the scale and scale it up a bit.

There are about two to four people actively working on the system and using it, mostly just my immediate manager and me. There are three or four other people who access it occasionally. In terms of users who are affected by it, there are hundreds, if not thousands.

The security team has an active interest in it. They provide the funding, but they have user accounts. They generally leave it to us to configure. They may become more active for certain things and parts. They are more interested in encouraging different departments to use the product, then hand it over to them to actually manage it.

We have 150 servers so far and are increasing that to about 230. Then, the security team is talking about adding in user desktops on the universities side. Depending on what they add, there are hundreds, if not thousands more. So, we are definitely increasing usage by a lot.

The product is scalable. It offers containers, and therefore, it's scalable. I've never had an issue.

We have implemented Guardicore on several servers without any problems. We have implemented it on our newer servers, as well, and didn't have any trouble. Scalability-wise, we haven't had any kind of difficulty.

Depending on the growth of our company, our usage will expand in the future.

We have 1,200 employees but the solution does not affect the users directly. Rather, it affects the company. The important part is to keep the data center working and to make sure that it does not go down for even a minute. With this in mind, when I talk about scalability, I'm not talking about the number of users.

Because we are using SaaS, it is very easy to upgrade or install more agents. Once you have the infrastructure, e.g., we have one server that communicates locally with the agents, then you use it to communicate to the cloud. Once you have that infrastructure, you can grow very rapidly.

We have over 500 agents. We are covering four payment applications, where we have been doing micro-segmentation. That has taken us about six months.

It has results the next day after you install the agents, because now the agents report to the cloud. You have visibility right away of what is going on in your system that next day after you installed the agent. For example, if you installed 100 agents today, then tomorrow they will start reporting to the cloud. Also, you would have visibility regarding what is going on in those machines: Where are they communicating? What processes are being communicated? What are the available reports?

I have two people who are responsible for making the segmentation rules. With those two people, we have been able to secure 500 systems in six months time.

It is a little too early for me to tell that. Currently, I am the only one using this solution. We probably don't have any plans to increase its usage.

I think it is an amazing product in terms of scalability.  

The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources.
