Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Akamai, Cisco and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"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."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"We use Network Assurance for network visualisation and troubleshooting."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"The most valuable feature is the compliance, whether it's access compliance or the configuration compliance, to make sure that all of our devices are configured as they're supposed to be, to limit access as much possible, to follow least-access guidelines."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
