Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems.""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.""The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources.""The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature.""Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features.""Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."

"The ease of use of the platform is very nice.""PingSafe released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. PingSafe's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue.""My favorite feature is Storyline.""Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features.""PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services.""They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away.""The solution is a good alerting tool.""Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."

Cons
"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.""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.""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.""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.""Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow.""The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see.""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.""Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."

"The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement.""It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better.""They need more experienced support personnel.""PingSafe's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process.""Their search feature could be better.""One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to.""There should be more documentation about the product.""When we get a new finding from PingSafe, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the PingSafe platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."
