Featured Reviews

Uday Varma - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers granular control and ease of policy creation with features like telemetry and micro-segmentation but incident tagging is missing
Our customers use the solution for micro-segmentation within the data center or cloud environments. One customer uses it for their on-premises infrastructure, deployed at the code level across their massive network. Another customer uses it in a data center to monitor microsegmentation for their 500-node workload. Moreover, Akamai Guardicore Segmentation has helped our customers manage and secure traffic between different applications or workloads. Earlier, they were using VMware NSX-v, which offered good logging for distributed services on an analytical level. However, Akamai Guardicore Segmentation provides them with better overall visibility and granular control over-segmentation, even for inter-application and inter-routing traffic.

Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience
A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"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."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"Guardicore makes its own rule set automatically, so we can work fast when creating a rule set."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"The solution is fast."
"This is a stable product and we plan to continue using it in the future."
"I use McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for internet security, file security, and ensuring I don't have viruses on my system."
"The technical support is very good."
"The product offers good compatibility with other solutions and has good integration potential."
"I like real-time mobile protection. It's quite easy to use and efficient."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is easy to use."
"It provides helpful popups."
 

Cons

"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"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."
"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."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Overall, the solution could be better priced."
"The cost could be improved."
"I have found the solution to be scalable. However, it could improve."
"I found that the interface is a little bit confusing. It's over-stuffed. If a new IT person comes in, it is difficult to understand how the McAfee console works."
"We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses."
"The performance of this product could be improved."
"I would like to see monthly reports of the usage."
"SentinelOne provides a cloud solution that McAfee MOVE AntiVirus should as well. When all other vendors come out with new features they are implemented by all the other vendors within a few months. However, this is not the case with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. They should update their features more often to be more competitive with the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"This is not a cheap solution but you have to consider the bigger picture, which is what it is giving you."
"GuardiCore has made some new changes to the license now. We've seen monthly and annual licenses based on a subscription. We have a few clients that pay anywhere from $25,000 a year."
"The price is the same as other products in the market. There's no price argument to choose one or the other product, it will cost the customer approximately the same."
"Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is expensive."
"Guardicore Centra provides better value for money than NSX, was the other solution that we looked at, which was too expensive for what it does."
"The customer would complain about the cost."
"The pricing is too high."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"We have purchased a three-year license to use the solution and the price is reasonable."
"It could be cheaper, but anybody would like a good product at a lesser price."
"The license for McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is based on the number of users."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus' licensing costs are yearly."
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing charges of the product on a yearly basis. The product is not way too expensive"
"The licensing fees are billed on an annual basis."
