Atul-Yadav

Enterprise Cloud and AI Security Architect at a security firm with 10,001+ employees

Implements real-time threat monitoring and reduces false positives with automated remediation

An area for improvement is in integrating AGentic architectures for retrieval-intensive applications in cloud infrastructures. Ensuring that Airgap Zero Trust Enterprise can work with AI agents and protect applications managed by them would be a significant enhancement. In addition, addressing the issue of the occasional hang could improve the product.

Mohammad Jundiah

Solutions Architect at QDS

Has enabled consistent enforcement of zero-trust policies at the virtual layer

The micro-segmentation feature helps to manage network security effectively because it helps the virtual machines that are already on the cluster and the applications inside the cluster itself. It protects them and helps them communicate with each other without needing a complex external or internal firewall in this use case. Working with the zero-trust security model means never trust but always verify. Every VM, application, and service in your environment must explicitly prove it's allowed to communicate with others. An application would be able to talk to a VM and vice versa. This zero-trust means explicitly proving that they are allowed to talk to each other, with no implicit trust just because they are on the same VLAN, subnet, cluster, or environment. Nutanix Flow brings the zero-trust model natively to the virtual layer inside the Nutanix software itself, the AHV. The AHV software enforces strict communication rules between workloads. Integration between Nutanix Flow and other products natively benefits the infrastructure itself as this is a networking segmentation software coming from Nutanix itself. This provides ultimate compatibility. There is no need for extra firewall VMs such as Palo Alto or third-party switches. Security becomes established at the hypervisor level, which creates a new conglomeration of security segmentation. The network performance analysis that Nutanix Flow Network Security provides is very beneficial and effective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The return on investment has been significant, as Airgap Zero Trust Enterprise has proved to be cost-effective."

"They also introduced that they develop API first and the rest follows."

"Nutanix Flow has a lot of data protection features. It's also valuable for operations and management. It's a big solution that works well with different solutions and is suitable for most business cases."

"The network view was excellent as it allowed us to expand the server view and visualize all connections it made within the environment. This was particularly useful in identifying the path of our data and not just its location within the data center."

"Flow Network Security's most valuable features are user-friendliness, the console, and policy creation."

"Nutanix Flow Network Security is a simple solution that is usable, easy to understand, and easy to deploy."

"We appreciate the fact that this solution allows us to segregate two virtual machines that are in the same cluster."

"It allows for policies that enable complete visibility and traffic control."

"Nutanix Flow is straightforward to install. You only need to select a checkmark that you want to enable Nutanix Flow."

More Nutanix Flow Network Security pros

Cons

"Sometimes, Airgap Zero Trust Enterprise hangs, requiring a process restart."

"I would rate Flow Network Security's stability seven out of ten - it could be improved."

"The most difficult part is the configuration of the initial blueprints."

"Last time I used it, it was not handy to see or to analyze traffic logs."

"We would like the reporting functionality of this solution to be improved."

"While the graphical interface of Nutanix Flow Network Security could have been improved, and some of the reporting features needed extra work, the product's features were similar to VMware's NSX. The difference lay more in the presentation and user interface."

"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."

"The documentation offered by the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"Nutanix Flow Network Security needs to improve threat hunting, compliance, and policy optimization - these things that security officers would use."

"There are different licensing models."

"In comparison to other options available in the market, I would rate their pricing as very competitive, probably a two or three out of ten for cost."
