I like the capabilities for scanning the spectrums in portions instead of filling the whole screen
Wireless scanning, mapping, and troubleshooting. Spectrum XT continues to help with interference issues in the factory environment. Having multiple systems factory/IR/RF/Microwave and LMR is challenging to keep everything working together I've been able to diagnose trouble areas in the factory…

Securing cloud-native AI workloads has improved observability and reduced latency for partners
I think they need to continue developing their load balancing and possibly even a more efficient DNS system. User interfaces are dependent on each customer, whether they're going to use something like Grafana or, in our case at Cisco, we will be using Splunk. The observability parts within Timescape are fine, and I am sure they will improve over time. Governance and security depend on the approach each customer will take to deploying the systems. You can do the minimums or really dive into observability and governance over any of the ecosystems. This is an individual journey, and Isovalent makes it easier. Before Isovalent, we struggled with just simple pod observability with products like Kalisti that sat on the side of the sidecar. Adding all these products added latency, so we tuned the environment as quickly as possible to be as efficient as possible, especially if you're using cloud resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can determine precise placement of APs to satisfy customers’ needs for data, voice, or location."
"If you're having multiple issues, I'd recommend this to people, and in the long run, it's worth the cost not having to wait for a vendor to make it out during an outage or intermittent time of issues."
"I think two of the products that we use in the suite are really, really, really solid."
"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that after moving to Isovalent products, we trust the tools we chose for the community, particularly the powerful tools such as Cilium."
"Isovalent is a quite good company, and I love their products."
"Using Isovalent's Cilium, I have seen that it will be really helpful for the design and implementation teams who are actually building this cluster and providing it to the end users."
"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization because my clients really appreciate this solution."
"We have noticed reduced incidents as a specific outcome that shows how things improved."
"Isovalent has impacted my organization positively as we are currently moving to Kubernetes and trying to add Cilium to manage networking."
"Learning about Isovalent changed the way I approach cloud security in my day-to-day work."
"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization by helping improve the security and visibility."
 

Cons

"On the version I use, there are some bugs that are probably resolved in the latest version."
"Connections from the antenna to the main unit are not efficient to connect and disconnect. Also, not thought out for placement of the cable between the unit and antenna to not catch the things disconnecting it during use."
"Not being able to accurately predict interference and then engineer or react accordingly does cost us money."
"I think Isovalent can be improved by adding more labs."
"Additionally, the interface is very important to me because the user does not have the ability to see how Isovalent is working."
"I think they need to continue developing their load balancing and possibly even a more efficient DNS system."
"The only feedback I have about Isovalent is probably to lean on more documentation from the resource perspective, which is amazing."
"I have not seen a return on investment from my experience with Isovalent, so I do not have any comments on that."
"Sometimes I feel the costing is a bit high, on the higher side."
"I experienced some Hubble problems which were related to the huge internal traffic, which was somehow causing Hubble to hang and required a restart of Hubble."
