Offers micro segmentation capabilities and easy to setup
It's micro-segmentation The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature. There are always areas for improvement. It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud. So that could be improved. In future releases, I would like to see more integration with other…
Yusuf_Hashmi - PeerSpot reviewer
Good discovery and vulnerability features and is easy to use
I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management. It gives me the ability to identify potential weaknesses in my environment quickly. Once those vulnerabilities get identified on the console, it is only a matter of performing those actions. I would rate it nine out of ten.

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."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"I would rate the stability a six out of ten, where one is low and ten is high stability."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"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."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"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."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"The pricing is too high."
"Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is expensive."
"The solution is reasonably priced and I would rate it a six out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"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 customer would complain about the cost."
"The pricing is fair."

Questions from the Community
