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

"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"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 most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"Guardicore makes its own rule set automatically, so we can work fast when creating a rule set."
"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."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"The solution is scalable. There are approximately 30 users using it in my organization."
"The performance is great. The solution doesn't cause any issues while browsing or using any files or anything. It's very strong."
"The solution works in the background."
"The solution is good at protecting my laptop from online threats such as malware."
"This product keeps our organization's devices secure."
"he initial setup is simple."
"I have found the most valuable feature of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus to be the ease of use."
"There are tons of valuable features, including threat protection and antivirus."
 

Cons

"I would rate the stability a six out of ten, where one is low and ten is high stability."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"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."
"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 product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"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."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus’s initial setup was complex."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could improve by being more user-friendly and having more frequent updates."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards better."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus needs to be made more secure, as it is one of the areas where the product lacks."
"The most valuable features of this product are the updated database, the low consumption of resources, and that you can leave it working in the background and it doesn't need any attention."
"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."
"Lacks virtual machines in the reporting."
"I would like to see integration with SharePoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This is not a cheap solution but you have to consider the bigger picture, which is what it is giving you."
"The solution is reasonably priced and I would rate it a six out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is too high."
"The customer would complain about the cost."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing charges of the product on a yearly basis. The product is not way too expensive"
"We are on an annual license for the use of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. The annual maintenance is built into the license."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"There is a yearly subscription for McAfee."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"The license fees are reasonable. It is a yearly licensing fee."
"There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the product, but it is not too much, in my opinion."
"The subscription for the solution is annually or every three years."
