Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

Cons

"I would rate their customer service as four out of ten."
"It is quite expensive, to be honest, but it is really useful, as we see positive results."
