"I have found VMware NSX to be easy to use."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and user interface."
"From a distributed firewall perspective, it's a solid solution."
"The microsegmentation is great, and the security team thinks it is great."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"The solution is robust as it covers everything we want to do and is stable, so we're happy enough with it. We have had no problems so far. Everything is great."
"One significant advantage of VMware NSX is the ability to provide advanced security at the micro-level, focusing on securing applications and workloads rather than just the network structure or virtualization-based network security."
"VMware NSX is a very good solution. It's also a scalable solution."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."

"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"The training costs a minimum of $3,000, which is expensive and should be reduced."
"In the future, the solution should be compliant with internet NIC."
"If you're worried that NSX is too complex, I would tell you to take another look. If you compare NSX to a similar solution you might find it to be a bit more complex. Usually, the guy that comes in to implement NSX isn't the network guy and will lack the knowledge for the program. He can lack the knowledge for this program and will therefore think it's complex. You need somebody with network experience."
"Some configuration maximums are limiting to the user, especially when it comes to the deployment of very, very large environments."
"VMware NSX should be able to scale for different customers, even the big ones. Its scalability needs improvement. Stability for it should also be improved."
"We would to have a reverse proxy. This would add great value to the solution."
"It still needs to grow. There are still some features that it doesn't do, like it doesn't do multicasting."
"The solution is complex but for the key user, it's not really complex. You just need to learn the standards and mechanics for your specific product."
