Reduced manual security overhead while file scanning integrates seamlessly into existing workflows
My experience with the procurement process was easy.It was really easy to buy bucket_av through the AWS Marketplace; I encountered no problems. My thoughts about the metering and billing experience are positive, as bucket_av provides their own dashboard for the volumes and data usage, so it is fairly easy to see how much data is going through and the amount of money it costs. My advice to others looking into using bucket_av is that if you want a bolt-on solution to scan S3s, I think it is a perfect solution if you do not want to modify your application code that is already using an S3 bucket. I give this product a rating of five out of five.

Centralized networking has secured multi-cloud data pipelines and improves analytics reliability
VNS3 could improve in terms of ease of setup, as while it is powerful, initial configuration for complex multi-cloud topologies can still feel quite technical and requires strong networking knowledge. Another potential improvement would be to tighten native integration with modern data stack tools; Airflow, dbt, and cloud data warehouses can benefit from more out-of-the-box connectivity templates. Additionally, the user interface and observability experience could be more modern and intuitive, especially for quickly diagnosing network flows without diving deep into logs. A pain point regarding needed improvements is that troubleshooting can still feel quite network engineering heavy. For data teams in my organization, we often want more pipeline-level visibility, such as directly seeing which ETL jobs or data flows are impacted when a tunnel or route changes. I would also appreciate more automation around policy setup, such as having auto-generated secure network templates for common data architectures such as AWS to Snowflake or on-premises to BigQuery, which would significantly reduce setup time.
