We performed a comparison between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and Cisco Secure Network Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."That is primarily because I've seen increased rules. It's kind of caught us a little off guard. With GuardiCore, I have had to deal with their technical support and engineering team in Israel. They are amazing. They are very quick to adapt."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"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 interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
