Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"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."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"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."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"The solution is stable. We've never had any problems with it."
"One member of staff is enough for deployment and maintenance because Darkforce is AI-driven. It does a lot of things by itself."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"What I like about Darktrace, is that you can quickly identify threats."
"The AI-based pattern is the most valuable feature."
"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 dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"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."
"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."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Darktrace needs to automate the reports of false positives, botnets and everything."
"The price point for the product was too high for what our possible use case could be."
"Darkforce could be improved in the range of the interface; how to interact with the actions it's taking or not taking."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"I think there is some MSSP missing."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
