"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"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."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"It's scalable."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."

"The solution is quite secure."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"The long-term management of the security policies could be improved with some kind of automation platform, something like Chef or Puppet or Ansible, to help you manage the policies after day-one... to then manage the policies and changes to those policies, going forward, through some type of automation process is not turning out to be really easy."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
