Hillstone CloudHive vs Nutanix Flow Network Security comparison

"CloudHive offers benefits through its solution architecture, providing high reliability and easy integration with third-party systems."

"Overall, I rate CloudHive nine points out of ten. It is better than other segmentation solutions."

"We appreciate the fact that this solution allows us to segregate two virtual machines that are in the same cluster."

"It allows for policies that enable complete visibility and traffic control."

"They also introduced that they develop API first and the rest follows."

"Nutanix Flow is straightforward to install. You only need to select a checkmark that you want to enable Nutanix Flow."

"Nutanix Flow has a lot of data protection features. It's also valuable for operations and management. It's a big solution that works well with different solutions and is suitable for most business cases."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Flow Network Security's most valuable features are user-friendliness, the console, and policy creation."

"The micro-segmentation feature helps to manage network security effectively because it helps the virtual machines that are already on the cluster and the applications inside the cluster itself, protects them and helps them communicate with each other without needing a complex external or internal firewall in this use case."

"While the solution is comprehensive, there could be potential for adding AI features like traffic analysis and attack analysis automation to enhance functionality."

"The most difficult part is the configuration of the initial blueprints."

"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."

"We would like the reporting functionality of this solution to be improved."

"Nutanix Flow's networking features could use some improvement. Also, I don't know if it's currently supporting load balancing or not."

"While the graphical interface of Nutanix Flow Network Security could have been improved, and some of the reporting features needed extra work, the product's features were similar to VMware's NSX. The difference lay more in the presentation and user interface."

"The documentation offered by the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"Last time I used it, it was not handy to see or to analyze traffic logs."

"Nutanix Flow Network Security needs to improve threat hunting, compliance, and policy optimization - these things that security officers would use."

"This model is very accessible to implement."

"The product is available for free use."

"There are different licensing models."

"Flow Network Security is available on a three-year license, with annual renewals of the maintenance fee."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"There is an annual subscription to use this solution. There is a 60-day trial to use the solution, it gives you time to decide if you want to continue using the solution."

"In comparison to other options available in the market, I would rate their pricing as very competitive, probably a two or three out of ten for cost."
