We performed a comparison between KerioControl and Lumu based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The traffic insight page or the administrative portal is really helpful because you can see all the internet usage down to the point where you can see if it's big files or streams. It gives us a good view of what the internet usage is of users who are coupled to an IP address. That way, if there are problems with, for example, a lot of data usage or problems with the connection, we can narrow it down to a single user or server and address the problem. It's really helpful for diagnostic data."
"The reporting needs to be improved. It is hard to get a domain."
"Kerio has improved my organization's security."
"The interface control manager where we can allocate LAN connections to certain VLANs is the most valuable feature. The other feature that's important for us is because obviously everything is remote with MyKerio, as long as the boat has an internet connection, we can log onto the Kerio and get statistics, as well as provide support."
"The solution’s firewall and intrusion detection features are quite good because you can see exactly who is attacking you and who is getting blocked."
"It has helped our organization with testing."
"I did not face any issues with stability while using the tool's trial version."
"Technical support is good. They respond right away."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"I would like to see them develop a bit more flexibility creating VLANs."
"The solution should offer more dashboards."
"We'd like to have more integrations Kerio Operator."
"The Kerio hardware devices look cheap and could be improved. Some of our clients are switching to Sophos because their hardware has a more sleek design."
"I find it a bit costly to pay for the products that I am not using. They need to change their model in such a way that you don't have to pay for the products that you are not using. Its local support and scalability are also not good. I am looking forward to a more scalable product that will be able to grow with time and technology."
"I can no longer renew my subscription directly with GFI but we have to go through third-party resellers like CDW. The first time I did it with CDW. I went to CDW and it was almost like they didn't even know anything. They didn't know what package I was supposed to get. Then after I got it, it took almost five days to get everything working."
"I would like to be able to automatically send email from Kerio Control and have it tell me what my external IPs are, because on one of my lines I have a fixed IP address and on the other it is variable. If there were a permanent way for me to figure out, "Okay, my current external VPN and my firm IP is this," it would help. I need to know the IP address to connect with the VPN and, at the moment, one of the lines sometimes changes its IP address without me knowing it. It's a hassle to figure out what it is."
"There isn't a lot to be improved. It works well as it is, but they can maybe improve the reporting side."
"The reports need improvement."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
