Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."
"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor HCI is the built-in recovery functionality. The migration is simple to do from other solutions, such as VMware."
"Sangfor HCI's best features are the ability to scale to a bigger size and the roadmap, whereby if they need to replicate their production to disaster recovery, they can do so on the same platform."
"We find the topology feature of Sangfor HCI particularly valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the three nodes and the free hypervisor."
"The extraordinary product quality, unmatched support services, and the third-generation HCI offering are some of the most valuable features of Sangfor HCI."
"Very user-friendly and simple."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor HCI is the native backup of their own VMs, which sets them apart from Nutanix and Dell's VxRail."
"I find the simplicity of Sangfor very valuable. It is easy to configure and user-friendly. The overall user experience as well as the usability of Sangfor is outstanding."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"The login piece needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"There are certain aspects of sizing of the solution that need improvement."
"The interface could be a little bit better."
"Sangfor does not support a SAS configuration, which is something that we would like."
"I would like Sangfor to have a presence on some public cloud offerings, such as Azure or AWS, to build disaster recovery sites."
"We have faced multiple types of challenges with the integration."
"One question that has come up frequently in the last week is whether or not the renewal cost for Sangfor's HCI solution is too high."
"Lacks network support."
"The solution could improve by including backup capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."
"The solution is on-premise which does not have a subscription. However, there is a need to purchase support. The solution is on a perpetual license model. There is not any extra cost other than the standard licensing fees."
"The tool’s pricing is better when compared to VMware or Nutanix. The product’s licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I would say its pricing is between cheap and reasonable and would rate it as three out of five."
"Sangfor HCI - Hyper Converged Infrastructure is a reasonably priced product."
"The solution has a good initial cost but a high renewal cost."
"It is in the middle range as compared to other hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. There is a three-year warranty on the hardware. The license also includes other features. Sangfor has included Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and a built-in firewall with the license. Other top brands, such as VxRail and VMware, require a separate license for such features."
"Sangfor needs to be more aggressive because this is a new market or territory for Sangfor. Nepal is a very price-sensitive market, so Sangfor needs to be a little more aggressive with its pricing. I would rate them 3.75 out of five in terms of the price."
"The price of Sangfor is cheaper than other competing products."
