Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."It's what we use the CIS Benchmarks for. It's for employing hardening rules and keeping them up to date when things happen on our systems. So it's really configurations and stuff that harden and report back."
"One significant advantage of VMware NSX is the ability to provide advanced security at the micro-level, focusing on securing applications and workloads rather than just the network structure or virtualization-based network security."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the high bandwidth."
"VMware NSX's overlay network is its most valuable feature, as it aligns with any network philosophy and allows for efficient addressing mechanisms. Additionally, the ability to extend the on-premise network into the provider space is beneficial. There are many features provided."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ease of use and its user friendly. For example, it is simple to change the subnet masks."
"Overall, for me, it's a good solution and has been working well."
"The alert features are the most valuable."
"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"Though I haven't been working a lot on VMware NSX, it's good to have. What I like the most about it is that its console is good, and it doesn't take a lot of effort in terms of doing my daily tasks on it or what it's meant for. VMware NSX is still a preferred product in the market."
"This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten."
"We would like better integration with the standards on the market. For example, with OSPF, their integration in NSX is very low. It's not a full OSPF integration. It is too thin from a protocol perspective."
"The setup of the solution could be simplified."
"The setup is complex and should be made easier."
"Since most people are very much used to physical networking, they find it difficult to use VMware NSX in the initial stage."
"It takes time to do the initial setup. It is a bit slow, which is surprising."
"There could be an improvement in regards to security."
"One drawback is this solution requires a lot of other products in the VMware ecosystem to have a full end-to-end operation orchestration monitoring. You have to buy a lot of add-ons to fully utilize the functionality."
"Occasionally the licensing is not very clear. They should make it easier to understand."
