Zaid Farooqui - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence
The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources. It does a very good job in correlating and identifying threat actors. Its integration with other products such as HCI, Firewall, and VDI solution for native control and detection also adds significant value.
MagdyRaafat - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced security and streamlined management drive efficient connectivity
Open source is a standard solution where you take a gray box or white box and put the software from your end. You can do programming with Ansible and make the network work in the software-defined mode, providing automation and management capabilities. I am currently working with VMware. It integrates easily with everything and can work with any system. When discussing micro-segmentation, it enhances security, providing more secure data in your data center while allowing for extra layers of security outside your data center. If you have an ACI, there is communication between locations, keeping your data secure in your data center and throughout the path it takes, such as to SD-WAN or the cloud. I work with cloud solutions including AWS, Azure, GCP, and private cloud. My overall rating for VMware NSX is 8.5 out of 10.

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence."
"The tool is a good product in the NDR market. Its valuable features are ease of management and breach of response features. It is an easy-to-learn solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the firewall."
"The solution is easy to use and is good for management control."
"One of the big improvements between the NSX-V and NSX-T is that in NSX-T you are no longer dependent on V-Center anymore."
"It has reduced the number of people on the network team along with the system engineer involved in the security process. So, it is valuable."
"The installation is straightforward, it took a couple of hours."
"The dashboard is comprehensive and easy to use."
"VMware NSX has the ability to create networks in software."
"NSX extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3, covering the vRO and extending the capability on Layer 3 by decapsulating using a new mechanism. NSX-V was designed to use with VMware products and Success 360, providing more flexibility toward different levels of cloud, containers, and components. NSX-T gives you the ability to stretch your network across different view locations. If you have multiple sites, you can connect them using NSX-T."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve its dashboard. Integration with existing systems has been challenging. When comparing it with Trend Micro, which offers an all-in-one NDR solution, the tool's integration process can be difficult."
"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
"Technical support could be improved, and I rate them a seven. The support team has fewer cybersecurity resources capable of managing Cyber Command compared to other solutions."
"Going through and getting more features sets from the routing protocols is definitely necessary for the future."
"The support from VMware NSX could improve."
"Our technical team is always looking for the solutions that they work with to offer more convenient integrations."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Just being more knowledgeable about the different functions."
"The setup is complex and should be made easier."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"The vendor should integrate a basic load balancer in future versions"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm unable to give information on the pricing or licensing cost of VMware NSX because I've never been someone who looks into the economic part of any security or virtualization solutions. That's handled by an entirely different team, and I don't even have the slightest idea about the costs associated with the solution, though I've heard pricing for VMware NSX is on the higher side."
"The solution is free and the price for the support can be expensive."
"All the institutions have to pay monthly for the services in the cloud. They have to pay $30,000 every month for this service every three years."
"The price is pretty high."
"The price of VMware NSX is very good compared to other solutions."
"I would rate the pricing of VMware NSX as seven out of ten"
"The licensing is renewed every three years. The cost for implementation and renovation are a huge portion of that price."
"Our customers have definitely complained about its cost. It's expensive. I'd rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing where ten represents a high price. There are other products out there that are equally expensive."
