Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."
"The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."
"The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have."
"The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."
"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
"We just got done with major audits. Tufin was able to provide information to give back to people, and say, "Hey, this is what I need to do, and what we're doing.""
"A customer is able to submit a request for access and Tufin will automatically analyze the system to find out where the rule needs to go, and then design the rule for you."
"We use this product to sharpen our change cycle. A request used to take quite a while as we did manual assessments. A lot of that is now done through SecureTrack."
"The visibility is huge. In order to figure out what was going on previously, we would have to pull stuff out of firewalls and put them in spreadsheets, then do sorts. Now, it's all right there in Tufin. We can write reports to look for what we need, ad hoc searches to find object groups, and know which firewalls are on. This was almost impossible to do previously."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"In our current environment, the most valuable feature from Tufin is their Network Map."
"The reports that this solution provides are very useful."
"The most valuable function is the SecureChange where it is able to automate everything from the validation of the rules to the pushing of the rules."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience."
"They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution."
"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."
"This solution would benefit from better reporting functionality with graphing so that reports can be presented to management."
"At least in our environment, the dynamic learning of the topology needs improvement."
"The initial setup can be tough."
"They've got such a large number of APIs, and it is so easy to use their APIs. Effectively, they allow us to use it with anything. The only way to improve it more is by offering support for implementing their APIs into certain hardware or software that we might use. They can provide support for implementing APIs."
"We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them."
"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."
"In the next release I would like to see better migration in the Cloud because that will allow more visibility in the network."
"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved."
