Sachin Maurya

Software Engineer at Velotio Technologies

The documentation is good, but they could improve in that area. Someone who is new to networking might feel daunted going through all those detailed materials. They could have high-level documentation first, and if anyone wants to deep dive into any areas, they can read more on that. They could segregate the information in the documentation. Documentation is one of the major areas for improvement. Apart from that, the product is quite good. I love it, and everything is good. The AI features are okay. They are still researching and improving in that area, but the guardrails are good, and everything works as expected for now. However, I think it would be good if they improve in that area. I would not say it is 100% correct. Sometimes it does hallucinate, but overall it is good.

In my experience, the best features Isovalent offers are mostly found in its products, particularly Cilium, which we have been using for around three years and is a very good feature on Isovalent's side. What stands out for me about Cilium is that it offers observability, security, and integration with Kubernetes. I think all of them are significant advantages. Isovalent has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that after moving to Isovalent products, we trust the tools we chose for the community, particularly the powerful tools such as Cilium. We are very confident in how our network and network tools are performing. The easy management provided by Hubble view in Cilium is excellent for quickly checking if we miss some points. The configuration is very clear and is supported by many third-party services, and that is very good for us.

There is a big opportunity to explore Isovalent, and I have really had a very great experience with it. Our company is not able to use Isovalent because they are using SharePoint Power Private Limited. I don't think they will use it. I find Isovalent easy to use, so I would rate it eight or nine. Isovalent is totally free. I would definitely give the advice to use Isovalent because it is easy to use and easy to set up all the networking environments and the other things. I do not have any additional thoughts about Isovalent at this time.
