Illumio Insights Reviews

Illumio Insights plays its own role in enhancing threat visibility. Illumio Insights performs micro-segmentation according to the traffic, determining whether to trust it, allow it, or block it. Micro-segmentation is also a network access control at the network level. It does not understand or read the contents inside packets; it is not a WAF that can block SQL injection or web injection. It operates only at the TCP level and network level.

I use Illumio Insights' real-time analytics for micro-segmentation and zero-trust monitoring, which allows for analysis. However, the product coverage is not very broad, so I have to do my own filtering and analysis, and integration with other tools is necessary. The reporting and analysis features are not ready out of the product itself.

Deployment of Illumio Insights was not difficult, but the difficulty depends on how micro your design is. For Docker containers, it is not quite suitable for that kind of application traffic. For container architectures, it is not quite designed that way. For normal VMs it might be acceptable, but for container architectures, I cannot be as micro-segmented as I want to be.

Illumio Insights is not very well designed for containers, which is one of the drawbacks and weak sides of the product.

I use Illumio Insights' real-time analytics for micro-segmentation, and beyond zero-trust monitoring, I also want to do analysis. However, the product coverage is not very broad, so I have to do my own filtering and analysis, and integration with other tools is necessary. The reporting and analysis are not ready out of the product itself.

Reporting is another area for improvement in this product and is not very sufficient, so I have to further integrate or do it on my own.

Illumio Insights is stable and a mature product. The functionality, such as reporting and analysis, may extend in the roadmap, but it has not in the past. The current functionality is adequate and quite mature, which is how I chose it based on maturity and market share. However, it is not very modern for Kubernetes and containers. If this functionality can extend, that would be a valuable roadmap addition.

Streamline integration with Illumio Insights does not help me much since it does not require too much integration with my other operations.

I have been using Illumio Insights for about five years.

Illumio Insights is stable and a mature product.

The entire project depends on the scale of my farm. With my farm being not too small and not too big, it took more than one year to implement Illumio Insights because it had to be done in phases. It can affect the application traffic and cause issues. I could not implement it from design to implementation in a short time; it takes a while because it really depends on the scale.

The support is reasonable.

About two people participated in the deployment during this year. I was not directly involved; some team members participated in the deployment process for Illumio Insights.

I would rate this review an 8.

I use BareMetal Servers On-Prem.

The hands-on labs were well-designed and provided great insight into real-world breach scenarios. I also really appreciated the chance to connect with other Illumio customers and partners.

Illumio Insights impressed me with its ease of use, clarity, and potential to significantly improve breach containment strategies. It is a powerful tool that adds real value to any security team looking to stay ahead of evolving threats.

I have used the solution for three years.

We use Illuminati.

I have used the solution to improve detection and trend spotting by using dashboards to highlight key areas instead of trying to randomly hunt for them.

The solution has been used with customers, though not directly. However, customers are extremely excited about what more it can uncover when working with cloud native solutions such as VNets and other serverless services.

One of the most valuable features is the ability to map traffic and patterns over multiple hyperscalers, not just AWS.

In some of the views, an IP address appears to be a link, but it doesn't open any new windows or display any new information.

I have been using the solution for 3 months.

I recommend purchasing via BT for the best commercials.

I can't wait to see what the solution can expose for on-premise environments.

I use the product to find unknown and risky traffic in the public cloud.

This solution has contributed to quick detection of risky traffic and offers one-click containment. The Shadow LLM feature is also very helpful.

I find the risky traffic detection feature valuable, as it allows us to identify areas with a weak security posture.

There is room for improvement with more AI-based detection to report traffic abnormalities and potential issues. I also suggest implementing AI-based suggestions and one-click actions to rectify problems.

I have been using the solution for a few months.

The pricing is reasonable. It would be more attractive if more features were added while retaining the current pricing.

I have no other advice.
