SUSE NeuVector Reviews

Our primary use case for the SUSE NeuVector solution is policy management. We use it to make sure that containers are satisfying certain policies from a business standpoint. We also use it for vulnerability scanning of the containers. Another use case that we have is automating features that are around network behavior or the machine learning capability to at least make sure that when the vulnerabilities are shown, they are quickly managed and handled.

I would say that the most valuable feature is the automation of the advanced learning information.

I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline.

In the next release, I'd like to see a new vector introduced for expanding the capability into the cloud as well so that you get cloud capability as well as containing capability. It makes sense to me that these two go hand in hand. The second thing I would say is any integration, individual out of the stack.

I have been using SUSE NeuVector for about six months now.

My impression is that this solution is stable.

My impression is that this solution is scalable. One of the reasons we chose this solution is because of its scalability possibilities.

We have looked into various types of products including some like Synopsis and Aqua. What we have found is that even though SUSE is a standalone product at the price point it came in and the kind of scalability it could achieve, it was a really good value for money and that is what it came down to. The vendors also gave us more integration and better functionality as well.

I would say that the initial setup process is quite easy if you've got the correct solutions running underneath. The initial deployment took around two or three days. The time it takes largely depends on the environment itself and if it's ready.

We have a whole engineering team behind this solution. We have a team of 60 people using and maintaining it.

We implemented it with our in-house team with the help of SUSE's team.

I would definitely say that this solution is worth it. You would definitely see a return on investment depending on your industry. If you're in financial services and similar industries, it would make a lot of sense because your risk and exposure are really high. If you're in retail, it would make a little bit less sense.

When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly. This is because we've got a largely-sponsored appointment internally. Having that in mind, our three-year cost was about 4 million South African rand and this license includes their top-tier support. 4 million South African rand is roughly $200,000.

Our model of deployment for this solution is on-premises.

For people looking into this solution and trying to use it for the first time, I'd say make your life easier by using the SUSE product as well on top of your community scale stack. That makes your integration points a lot easier and smoother. I would also say during your initial setup, make sure that your clusters are already in terms of the capabilities with the version required.

I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this rating is that what they offer is solid, but they could expand their service and add more features just to make more things integrated into an enterprise itself.

Private cloud security (B2B customers)

Boosting cybersecurity

The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities.

The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment.

I have been working with the product for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution's support is complicated and depends on getting the right people. 

The product's deployment is not complicated for us. The tool's deployment depends on the complexity of the project. 

The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. The tool is very powerful, easy to operate, and deploy. It also integrates easily with other security solutions. The product provides many security features which are not available in other solutions. 

My clients use SUSE NeuVector mainly for asset protection on container workloads.

The solution can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud. We typically use Amazon AWS.

The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost.

SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful.

I have been using SUSE NeuVector for a couple of months.

The solution is highly stable. However, we are not in production yet.

I rate the scalability of SUSE NeuVector an eight out of ten.

The scalability of the solution is highly commendable, making it a compelling reason to consider incorporating new features. Its ability to scale efficiently, coupled with its multitude of clusters, reinforces the need for exploring additional functionalities.

Most of our clients are enterprise-level.

I rate the scalability of SUSE NeuVector a nine out of ten.

The support is good.

I rate the support of SUSE NeuVector a nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of SUSE NeuVector is a middle level of difficulty.

For 1,000 clusters it takes some time. For the first couple of clusters to be operational it takes two weeks and to do all the one needed it is approximately two weeks.

We had three engineers working on the deployment of the solution.

The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support.

I rate the price of SUSE NeuVector a nine out of ten.

If you solely prioritize moving container scanning and integration with this solution is truly exceptional. However, even without those specific requirements, it remains an exceptionally high-quality solution offered at a competitive price.

I rate SUSE NeuVector an eight out of ten.

The solution exhibits excellent performance, cost-effectiveness, and support. However, it falls slightly short in terms of features. Therefore, I would marginally reduce my consideration of it due to this aspect.

It's container security.

NeuVector is very integrated with Kubernetes Security, so it scans the infrastructure underneath Kubernetes. It's like "big brother." It traces how applications talk to each other and if there are any vulnerabilities. 

We also used it with our CI/CD pipelines. For example, if the pipeline had any vulnerability, it would give an error and stop the process.

We integrated NeuVector with GitLab.

The UI has a lot of features. In terms of UI, it's very informative. It supports multiple clusters, and it's very powerful. You can get reports on vulnerabilities and stuff like that. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines, so it's very good for compliance. It also supports ISO certification checks.

As a product, it is not easy to set up, although it has a helm chart and manifests for deployment. 

Still, it wasn't easy to implement.

The documentation needs to improve a bit. If they simplify the deployment process and show you how to install it and how to integrate it with other products like GitLab or other tools, it would be more beneficial.

I've been using the solution for a year and a half. 

The solution is very stable. We never had any issues once we had everything set up. There were no bugs or glitches, and it didn't crash or freeze. 

I'd rate the overall stability nine out of ten. 

It is quite scalable as a product. You can scale up scanners. If you have a lot of pods to scan and it supports multiple clusters. I'd rate the ability to scale eight out of ten.

Technical support has been helpful and responsive. They are quite knowledgeable. 

Positive

I am aware of other solutions. They are all very similar in terms of feature offering. However, this product is a bit more complex to set up. 

The solution is not very easy to set up. It's complex. 

The most challenging part was dealing with how to integrate with our pipelines. The documentation doesn't give the full picture, and we had to make custom scripts for it. 

While they were providing predefined templates or predefined scripts for the integration, it didn't work as we would have expected. Therefore, we had to make custom scripts to get around everything.

As the complexity grows, you need to have more trained people to help deploy it.

We had four people handling the deployment and maintenance tasks. 

I'd rate the solution three out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. 

I haven't looked into the pricing. I can't speak to the exact costs. 

While it is a good product, it will not be easy to install. Also, their documentation is not spot-on. You need to get your hands on it before you really understand how it works. We found bugs while testing things out and had to request support. I'm not sure if it was the product or the setup requirements we had. However, we had initial challenges. 

Overall, I'd rate the product seven out of ten. It has good features and lots of potential. 

We use NeuVector with Kubernetes.

We have a Kubernetes environment and we deploy NewVector into the management of Kubernetes.

Currently, we use it for vulnerability management with images and fonts.

We are still exploring the features that are available within the container security platforms.

We are mainly using vulnerability management.

Our work has expanded. We are not only working with Kubernetes. We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines. We are looking for options that would support both.

I would like to see support for scanning IaaS included for container security and VM security.

I have been working with NeuVector for approximately one year.

We use the latest version.

It is pretty stable now. Earlier, we had a few issues, but we are working with the NeuVector team to make sure it works well.

We are satisfied with the technical support.

We have not used any other solution, we just started using NeuVector.

The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward.

Licensing fees are paid yearly.

We are looking into Tenable and comparing it with NeuVector to see what will be beneficial for us in the long term.

We are satisfied with this solution. I would rate NeuVector an eight out of ten.

In my company, I am looking to deploy a container security runtime solution.

The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities. It scans the network from east to west and north to west. The enterprise version of Prisma has the option to import CVEs from different sources, providing more flexibility.

One area for improvement is NeuVector's ability to import CVEs from different sources. Additionally, using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved.

The technical support provided by SUSE in Egypt includes a technical engineer specific for our POC. However, I found that the support in Egypt was not very qualified, and there was a need to upgrade to a higher support layer to solve my issues.

Positive

The initial setup of NeuVector was challenging since I had to deploy it as a node port instead of a cluster IP.

We worked with SUSE's technical engineer for the proof of concept.

I started making a comparison between NeuVector and Prisma Cloud.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I used it to monitor the long-time events.

The solution enhances the organization as it safeguards against various types of malware through anti-malware, which we use once a few days.

The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable.     

The image-scanning features need improvement.

I have been working with SUSE NeuVector for two months.

The solution is not that stable, so I would rate it four out of ten.

The initial setup is easy, and I would rate it seven out of ten because there were some difficulties.It took 30 minutes to deploy the solution. It only required only one person to deploy.

I would rate the solution five out of ten. 

We use SUSE NeuVector as a container security solution.

The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security.

SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning.

I have been using SUSE NeuVector for two to three years.

I haven't experienced any issues with the solution's stability so far.

Three users use the solution in our organization, and we have plans to increase the usage.

I rate SUSE NeuVector a seven out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team. It took one day to deploy SUSE NeuVector.

SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution. You have to pay for the support.

I would recommend SUSE NeuVector to other users.

Overall, I rate SUSE NeuVector ten out of ten.
