CIO at Indus Motor Company
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.
Mahesh Bhadoriya - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Manager at Allianz Cloud Private Limited
Micro segmentation has strengthened zero trust security and isolates production from test environments
The advantages of VMware NSX include its micro-segmentation for internal security at the firewall and VM levels, which is very powerful and helps us comply with complete Zero Trust security models. We are able to achieve this and configure network level virtualization with no dependency on VLANs. Micro-segmentation helps improve our security significantly. We are not totally dependent upon our physical upfront firewall, and it makes sense to configure everything using VMware NSX, leading to multiple improvements in our organization. We moved from traditional networking such as VLANs from the firewall and switches to VMware NSX segmentation. We achieve one firewall per VLAN and can stop lateral movement such as ransomware control. The Zero Trust model is the main functionality and architecture it offers, allowing application isolation, such as having a separate production and test environment. Consistent networking and security policies across different environments have a major and very positive impact on our business operations, allowing us to achieve the security posture we want with compliance and regulations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has 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."
"The solution is robust as it covers everything we want to do and is stable, so we're happy enough with it. We have had no problems so far. Everything is great."
"The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"The product has valuable features for security and network extension."
"The microsegmentation is a good feature, and you can segment details, products, or hardware information."
"The solution offers a very good software-defined network that allows you to create virtual access networks and is very helpful at allowing you to manage security to allow for different workloads."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup process was easy."
"If you understand the benefits of server virtualisation with vSphere (abstraction of the Operating System from the hardware, etc.), you can apply the same logic to network virtualisation."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
"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."
"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."
"The response time of the technical support team could improve. We also sometimes had the feeling that they didn't properly understand the issue."
"Lacks integration with other solutions."
"The routing functionality needs to be improved, as there are lots of bugs in the system."
"The scalability is not perfect."
"Lastline is not a cheap product if compared with their competitors."
"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution, which right now we're handing off to a third-party, which sometimes doubles the cost of the product."
"One aspect that needs improvement is the need for further automation."
"It isn't easy to deploy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing model for VMware NSX is good."
"VMware NSX is a cheaper product compared to its competitor, Cisco."
"The licensing fees are expensive and we pay on a yearly basis."
"There is a license required for this solution, we pay annually."
"Pricing and licensing could be improved as we are a government entity. Lower pricing could always help."
