My advice for those looking into using Calico Cloud is to read the documentation, understand if their use case fits what Calico Cloud offers, and to start small before expanding. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.
The impact of Calico Cloud is that we were able to achieve a more secure understanding of our security posture. We could access our containers, knowing full well that all policies set were followed through. We could see visually how everything was interconnected. That visual representation Calico Cloud has embedded into their design system is wonderful, and it has impacted our business positively. Having access to vulnerabilities is essential. For example, when the Log4j issue occurred in December 2021, I joined the company in 2022. The company had a lot of internal and external facing applications that needed to be scanned by Calico Cloud. We ensured each application's vulnerabilities were addressed by reaching out to developers to upgrade Java versions. By scanning, we identified vulnerabilities, and we communicated with developers to fix urgent issues, demonstrating how Calico Cloud provided critical insights. Calico Cloud helps me meet compliance requirements. You set your cloud security posture, and when you scan and see that it is failing, it indicates areas where Calico Cloud delivers security effectively. My advice to others looking into using Calico Cloud is this: if it fits your needs, go for it without hesitation. Security is a priority in today's world, especially as industries scale globally. I found the interview to be smooth and thorough, allowing exploration of my knowledge regarding Calico Cloud. Although it took longer than the stated time, the process was engaging. I would be glad if you could summarize my review in a short poem or haiku. My overall review rating for Calico Cloud is 8 out of 10.
My advice to others looking into using Calico Cloud is that it is worth the fee. I give Calico Cloud a rating of seven because there are places for improvement, as I recommended. For what they do, they do it well, especially with zero-trust micro-segmentation and their security plus observability tools. They may not have all the features that their competitor Cilium has, and they are doing a portion of what Cilium does and a portion of what Istio does. For what they do, they do it well, and that is why I give them a seven.
