Improves network security with micro-segmentation but setup is complex

Product version discussed: 8.6
It extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3

Pros

"NSX extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3, covering the vRO and extending the capability on Layer 3 by decapsulating using a new mechanism. NSX-V was designed to use with VMware products and Success 360, providing more flexibility toward different levels of cloud, containers, and components. NSX-T gives you the ability to stretch your network across different view locations. If you have multiple sites, you can connect them using NSX-T. "

Cons

"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container. "

Works well and allows us to do micro-segmentation and create policy rules

Pros

"The micro-segmentation and the ability to create policy rules are valuable."

Cons

"It's a good product, but the way that it has got so many multiple levels that need to be purchased makes it expensive and cumbersome. "

Allows for seamless micro-segmentation and the support is exceptional

Pros

"From a security standpoint, the customer was able to better secure critical workloads while routing L2/L3 worked normally, giving them more confidence that they would be ready for any potential security incident mitigation or outage (DR)."

Cons

"Traffic flow introspection topology visibility is definitely needed because at the moment, NSX-T lacks in this area."

A solution that offers a prompt and responsive support team to its users

Under-implementation and lag in benchmark support and lacks support for AIX

Pros

"It's what we use the CIS Benchmarks for. It's for employing hardening rules and keeping them up to date when things happen on our systems. So it's really configurations and stuff that harden and report back. "

Cons

"This solution is really unusable from my perspective at this point. Overall, I would rate the solution a one of ten. "
