Provides clear visibility of communications between assets without needing additional sensors or firewalls but the support could be better
I like the visibility of the communication, so that we really see which communications the assets have to the other assets. We don’t need a further sensor or firewall to see the traffic to these devices. That’s the main reason. And Guardicore makes its own rule set automatically, so we can work fast when creating a rule set. We don’t have a long phase of monitoring or whatever, so we can go straight to rules where we drop unwanted data traffic. We don’t do micro-segmentation for each asset. We work with the ring-fencing function, and we have really good visibility on the dashboard with the rings. We can see which asset is in which segment, zone, or ring. That’s the main thing, that we can see this really easily. We can also give this view not only to the administrator of the Guardicore components but also to the application owner, so they can see where their application is placed in the ring-fencing and what communication is there. This makes incident management easier because we get incidents in a more authenticated way from the application owner. That’s also a big benefit from the visibility of the Guardicore solution. In the firewall, only the administrator has a deep look into the architecture, the logs, and the segmentation. In the Guardicore solution, we can give more visibility to the application owner on their own application. This makes it easier to manage incidents and the overall management of the application and network. The application owner has a view of the actions happening on the network with their assets or applications.

Provides good customer service and support and real-time threat intelligence and adaptive capabilities
With antivirus products, it depends on the features available. Does it protect the hypervisor and the Hyper-V VMs? Do we need to install agents in the VMs, or will the entire solution manage the VMs itself? Depending on that, we configure it and even help the customer accordingly. Moreover, real-time threat intelligence and adaptive capabilities benefit our organization. For example, if someone is trying to access our server with stolen credentials. So, as far as the sign-in logging is enabled and analyzed by the threat intelligence, it will identify that. It will recognize the pattern of the requests. So, it may try multiple times within a specific timeframe. It can discern the behavior of the user request and create an alert indicating there is a possibility of a credential test and generate an alert. The system can identify the pattern. It identifies a pattern of a person, the request, where it's coming from, and what location. Is it a blocked IP address if the request is coming from there? Or is it a suspected IP address range the request is coming from? The sign-in request is just one example. There can be any other kind of request. So, there may be many patterns that it will identify, assess, and decide on whether it is a critical, medium, or low critical event. Based on that, the event management by the threat intelligence is automated. The human is not involved there. The engine itself makes those decisions by assessing the data, the pattern, the behavior, the location, and all those parameters.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"That is primarily because I've seen increased rules. It's kind of caught us a little off guard. With GuardiCore, I have had to deal with their technical support and engineering team in Israel. They are amazing. They are very quick to adapt."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The solution works well for endpoint security."
"The good part of this solution is that it protects the systems from malware etc. It also has a good user interface."
"The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
"The protection on offer is very fast."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"The solution works in the background."
"Protects the system from crashing."
 

Cons

"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"The long-term management of the security policies could be improved with some kind of automation platform, something like Chef or Puppet or Ansible, to help you manage the policies after day-one... to then manage the policies and changes to those policies, going forward, through some type of automation process is not turning out to be really easy."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"I found that the interface is a little bit confusing. It's over-stuffed. If a new IT person comes in, it is difficult to understand how the McAfee console works."
"I would like to see improvements made to make it more secure."
"The solution needs to be more secure."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus could improve by consolidating the dashboard of all the endpoints and proving real-time alerts."
"It would be very helpful if a significant reduction in overhead could be brought about."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The product must use AI to detect and block unwanted viruses automatically."
"The threat protection could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The customer would complain about the cost."
"The price is the same as other products in the market. There's no price argument to choose one or the other product, it will cost the customer approximately the same."
"This is not a cheap solution but you have to consider the bigger picture, which is what it is giving you."
"The solution is reasonably priced and I would rate it a six out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"GuardiCore has made some new changes to the license now. We've seen monthly and annual licenses based on a subscription. We have a few clients that pay anywhere from $25,000 a year."
"Guardicore Centra provides better value for money than NSX, was the other solution that we looked at, which was too expensive for what it does."
"The pricing is too high."
"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"The license fees are reasonable. It is a yearly licensing fee."
"The subscription for the solution is annually or every three years."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus' licensing costs are yearly."
"The licensing depends on the number of devices secured by this product."
"The licensing fees are billed on an annual basis."
"We have purchased a three-year license to use the solution and the price is reasonable."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing charges of the product on a yearly basis. The product is not way too expensive"
"There is a yearly subscription cost for this solution."
