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."
"We like that everything is integrated."
"Some of the key features I find most valuable are the highly graphical user interface, virtualization of networks, and Microsoft application compatibility. It has all the functionality that we require."

"We are happy with the scalability."
"It has reduced the number of people on the network team along with the system engineer involved in the security process. So, it is valuable."

"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution."
"There could be an improvement in regards to security."
"The engineering team has room for improvement. They should have have more of a Knowledge Base about different case studies and should develop more advanced features. These kinds of improvements will change the way things get done."
"The price could be better. The non-enterprise version of the product should also be improved. I would like VMware to expand beyond the network and provide some VLAN technologies and more. I think we have one, but it's more on the distribution side because it's more on the upper side of the network. I'm looking forward to that."
"The technical support could use some improvement."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"Its licensing model could be VM based."
