Performs well, multiple deployment methods, and helpful support

The scalability of the solution is highly commendable, making it a compelling reason to consider incorporating new features. Its ability to scale efficiently, coupled with its multitude of clusters, reinforces the need for exploring additional functionalities. Most of our clients are enterprise-level. I rate the scalability of SUSE NeuVector a nine out of ten.

Centralized analytics have strengthened patch visibility and support efficient regulatory reporting

From my experience, I assess the product's analytics capabilities as successful. It helped us significantly with patching and managing the risk of the patching process across all our environments, including network devices with Windows and Unix systems. The product covered several environments and gave us exactly what we needed in our environment. Tenable Security Center's centralized platform helped with risk assessment and management across our IT environments. It covered the patching process, and we previously faced many issues regarding how to patch different environments, how to monitor the patching process, and whether it was successful or not. We obtained good reports showing when patches were closed and the details of each patch, including who executed it and everything related to the patching process until it was closed. This gave us good details about the process which helped us significantly in our reporting and even in audits, whether internal or external. We learned how to close audit issues safely and successfully. We used the dashboards for real-time threat insights and extracted several dashboards from Tenable Security Center. We use these dashboards in our cybersecurity dashboard and committees that we have. These dashboards are part of our committees, especially the cybersecurity committee and other committees that we attend.

Cons

"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."

"Using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved."

"I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."

"The image-scanning features need improvement."

"However, I found that the support in Egypt was not very qualified, and there was a need to upgrade to a higher support layer to solve my issues."

"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."

"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."

More SUSE NeuVector cons

"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"

"Tenable's technical support has declined in quality over time. While they used to be excellent, achieving ratings of eight or nine, they now rate around six or seven due to longer response times and less thorough assistance."

"To be honest, I find SecurityCenter to be lacking in too many ways where my usage of it has been concerned."

"In terms of the configuration of the reports, there's some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."

"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."

"I'm having some issues with that and it's holding things up."

"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."

"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."

SUSE NeuVector Benefits

There are many benefits to implementing NeuVector. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

Deep packet inspection (DPI): NeuVector applies DPI to identify attacks, detect sensitive data, or verify application access to further reduce the attack surface. Only network layer analysis enables security to detect and verify the allowed protocols, helping security teams enforce business policy.

Real-time protection: NeuVector provides inspection, segmentation, and protection of all traffic into and out of a container. This includes container to container traffic, and ingress from external sources to containers, as well as egress from containers to external applications and the internet. The solution aims to protect your applications from internal application level attacks such as DDoS and DNS.

Capture packets for debugging and threat investigation: WIth NeuVector, you can view summary connection data and drill down into actual packet details for each container, as they scale up and down. When a threat is detected, NeuVector is able to automatically capture and display the packet info, making it easy for you to investigate.

Automated security policies: The NeuVector solution allows you to automate the creation of security policies to protect application workloads in production. The solution also enables you to automate and maintain run-time security policies using Kubernetes custom resource definitions (CRDs), and gives you the option to declare an application security policy at any stage in the pipeline.

Compliance: NeuVector offers detection capabilities and security policy enforcement that prevent PHI and PII exposure, exceed requirements, and simplify reporting for PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and more. The solution helps you track critical vulnerabilities and compliance violations so you can quickly identify any that require immediate patching or followup alerts. It also makes it possible for you to manage vulnerability and compliance scan results, with no required integration to external workflow tools.
