Illumio Reviews

We use the tool to secure our systems. It helps us to adhere to confidentiality and integrity. 

The solution helps to maintain logs and monitor activities. It also helps us with access management. The tool helps us to secure organizational data that include files. 

I would like to see better data security in the product. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

I would rate the product's stability around eight point five out of ten. 

I would rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. 

The solution's tech support supports us 24/7. 

Positive

The installation takes a couple of days to complete. 

The product's pricing is around 10,000-15,000 USD. The pricing is on a yearly basis. 

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Anyone looking to implement the tool can use it and benefit from it. 

The primary use case is micro-segmentation. It enables network visibility, allowing you to understand how your applications work and the various communication channels they require. Based on this information, you can determine what is allowed and not allowed on your network based on your policy. The use cases also depend on our client’s needs.

Visibility is the most valuable feature of the solution. The product provides visibility into how the applications communicate and how the network protocols are being used. We can also block protocols such as RDP, NetBIOS, and ransomware attacks.

The product’s agents don't work very well in OT environments. It could include environments with manufacturing sensors or other devices where installing the agent may not be possible. We don't have the same visibility and flexibility that we have on our computer or server.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The stability is good. We are using the SaaS option.

I haven’t faced any scalability issues. We can extend the solution to the cloud.

The initial setup is easygoing. There are complexities, but the product is very good. Once we get a good baseline and discover things we do not want, we can start blocking and micro-segmenting.

The engineers do the updates. Once the agent is installed, you can auto-update the tool when a new release is available.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for Illumio is micro-segmentation.

It has helped us to understand internal network visibility and firewall policy implementation. We use the product to simplify firewall policy implementation.

Application Dependency Map.

No. The product has great future-proof vision. The additional features are being added throughout the period to cater different scenarios.

It's stable. It would utilize native firewall as enforcement point, which avoid the potential issue on agent turn-off.

The scalability of the product is good. It supports super-cluster setup for global cluster even.

The Illumio ASP technical support is also good.

Our initial setup was straightforward and the initial deployment completed within a week.

In general, security products are defined as insurance or defense wall - relatively passive. Illumio does more than general security product, it provides East-West traffic flow visibility and auditorial log which benefits on daily operation and periodical auditing. The ROI is higher than expected.

The cost is fair and depends on number of workloads. The scale could be from small to large. This is extremely flexible.

I would rate it a ten out of ten.
