What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

The Illumio ASP technical support is also good.

How was the initial setup?

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

What was our ROI?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a ten out of ten.
