Illumio Reviews

We've had to implement the infrastructure. In fact, we are changing over to FortiGate's VMX security solution.

The flexibility of the solution is its most valuable feature.

The ability to operate inside the real technology has been excellent.

The solution's concepts are quite simple.

The interaction we've had with the support team hasn't been ideal. Technical support should be improved.

The solution needs to better integrate before we are able to deploy. It would be helpful if we could deploy the solution even if there are difficulties with integrations or other conflicts.

We started studying the solution about one and a half years ago.

We're currently tuning the stability right now. It's not ideal.

The scalability of the solution is excellent.

We've contacted technical support and are currently working with a professional right now for a couple of days each month. So far, we haven't been too satisfied with the assistance they've provided. I'd rate them as okay. Sometimes we are required to wait for a resolution. It can take a while to get a response. We need a special environment, and it takes them time to help us which can be frustrating.

The initial setup of the solution was complex, but not on the side of the organization. The rollout of the core was difficult and we had to extract it and pass it to a technical team.

Deployment took over a year. We went through a lot of applications. There were 22,000 for our team.

We had the assistance of a consultant during the initial setup and we were satisfied with their level of service.

We have a full partnership with Illumino.

I was in charge of the program to raise the adoption of the technology within our organization. We're using the latest version of the solution and the private cloud deployment model. The version we are using is either version 18 or 19. We are also using some legacy products as well.

I'd recommend that those considering implementing the solution go ahead and try it out. Just use it and don't be afraid to test it out.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a good product with good technical and informational guides. However, the amount of vulnerabilities we've come across is surprising.

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.
