"Centripetal - A key security partner for us."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Centripetal CleanINTERNET ®?

We have been using Centripetal for several years now and they have been a great partner. The amount of threats that are blocked by default is comforting but more importantly, the continuous, automated blocking of new threats gives us more piece of mind. We are too small to have our own SOC and many of the other outsourced SOC providers are simply out of our range. I feel that Centripetal provides a good medium solution. We have turned on automatic blocking of new threats mainly because on the rare occasions that something legitimate does get blocked, support responds in minutes and resolves the issue. In some cases, when a site that we use has been blocked, it was for legitimate reasons and we were able to report that back to the site owner and they were able to resolve an issue before it became larger.

What do you dislike about Centripetal CleanINTERNET ®?

The only feature that Centripetal does not currently have is the ability to auto isolate a specific host. However, most traffic from a potentially troubled host is blocked at the demarc level, so that has not been an issue for us. Centripetal is just one of the layers of protection and it does its job well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Centripetal CleanINTERNET ® solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centripetal provides us with proactive edge security and with their weekly executive reporting, helps our non-technical executive staff see the threats that we are facing in nearly real time. This helps to justify security spend. In a small organization every dollar is important and unfortunately security is one of the areas that is always being looked at since it is not directly driving additional revenue, rather protecting the revenue that is already being realized. Centripetal is a crucial piece of security for us and the reporting is excellent for justification purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
