"Strengthening Zero Trus with Workload Visibility and Microsegmentation"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Illumio?

What I like best about Illumio is its ability to provide clear visibility into workload communications and enable granular microsegmentation without relying heavily on traditional network boundaries. The label-based policy model makes it easier to manage segmentation across complex hybrid environments, while providing strong control over east-west traffic and reducing lateral movement risk.

What do you dislike about Illumio?

One area that could be improved is the workload management experience. For example, the Workloads page does not make it easy to search for or work with multiple specific workloads at the same time, which can be inconvenient when managing a large environment.

Additionally, reporting and bulk operational tasks could be more flexible, especially for larger deployments. More advanced filtering, easier bulk actions, and better customization of dashboards and reports would improve the overall day-to-day operational experience.

What problems is Illumio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Illumio helps address the challenge of controlling east-west traffic and reducing lateral movement across a complex hybrid environment. It provides visibility into workload-to-workload communication and allows us to apply granular segmentation policies based on labels rather than network boundaries. This helps strengthen our Zero Trust approach, reduce exposure to risky or unnecessary traffic, and provide better control during security incidents without requiring major changes to the underlying network architecture.
