"Great for Microsegmentation, Significantly reducing the risk of ransomware propagation"

5/5

What do you like best about Illumio?

I find Illumio incredibly useful for implementing microsegmentation, which allows only the necessary network traffic to flow between systems, helping maintain a cleaner and more secure network environment. I like using its label-based inventory model to classify services and servers according to their roles, simplifying policy management by using labels instead of IP addresses. In case of a security incident, I can quickly isolate a server by assigning a specific label with restrictive security policies. I also appreciate how Illumio streamlines policy creation by recommending required ports and communication rules, making it easy to implement policies with just a few clicks. Its maps showing the communications help me know more about the traffic in our services and identify malicious traffic. The segmentation of environments such as DMZ, Production, QA, and Development is another benefit I value, and Illumio has been very easy to install and run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing; the only thing I would like to improve is the time it takes for the telemetry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Illumio for microsegmentation, reducing ransomware risk and improving security. It simplifies policy management with a label-based model, enhances visibility, and streamlines policy creation. It helps identify traffic patterns, enabling quick isolation during incidents and improves understanding of service behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
