The Guardicore experience we received from start to finish was impeccable. Normally after signing on the dotted line, we never hear from the sales team again and everything goes downhill, however this was not the case. The experience was flawless all the way through from start to finish. Now that we are up and running, the post support has also been exceptional - 10/10. Being based in Australia, the team assigned to us was outstanding and in are time zone, even if they did not know the answer to something they would have it by the start off business the next day and a detailed answer as well not some cut and past job from a text book, Read all insights and reviews for Akamai Guardicore Segmentation

Product is very simple to use and provides immediate security.

Azure has been a reliable platform for enterprise workloads, especially as we've migrated on-prem infrastructure and file shares into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Integration with other MS services like Entra ID, Intune, and SharePoint Online has been smooth and well-supported. Pricing transparency and documenting could improve, but overall, Azure provides the scalability, flexibility, and security we need to manage both production and development environments efficiently.Read all insights and reviews for Microsoft Azure

Zero Networks engaged well during an extended proof-of-concept period, and the product delivered the ease of use and flexibility they promised. The product is still maturing, so there are some features that are not yet consistent across all operating systems, but their product management and engineering teams are receptive to ideas and feature requests and delivered improvements both during the PoC and post-deployment.Read all insights and reviews for Zero Networks Segment
