Overview

Product Information on Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform?

Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform is a software designed to provide security and control within enterprise networks by segmenting application workloads and data center environments. The software uses microsegmentation to isolate applications, monitor traffic flows, and apply granular security policies to minimize lateral movement of threats. It enables visibility into network assets and supports policy creation without altering underlying infrastructure. The software helps organizations address the business problem of internal threat containment, compliance enforcement, and reducing attack surfaces by creating secure zones that limit unauthorized access and movement within the network.

Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform Pricing

Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform software uses a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured per endpoint or workload, and may vary based on deployment size, feature sets, and support requirements

Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

I very much enjoy the ability to see traffic so granularly. Being able to effectively filter to see what traffic needs to be reviewed before enforcing.

Like

I like the overall wealth of information the product provides to our team as far as networking goes.

Like

The management dashboard is of great help.

Dislike

1. Sometimes, especially under a decent load, system tasks take a while to complete. Normally this is not an issue, but it can become worrisome when trying to fix an issue in production. 2. Coming from the old platform, the ability to group assets was much easier with workload groups. Now that it has changed to segments, it is a little hard to navigate. 3. Offboarding of the agents in comparison to the old platform is a little confusing. It would be worth having more documentation on the platform.

Dislike

The product can seen a bit overwhelming due to the sheer amount of information displayed to the user when navigating through the menus. Verbage can also be hard to understand until you learn it.

Dislike

That the agent doesn't run on older OS versions.
