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.

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

The management dashboard is of great help.

Like

Baseline creation on the workloads. Traffic analysis between the Workloads. Vulnerability Assessment capability in Xshield is pretty good. Scalability of the solution is very good.

Like

Asset management and reporting part is very good in color Token and the admin console is easy to understand the options provided by it. Agent deployment is servers also very easy for the administrators to execute and it supports both windows and Linux servers also

Dislike

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

Dislike

On prem console is not available, so unable to position this to private networks. Also initial setup is quite hard to implement. I'm not saying this as i don't like it, Since Vulnerability assesment is in the console, but vulnerability patching is not in the Xshield console.

Dislike

Even though the admin console looks user friendly, we must be aware of the policy deployment until we understand the policy behavior. you must have to first hands-on the console for some period before implementing the policies to the servers and while implementing the policies first we should implement all the ports of the servers in the learning mode before you execute the block policy.
