“Efficient technical support, but lack of organization in implementation.”

May 26, 2026
Regarding the technical aspects, we received excellent service, but the organizational side left something to be desired, particularly the project management for implementation and monitoring, which was quite poor.

    Traffic visibility and control streamline and improve network operations.

    May 27, 2026
    We decided to implement Illumio to comply with security policies in place in Japan, the EU, and other regions. This product allowed us to achieve granular network control while leveraging our existing network environment. Furthermore, its robust network visualization features make it easy to verify communication requirements that were previously determined through interviews. The support is also quite comprehensive, and we are impressed by their proactive approach to updating information. In addition, due to our network configuration, complete communication control could not be achieved through network control between segments. Therefore, we are fully benefiting from the microsegmentation approach advocated by Illumio.

    May 22, 2026
    All aspects of my team's engagement with Illumio were extremely positive and highly productive. Their professional services were top notch and provided my team with the training, best practices, and in-depth knowledge to truly excel during implementation. The platform itself is intuitive, effective, and flexible enough to meet the needs of any organization. It provides robust deny-by-default policy enforcement, granular application segmentation, unparalleled network traffic visualization, and the ability to scale to the number of servers and workloads required by any organization. We work with many vendor technologies and our experience with Illumio was a true partnership that delivered the client excellent results and a deep confidence that the platform delivered their organizational security needs.

Zero Trust Segmentation Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

My favorite feature of the product is the Traffic explorer allowing me to easily see all inbound and outbound traffic, the processes, services, or users initiating the traffic. Also, the ability to write policy and then view how it will impact traffic in draft mode before publishing the updated policy. There are some limitations to this feature related to outbound process-based rules to an IP list, but other than that it works great.

Like

Intuitive interface, detailed logs, and organization with IC tags.

What I like most is the traffic visualization and analysis function. Personally, I found traffic analysis to be a time-consuming and stressful task, but at least with Illumio's management console, it works smoothly. Furthermore, I understand that network visibility and control within the company are essential requirements for future security enhancements. This visualization also allows us to proactively identify communications that truly need control. The ability to control communications without relying on interviews significantly improves communication with users regarding communication requirements. The administrator console is also well-designed, making the main functions easy to use for anyone with network knowledge.

Dislike

My biggest gripe with this solution is that label changes are instantaneous. If you change a label on a workload, you could inadvertently end up blocking required traffic. Making label changes a publishing event is something that has been asked for by myself and other customers I have talked to. So far, there seems to be no movement on adding this feature. Not having this feature can make label changes a very tedious task because you need to make sure to update policy everywhere that workload has access. For example, when we started out, we overused some role labels like R-APP, which is preventing us from getting some policies as granular as we would like. This could all be solved if a label change was publishable so you could change the label and then review traffic in draft mode to see where you need to update policy based on the new label prior to publishing the change.

Dislike

Traffic logs take a long time to appear in the graphical interface, about 20 minutes, which makes incident analysis difficult.

Automated Translation from Portuguese
Dislike

While this is partly due to our company's structure, there are times when we don't have time to check the Illumio management console. It would be helpful to have a support function that can pick out recent characteristic communications in such situations. This could also be considered a system that can be easily operated even with a small team. Furthermore, one issue that cannot be resolved with network knowledge alone is the need to truly understand our own network environment. While this should ideally be grasped through network visualization during initial deployment, there are situations where this requires considerable effort.
