“Great concept, hard to get there.”

3.0
Sep 18, 2023
It is a great concept and vision, but very hard to hand over to developers in practice, administration is equivalent to AWS Security Groups. Has a good use case for on-prem network segregation, and low value add for cloud deployments compared to native cloud features.

    Powerful visibility and network segmentation platform that truly enhances SOC collaboration and east-west control

    4.0
    Sep 29, 2025
    Illumio has been a valuable addition to our security program, particularly in strengthening our visibility and control over lateral movement within the environment. I have been working with them for a bit over 8 years now and love how they have evolved the solution for lateral movement control. The platform has consistently delivered actionable insights, and its integration with Splunk has amplified our ability to collaborate effectively with our SOC team for network traffic validation. Overall the deployment has been smooth with an appreciated ease of policy management as well.

    A great tool for network segmentation that can be used in surprising ways!

    Oct 17, 2025
    The implementation of the product was extremely well done by the vendor. We had a tight timeline and they were able to be in meetings with us for 4 hours daily to work through the process allowing us to meet strict deadlines. Implementation team was amazing and was there when we needed them for questions\help. The software provides great data center visibility and isolation for sensitive applications. It can even work with devices that change IP addresses, although some time to update the allow list is obviously needed, though usually just seconds. Post implementation we had a few issues with downtime, but that was remedied by Illumio and we have not had the issue in years. We were an early adopter of the government cloud for illumio so some hiccups were expected.
