“An amazing product to rapidly secure the network”

5.0
Sep 16, 2025
Product is very simple to use and provides immediate security. The ability to do firewall related functions via tagging and not needing to know IP addresses (it manages that) makes the time to move much quicker. It significantly helps dealing with incidents and allows much easier recovery.

“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.

Zero Trust Segmentation Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability to tag workloads (servers / desktops) and create rules based off function rather than needing to remember / deal with IP address. Helps reduce configuration creep. Within 1-3 days you can very easily and quickly remove lateral movement and create a quick baseline security foundation and only gets better with time.

Like

Visualisation of traffic flows is outstanding

Like

Zero trust segmentation is transformative security approach that enforces strict access controls and minimizes lateral movement and isolates critical assests across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Integrated automation and machine learning contionusly optimize segmentation boundariee accelerates incident response and enhanced security.

Dislike

It's hard to pick a dislike in that I would need to nit pick. Network map - this is amazing - however, it could be improved if it maintained your placement of nodes between new searches etc. You can unpair the workload which removes the license, it would be nice if you could also trigger an uninstall remotely (for desktop workloads). Being able to manage non-domain networks more easily. This can make some rules difficult to apply when a non-domain CCTV network is present.

Dislike

Cost and complexity

Dislike

Cost and complexity and policy maintenance.

    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.
