Security at its finest
What do you like best about the product?
It is an easy and customizable way to use cloud based orchestration Kubernetes and to hae workflow editors to scale up, scale out, and focus on devsecops, Ioc's and malicious threat actors. This is thought of and done in the perspective of devsecops and cloud practitioners.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - it is easy to use and not very hard to get value in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Kubernetes in the form of devsecops and container runtime. Also cloud security posture management has been an important area.

Great solution for managing network policy and image scanning
What do you like best about the product?
The network policy recommendations are a great feature and provide an excellent starting point for policy generation. The network observability tool combined with the Kibana logs provides full visibility into what is happening with respect to allowed and denied traffic throughout the cluster. Calico Cloud makes managing network policy vastly easier. Tigera support is great; they have been very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is based on core counts, making it rather expensive both for compute-heavy clusters and for clusters that have a large number of smaller nodes. Registry scanning could be better integrated into the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calico Cloud enables us to easily view and manage network policy, and provides container image scanning within our clusters.
A very good CNI solution, with some shortcomings
What do you like best about the product?
Calico Cloud is a great CNI solution, versatile regarding the supported protocols it will easily scale in most cloud, hybrid, and on-prem deployments. The BGP backend makes it easier to manage routes at scale, and it can integrate with BGP-only layer 3 datacenter fabrics as well.
Installation is quick, and thanks to a well-documented set of CRD resources, configuration is also pretty straightforward.
Calico also bundles the whole Tigera security/observability suite, which comes in handy to write more complex network policies which extend to hosts. The built-in manager web UI is also useful to quickly visualise what policies are deployed in any environment.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some shortcomings with some of the enterprise features, some of them suffer from small bugs which still have not been solved. Although support is quick to react, it can take a long time to obtain a proper bug fix in a next release.
The current network policy implementation, although solid, also suffers from limitations in terms of the selectors, which can lead to some rather complex workarounds. Also, the manager web UI is very limited and will not help a lot when troubleshooting denied flows. Most of the time, learning to use Kibana which is part of the installation and writing KQL queries will be more useful.
Although installation is easy, uninstalling Calico can be a bit difficult as the Tigera operator does not clean the installed resources. You will have to locate the remnants yourself, and delete them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calico Cloud enables us to extend Kubernetes network policies, and unify the network security operations under a single Kubernetes-based declarative worflow. It provides a way to author, deploy, manage, and monitor security policies in any Kubernetes cluster.
Improvement can be done
What do you like best about the product?
The availability and speed of the saas solution
What do you dislike about the product?
manual created yaml files can not be imported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud calico can handle too many policies which we are having of our kubernetes clusters
Great Product

Some of the dashboards and functionality are a little complicated until you understand it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it resolves security issues and it reports on them, which in turn is a massive help to us..
Great Product and a phenomenal company to work with
What do you like best about the product?
Calico gives us essential visibility and control of network flow within our Kubenetes environment. It simplifies what would be an extremely complex management activities.
They have regulalry introduced new features and helped us leverage them.
Their support team are one of the best I have dealt with, regulalry going above and beyond to ensure the best outcome for our organisation.

What do you dislike about the product?
We havent had any issues or problems to mention.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We implemented Calico to improve netwrok segmentation and viaibility in our Kubernetes environment. More recently we have started leveraging container integrity and vulnerability assessment capabailities.
Well engineered product backed by some awesome folks
What do you like best about the product?
The product is solid and does what it says it does, which is not something you always see. More importantly though, the team backing the product is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not experienced anything while working with calico that I could qualify as a dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to provide a multi tenented network.
Calico Cloud: Network Policies, Security, and Support
What do you like best about the product?
Calico Cloud's network policies have enhanced the level of security. We've been able to create and enforce security measures effectively, especially in a shared cluster environment. This also helped us adopt a zero-trust security approach.
Calico Cloud Dashboard has given us insights into the network flow and along with the inbuild Kibana dashboard we were able to troubleshoot issues effectively.
Furthermore, I must highlight the support engineers for their expertise. Whenever we faced challenges or had questions, the support team was prompt and really helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
There was a steep learning curve while onboarding Calico Cloud and understanding all the features, especially security capabilities can feel overwhelming at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calico Cloud addressed the issue of isolating tenants in shared clusters and implement a zero-trust network model and gain deep visual insight into the network and flow logs.
Comprehensive cloud security
What do you like best about the product?
Calico helps us roll up multiple security features in a single place through a single installer. This makes administration and deployment significantly more straightforward compared to other solutions on the market both in terms of cost and use. Being a kubernetes native tool, it also provides us with peace of mind that we are directly protecting our services rather than building perimeter security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Calico would really benefit from an uninstaller that does not leave artifacts behind. Also, having native integration with cloud installers such as helm would go a long way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calico provides us with the tools required for us meet our SOC2 compliance requirements for network security. It also helps our Ops team as a great observability platform.
Stellar Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Network segmentation, scalability and unmatched security, which provides security policies for every workload, ensuring that only authorized traffic flows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up can be complex, especially for users new to the platform or lack experience with Kubernetes. It also utilizes additional system resources compared to more straightforward network security solutions. In some instances, this increased resource consumption may impact the overall performance
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Segmenting network traffic is crucial for maintaining security and isolating workloads. Calico Enterprise provides advanced network segmentation capabilities, enabling organizations to create microsegments and apply specific policies to each segment. This level of granular control ensures that sensitive workloads remain isolated and protected.
