Evaluating Calico Cloud: Secure, Scalable, and Kubernetes-Ready

  • July 16, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Calico Cloud enforces identity-aware microsegmentation and least-privilege access by default. It doesn’t just rely on IPs—workload identity (like Kubernetes labels and service accounts) is used to define policies. This helps achieve zero-trust security across clusters and clouds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite having a clean UI, the underlying concepts (like eBPF, policy tiers, workload identities) can be challenging for teams new to Kubernetes networking and security. Proper onboarding/training is often needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of Fine-Grained Network Security in Kubernetes

> Solution: Calico Cloud allows me to define fine-grained, identity-based network policies that go beyond IP addresses — using labels, namespaces, and service accounts to tightly control traffic between workloads.

Crucial platform for Kubernetes security

  • July 15, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I found impressive was how Calico Cloud made the complex task of securing Kubernetes workloads much easier. I loved the fact that I could define granular network policies and immediately see the impact of the policies with traffic logs. The existing dashboards were very useful in understanding pod communication, potential threats and for visualizing gaps in compliance without having to flip back and forth between tools. This gave us both control and visibility in one spot, which is a rarity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I came upon one hurdle in the beginning of the onboarding — the documentation is quite comprehensive but doesn't take into consideration a reasonable amount of Kubernetes knowledge. I believe there are opportunities to improve straightforward policy creation through visualization or templating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calico Cloud aids us with achieving cloud compliance goals by providing enhanced visibility into our network activity with audit logs and granular policy controls. It enables us to enforce better segmentation, avoid unnecessary communication between services, and provide evidence of compliance for security reviews. To validate our posture during audits, it significantly reduces time spent to prep for an audit and gives our security team comfort in our cloud infrastructure.

What do you like best about the product?
Calico Cloud is a leader in delivering dynamic, zero-trust networking and security for Kubernetes. Its end-to-end integration with leading cloud-native platforms makes it so easy to apply workload-level policy enforcement. I especially like the eBPF-based data plane, which provides high performance and visibility without loss of control. The DNS policy management and real-time threat detection capabilities are intuitive to use, and the UI is clean and developer-friendly. It makes compliance and microsegmentation a lot easier, particularly in multi-cluster and hybrid deployments.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Calico Cloud provides great security features, the learning curve can be steep for teams that are new to Kubernetes networking. The initial setup and policy configurations may seem overwhelming without prior experience. The documentation, though extensive, could use more examples from real-world scenarios and better troubleshooting guidance. Also, some advanced features are closely linked to enterprise licensing, which could restrict accessibility for smaller teams or early-stage projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calico Cloud helps us tackle the important challenge of securing east-west traffic in our Kubernetes clusters by enforcing detailed, identity-based network policies. It removes blind spots in service-to-service communication with eBPF-powered observability and real-time flow logs. This makes it easier to spot misconfigurations and potential threats. Calico also makes it simpler to meet security standards by providing audit-ready policy visibility and DNS policy control. As a result, we have reduced our incident response time, improved workload isolation, and gained more confidence in scaling secure, multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments.
