What do you like best about the product?

Calico Cloud addressed various security challenges for container platform, it extended l7 network policy capabilities with powerful & fleaxible configuration options and by default support zero trust security model. This helps us to be able to manage calico configurations via both gitops platform & application ci/cd processes in a secure way to meet requirements from vairous teams without many operation overheads. This helps boost the team efficiency.

It's a painless implementation process and easy quick to setup. Calico Cloud offers full package of container security features, e.g. runtime security, intrution detections, in-cluseter waf, observability, etc. more than just advanced network policy.

Tigera support is knowledgable and the provided training videos help quickly get familiar with its observability tooling and troubleshooting processes.

What do you dislike about the product?

alerting & 3-rd party integrations hopefully can be improved.
network policy constructions user experience requires lots of domain knowledge, this might be difficult for beginners.
wireguard & l7 logging configs conflicts happened before, hopefully it will be resolved in the near future.
the dashboard has lots of information and might be confusing when you use it at the begining, it's a bit complex to use it and understand the end to end troubleshooting process

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

protect N-S, W-E traffic and adding observabilities and container runtime protections
