I have used the solution to improve detection and trend spotting by using dashboards to highlight key areas instead of trying to randomly hunt for them.

Revolutionizes Zero Trust with Effortless Micro-Segmentation
What do you like best about the product?
Illumio is among the most impressive technologies I have encountered for supporting a zero trust approach. It greatly simplifies the process of implementing micro-segmentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there is always potential for improvement. My main issue is the inability to stream logs directly to a SIEM, which I find limiting. Aside from that, I consider it to be an excellent product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A solid cybersecurity strategy always begins with visibility, and Illumio delivers the level of visibility needed to make informed decisions about securing communications between workloads.
Effortless Cybersecurity with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I love Illumio for its ease of implementation, which simplifies integrating the system into our network environment. This feature significantly reduces the time and resources needed for setup. Moreover, I appreciate that Illumio efficiently organizes communications in a way that enhances security and essentially eliminates the risk of lateral movement, providing a robust defense against potential cyber-attacks. Additionally, the quality of after-sales support offered by Illumio is commendable, as it ensures continuous assistance and resolution of any issues that may arise post-implementation, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find compatibility with legacy operating systems to be lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Illumio to enhance cybersecurity by microsegmenting our OT Networks, organizing communications securely, and reducing lateral movement risks during attacks.
we LOVE Illumio - one of the best products we've ever seen
What do you like best about the product?
Illumio is the best product we use as a company IT-wise. It literally keeps us safe and is a tremendous troubleshooting tool as well! It is extremely easy to use, and tagging our servers via the import csv utility is a great feature we've come to love.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it works "too" good, but that is why we have it. It locks down traffic like it's supposed to!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Illumio helps us decide which traffic gets in, and which traffic gets out. It helps us lock down our files shares, as well as segment internal traffic to only traffic that we have to have open for business continuity.
Solid platform for microsegmentation, reducing ACL complexity, and ransomware protection
What do you like best about the product?
My org uses Illumio for intra-VLAN protection, ransomware blast radius reduction, and as a more flexible alternative to our mess of ACLs.
It's letting us reduce our ACL sprawl, which was nearing hardware limits (CAM table exhaustion).
Illumio’s policy model and VEN install are baked into our server deployment process now, which I recommend all customers do.
I work in both networking and security, and Illumio bridges both worlds well. I touch it frequently to manage access across all sorts of servers and traffic flows, and I have no complaints about performance or UI.
Great for network or security folks trying to shrink blast radius and ditch legacy ACL messes.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is definitely a learning curve, but once you wrap your head around the policy model, it clicks.
Only gotcha I've seen is that changing a server IP often requires reinstalling the VEN.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely makes network access changes easier than going through our usual ACL deployment process. And I like that server admins can use it to check traffic flows to see if they're having any network issues before talking to me.
Effortless Firewall Rule Management, No Drawbacks Yet
What do you like best about the product?
Easily translate business requirements into host firewall rules, avoiding setting up complicated rules at perimeter firewall
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike regarding Illumio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ransomware protection is effective, and it makes it easy to block unnecessary east-west traffic.
Dashboards have transformed how I spot trends and monitor multi-cloud traffic patterns
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution has been used with customers, though not directly. However, customers are extremely excited about what more it can uncover when working with cloud native solutions such as VNets and other serverless services.
What is most valuable?
One of the most valuable features is the ability to map traffic and patterns over multiple hyperscalers, not just AWS.
What needs improvement?
In some of the views, an IP address appears to be a link, but it doesn't open any new windows or display any new information.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 3 months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I recommend purchasing via BT for the best commercials.
What other advice do I have?
I can't wait to see what the solution can expose for on-premise environments.
Has improved risky traffic detection and enables one-click containment in the public cloud
What is our primary use case?
I use the product to find unknown and risky traffic in the public cloud.
How has it helped my organization?
This solution has contributed to quick detection of risky traffic and offers one-click containment. The Shadow LLM feature is also very helpful.
What is most valuable?
I find the risky traffic detection feature valuable, as it allows us to identify areas with a weak security posture.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement with more AI-based detection to report traffic abnormalities and potential issues. I also suggest implementing AI-based suggestions and one-click actions to rectify problems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a few months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable. It would be more attractive if more features were added while retaining the current pricing.
What other advice do I have?
I have no other advice.
Hands-on breach labs have deepened my understanding of real-world scenarios
What is our primary use case?
I use BareMetal Servers On-Prem.
What is most valuable?
The hands-on labs were well-designed and provided great insight into real-world breach scenarios. I also really appreciated the chance to connect with other Illumio customers and partners.
Illumio Insights impressed me with its ease of use, clarity, and potential to significantly improve breach containment strategies. It is a powerful tool that adds real value to any security team looking to stay ahead of evolving threats.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for three years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use Illuminati.
Illumio is helping us achieve Zero Trust by enforcing least- privilege access our workloads.
What do you like best about the product?
Illumio is a key technology in our journey to zero trust by enforcing least-privilege across our workloads.
The dynamic laelling means we can deploy micro-segmentation quickly and at scale.
By implementing Selective Enforcement as a first phase we can achieve an initial level of segmentation quickly across our assets.
The move to a Unified console where one can have visibility and enforcement of policies across both on-premise adnd cloud assets.
By leveraging the Illumio API we have a robust integration with many internal systems for automation including our CMDB, IP Management tools, virtualization platform and directory services.

What do you dislike about the product?
High utilization of Memory on some servers by the Illumio agent.
Some issues with performance of the SaaS console although this seems to have been improved since moving to a dedicated instance.
Some issues experienced with the visualization of logs in explorer.
Would like to see a clearer schedule on our move to the Unified console.
