Cisco Multicloud Defense

The sell key was for my company the monitoring all outgoing data and between each cloud provider which we use from all departments which keeps their data in a cloud environment. We could apply specific rules for monitoring and DPL on all traffic, which was the key feature that we were missing in the cloud solution. Also, they provide security features like intrusion prevention, antimalware, and full-path URL filtering, which are nice to have. Applying all at the start can be really time consuming but for the time we spent and how the solution help us to prevent data leave our company it was for sure worth it.

• Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment

As of yet I havent logged a TAC case - It will be interesting to see how it is supported as a new product in the medium term

The ease of use, analytics, and just overall security feature set of Cisco Multicloud Defense is hard to beat. Their product is very intriguing and quite a bit similar. However, I have learned from past experiences that you get what you pay for. Cisco may be a little more pricy but it is worth it.

• Saved a lot of money on Operational Overhead. I would say we were able to save more than 10 hours every week.
