    This product offers simple ways to manage network routing between public cloud, on-prem, and external network. It has built-in options to secure network traffic, as well as option to direct traffic to 3rd party security products for a more advanced traffic inspection. The core function works and is easy to operate. On the other hand, I am unable to give it more than 7-star because some useful features are lacking. This includes lack of customization in email alerting, IPS policy management, and temproarily admin-down of an established site to site VPN connection.

    For WAF functionality and delivery of websites, It's very well suited for traditional firewalling, if you're doing that already, it can be quite difficult to rearchitect everything around this product. So an example of that would be if, like us, you came from a datacenter style architecture within your cloud environment and you are trying to move to a more cloud-fronted architecture. Probably the best way to put it is that can be quite difficult, but once you've deployed, it gets easier operationally. So to kind of reverse engineer everything and then do everything again can be quite tedious in some ways. But that will be specific to people depending on where they're coming from with it.

    Pros
    Aviatrix
    • With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
    • Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
    • Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.

    • DLP monitoring - key item for us which helps to view if anything which should leave our environment our or even between each part of network between/inside specific clouds
    • Segmentation of subnet, basic but helpful to isolate each host into their own part of single subnet and connect them, including all visibility features which are offered by Cisco defense systems
    • Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment

    Cons
    Aviatrix
    • It lacks of ways to admin-down an established site to site VPN connections is one of the short coming.
    • In network traffic inspection, it lacks options to customize the IPS function is another short coming.
    • While the product allows lots of email alerting options, it lacks ways to customize the alerting email messages and ways to suppress alert flooding.

    • The ability to see traffic flowing and identify malicious traffic is amazing.
    • The ease of setting up the connections of the cloud platforms is perfect.
    • Dynamic based security policies allow for better protection.
    • I don't have any detailed examples of improvement so instead I highlighted a couple of aspects that make the solution amazing.

    We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix solution.

    Cisco Multicloud Defense, Crowd Strike Falcon, and Arctic Wolf Cloud Posture Security Management System as a service SAAS platforms are very comparable platforms. Unfortunately for Croud Strike, they had a mishap recently that caused major downtime for many companies worldwide. I do not think that you would have to worry about this happening with Cisco Multicloud Defense.

    Return on Investment
    Aviatrix
    • Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
    • Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
    • The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
