Aviatrix vs. Cybereason Defense Platform vs. Selector Analytics

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.

I'd recommend Cybereason due to it's efficacy, low TCO, low false/positive rate. The product was easy to implement and maintain. One of the major advantages of using Cybereason is that it requires minimal training for level 1 users to use the tool.

Selector Analytics has proven very useful for our SRE and DevOps teams. It addresses our concern of being able to monitor network health and gives good analytics for our needs. It also helps with problem identification quickly so that we can resolve any potential issues. Getting an idea of network health allows us to identify potential problems beforehand, and we can take measures to fix them.

• 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.

• 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.

• Slow support
• Bugs on their interface
• Log extraction

• Dashboard Customizations would be good to have.
• Integration with tools such as Slack.

The core function of the product works very well. It really makes network traffic management easy in public clound, as well as crossing different public and private cloud platform.

Very responsive and very strong technical skill even on the first teir support.

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.

Cybereason provides superior protection than either Microsoft or CrowdStrike and a better TCO. We receive less false positives than with Microsoft Defender and Cybereason is easier for level 1 users to use.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Helps on threat hunting
• MalOps is very good
• When we face a bug, it takes too much time for them to respond

Incentivized

• Helped us identify problems faster.
• Insights to identify ways to prevent future problems.
• Helps us resolve problems faster.
• Reduced our server costs - as we know when to scale up and when to scale down.
