Aviatrix vs. Netskope Public Cloud Security

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.

Netskope public cloud security solution is best suited for all sizes of organizations as it's a SaaS-based solution with its tenants ( data plain) available in each region. Multi-cloud infrastructure can be integrated using rest API to identify and protect the data and detect any malware in the infra as well.

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.

Since most government customer in India has this regulatory to comply that data should not go out of the country if they are going to cloud and this space, Netskope has three tenants here in India to comply and provide the low latency. Netskope public cloud security gives granular control in DLP policy creation.

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.
