Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Multicloud Defense

We are an MSP offering Cisco and Palo Alto products and solutions. We use Cisco Multicloud Defense in our offering to secure our customer's cloud environments. Cisco Multicloud Defense is a next-generation cloud native security solution that utilizes both APIs and proprietary gateways to secure cloud environments in a manageable and scalable way.

Pros

  • IPSec VPN to integrate with campus and/or private cloud solutions
  • Integration through CDO using shared objects
  • Clear policies that are understandable

Cons

  • The GUI for IPSec VPN is sometimes confusing if you want to add third party VPN endpoints.
  • There should be a clearer indication of the sizing you need to choose for the gateway deployments.
  • We would love to be able to push policies to private cloud as well.
  • Cisco Multicloud Defense is easy to deploy and manage
Virtual Firewalling solutions are a traditional way of bringing your own security into the cloud. Multi cloud defense is a new way that is cloud native.
