User Testimonials
	AWS CloudTrail	Cisco Multicloud Defense
Likelihood to Recommend	Most probably it would be suitable for Finance industries, where security is at the head of the table. However, in our case for E-commerce, it's also quite suitable, since we have quite a significant amount of data and usage of AWS services. Especially with usage of AWS services, AWS CloudTrail comes into play as a heavy plus. For instance, troubleshooting any issues in AWS services is really nice. Therefore, it would be less appropriate with a small amount of AWS service usage and some basic web hosting. Incentivized AS Anton Smyslov Product Owner Read full review	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.
