Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Reviews

We required a tool for our Microsoft Azure environment to validate and find threats under machine learning, forensic validations, and extremely important reports for the company to determine possible vulnerabilities and change the infrastructure to improve the security posture of our public cloud environment.

We also needed an environment that could show us monitoring and dashboards of value to improve our security easily.

One of the most important details to monitor is the network in our infrastructure, based on those requirements, we look for a tool, in this case, Check Point.

The Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence tool helped us perfectly with the search for a cloud security posture for our environments and security in the Microsoft Azure cloud, a centralized environment, and has great features within the tool, such as forensic analysis. In case of any vulnerability, we had to determine what happened.

As for the reports, we could help determine what happened, valuable details which allowed us to generate greater security according to the values shown.

The most important features that we like in Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence are the centralization of the security environment within the Check Point Infinity Portal, which already has other security tools that we have and that can also be managed from this site.

Forensic analysis is one of the features we liked a lot since it is easy to understand and helps us improve security.

The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way.

Something that needs to be improved little by little in tools like Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence is the lowering of costs as some customers can't buy such a solution. They could also sell it based on various versions for different customers and various business needs.

It is also important to improve performance issues at the Infinity Portal level, which is sometimes slow, yet not always.

We would like there to be more public documentation to generate implementations with best practices.

We started using the application no more than a year ago. It's excellent for the analysis of the public cloud infrastructure.

This is a really stable solution.

The solution is incredibly scalable and managed by Check Point Infinity Portal infrastructure.

We had never used or known a tool like Check Point CloudGuard.

The best option is to have a partner who helps them with support in addition to helping with cost issues since pricing is not public.

We always value various issues such as centralized environments, costs, and support, among other details to make the best decision. Even so, with this validation, the best option for our company is Check Point.

Our developers work in our Microsoft Azure public cloud environment, where they build applications and app service sites. These developments did not always avoid vulnerabilities, so we required a tool to guarantee that these environments complied with robust security measures to avoid attacks including identity theft, and denial of services, among others. We needed to protect from damage to the operation or hijacking of our data which would prevent the internal operation of the company. Thanks to this tool, we could cover ourselves and our environment safely.

The importance of having a security tool for our developers' workloads; most of the time, our apps services use identities to log in against databases, generating a possible loss of data and credentials. 

Thanks to Check Ppoint CloudGuard Workload Protection, we were able to provide assessments to verify security problems, best practices, and changes that were listed from the solution portal to be able to correct them both automatically and manually, achieving safe environments.

Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection is a very important tool for the company and developers. The characteristic that caught our attention the most was that it is a native solution and was created for cloud application protection that was automated.

This solution not only provides recommendations or best practices for applications that are already finished or productive. However, we can protect from the beginning of development to testing and production, having recommendations and improvements throughout the process.

The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security.

Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection is a very powerful, comprehensive, centralized tool but also a very expensive solution. It is worth it, however, it is not available to everyone.

The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes.

There is little documentation for the implementation and start-up of some configurations. They could improve the public documentation to be able to generate the help that the client requires to be able to generate the correct and effective provisioning.

This is an excellent security tool for the workload of the company's internal developers; we have used this technology in the last year with very encouraging results.

I really like the solution.

This product offers excellent availability; its scaling is managed by the manufacturer.

A centralized tool with the potential of Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection is not found in other manufacturers. We have not had such a solid and secure solution.

The recommendation is always to have a provider or a partner that can generate and answer all questions about the solutions and provide costs and analysis to see if the solutions are what the company needs.

Before implementing this solution, we validated solutions from other manufacturers such as Fortinet and Cisco. However, the benefits provided by Check Point exceeded the validations, and we chose CloudGuard.

It is an excellent security tool for dev departments and the entire company.

The data querying system gives team members an opportunity to select and give priority to the most crucial information. 

The intelligence system has powerful security management systems that have put measures in place to curb any hidden threats that can affect workflows. 

The cost and licensing terms are reliable, and many business enterprises can maintain them without facing financial challenges.

No improvements are needed. The current version has great and powerful features that take care of most sets of demands. The cloud-integrated network system can be upgraded to meet company requirements on intelligence information and for customization purposes. The set features have stable performance capability with the modern threat management network infrastructure. 

This system has a capable data orchestration system that can access data from various centers. The customer support channels are reliable, with great services when contacted.

I've used the solution for eight months.

This solution is stable.

I am impressed by the performance.

The customer service support staff is reliable.

Positive

I have not used a similar solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It was implemented by the vendor.

There is increased ROI from a great performance.

The setup cost and licensing terms are always good.

This is the best platform that I have worked with.

This is a great solution for any organization.

We use CloudGuard for compliance and auditing. About 20 people in our company use it, including our cloud administrators use it and security personnel. And now even our managers, our scrum masters are using it.

CloudGuard makes the management of our security controls in AWS more transparent. 

The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan.

CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards. 

I've been using CloudGuard Posture Management for at least six months.

CloudGuard is pretty stable. It's rock-solid.

In terms of scalability, CloudGuard requires a little bit of work. Sometimes it does take longer for the checks to come through, but it depends on how busy you are in the cloud. 

Check Point tech support in North America is pretty good.

We really liked this other solution offered by a smaller company, and then a larger company bought it. I forgot the company's name, but the roadmap just went to pieces when it was bought out. All the tech people left the company then the chief technical officer resigned. It was terrible.

Setting up CloudGuard is pretty straightforward. The initial setup only took a few minutes. It's essentially turnkey. However, the total deployment took about half a day. For maintenance, we have two cloud administrators. That's two in case one goes on vacation, resigns, or gets sick. So you need backup.

The license for CloudGuard Posture Management is about $80 a year, and it's based on your cloud footprint, not the number of users. So you could have a million users, and it doesn't matter. 

I rate CloudGuard Posture Management seven out of 10. I would rate it higher, but I think the price point is pretty high for what it does. However, I know it's a burgeoning market. So I think the price point and some of the other features that I already mentioned, like customization, are pretty lacking. Still, if you want some cover for an internal or external audit, this is a tool for you. 

We needed to establish a security posture under certain requirements. We needed to protect infrastructure as a service and our software as a service platform in each of our environments for the development and implementation of the cloud. 

We needed to provision instantaneous computing infrastructure and administration through the Internet. Management and security was the initial requirement, with more requirements being established. We were seeking a baseline that was provided to us by a security expert that would allow us to identify and remediate security risks and evaluate monitoring automation. We needed a solution that could prevent the company from being violated when implementing and managing a new configuration.

The solution give us compliance and offered continuous evaluation of the policies that were established. We managed to automatically generate tools for the detection and resolution of compliance and managed to establish supervision of the operations, including the management of each incident which involves identifying risks and qualifying in order to be able to share any news or updates. This allowed us to be more proactive, complete, and precise. 

The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have. It has helped resolve several security incidents that we previously had, and we could not see since previously we did not have a solution that allowed us to quickly and safely manage each one of the activities. With Check Point, we can now map incidents and see how the security teams work to verify the integrity of the systems.  

When it comes to validating the power, security, implementation, and management, I would like to also have the capacity more easily on-premise as well as the cloud. Some problems have been found in analysis at the time of execution, and local install revision agents have generated management incompatibility. It is important to evaluate the applications that are on-site since they are needed in the organization. We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs.

I've used the solution for approximately nine months.

The primary use case for this solution is associated with a challenge whereby we have multiple cloud computing platforms. We have our past cloud platforms in AWS and ECP. Therefore, we can configure management and policy governance tools to deployment across all sites.

Dome9 has improved our organization in the way that we have a centralized view of all of our assets, our visible assets our ECs, our inventories. Then all the policies are centralized and it is easier to manage because everything is one component console. 

I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

Technical support is excellent; they are quite supportive.

The inial setup was straightforward.

The deployment took us about six months because we had issues while integrating. The issues weren't with Dome9.

We implemented Dome9 ourselves, in-house. We used our own set of experts.
I think there is less than six staff required for deployment and maintenance.

The licensing costs for this solution are on a yearly basis.

My advice is to try to get the trial period first because this will allow them to see if this is a suitable solution or not for their environment. They have to remember that this solution can only be compared to Test B, but it's not Test B. The trial allows for appropriate compatibility and suitability evaluations.

On a scale from one to ten, ten being the best, I would gladly rate this product an eight out of ten.

We wanted to protect, analyze, and detect issues within the infrastructure that we have taken to the cloud. We were looking for ways that we can analyze and introduce a more complete internal forensic analysis so that if an intrusion did not happen, we could have a visualization in which we could be constantly learning how to detect and ee anomalies and provide analysis for detection in real-time. 

We needed a solution that could handle analysis and offer automated detection with process intelligence. We were interested in threat prevention in real-time to help us detect anomalies, attempts, and atypical actions in any of the activities of the teams or users. The goal was to take advantage of that learning and detection. Machine learning supervises and analyzes in an advanced way everything that is happening in the cloud. It works within any type of cloud and can be integrated more so if we want to migrate or scale tomorrow, we can carry out this detection automatically.

The solution learns day by day. It learns from behavior, attacks, management, detections, captures packets, real-time analysis, et cetera. It's generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis. 

This allows us to move faster and have more efficient responses to incidents. It provides alerts for all these types of activities, achieving more objective management for packet capture and a combination of activities within the cloud environment.

I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now. We'd like to have more defined control when implementing intelligent analysis on the cloud. We'd like to extend analysis not just to crowds but to local teams for more granular analysis and advanced searchability.

I've used the solution for about a year and a bit.

We use the solution to control all the emails that go out from the company. We also use it to protect our network by stopping unauthorized people from accessing it.

The product enables us to check the information that goes out of the company. We get to know if someone sends our sales emails to our competitors. We control the information that goes out of the company. It’s a good product.

The product must provide different features like antivirus.

I am currently using the solution.

The tool always performs very well. All the upgrades happen automatically. We haven't had a problem with it.

We haven’t needed much support.

Positive

The solution’s pricing is a little bit high. I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price.

I would like to implement all the security solutions from Check Point in our company. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
