Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Reviews

As an organization, we have implemented Azure Microsoft and AWS for some applications. Most of the workloads are managed in the cloud. Therefore we needed a tool that could protect us against some type of cyber threat that would generate losses in the apps that are being used. We apply CloudGuard Workload that comes to us to cover all those security breaches that we could see presenting. In the beginning, we used the free trial to do some tests, and it worked for what we needed it for, and then we acquired it with all the functionalities

CloudGuard Workload Protection came to help us a lot in the organization in the application development part since it is one of the areas where there is more workflow and vital generation of the company since applications are generated and modified daily. With this tool, IT came to us to help provide a series of security layers to all these flows by providing us with different types of security options such as alerts and improvements. One of the characteristics that we liked very much is that it can be coupled with different public clouds.

One of the CloudGuard Workload Protection features that we liked a lot is the security it handles in containers. 

Another interesting thing is that it works without an agent involved. 

It also offers great complete visibility of all devices, and assets in the cloud, which allows us to control all those assets, thus generating complete analysis of the infrastructure in real-time. In this way, we've been able to attack the points where there is some vulnerability in our infrastructure and being able to be at the forefront of security.

It cost us a little to find some information about CloudGuard Workload Protection. It cost us to find information about the tool and recommendations.

The configuration administration documentation is not very available on the web, or it is not completely updated. They should also improve the support so that we can create a case and they can respond faster. They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well. It is sometimes difficult to coordinate support hours. 

They do not provide a concrete and rapid solution which causes security implementations to be delayed.

The solution was implemented a¿twoo ago.

So far, the stability of the product has remained excellent. We have not presented any failures.

It has great scalability. It's very fast and precise.

The support offered by Check Point in general is very regular.

Positive

No other solution has been implemented.

Like all setup-type software, it is very easy to install.

The implementation was done in conjunction with a support team from the company and the supplier.

The implementation of a security tool is always an excellent investment. One thing outweighs the other.

The installation of the product is very reliable, and fast, and it is a very competitive cost in the market.

Check Point was the first solution we used. It was recommended by third parties.

It is a very complete tool for workflows. It provides excellent security.

Currently, the company I work for has implemented several cloud solutions such as Azure and AWS, in which they are migrating from AWS to Azure to have everything unified in a single environment. 

At the moment, we have different applications in both clouds, which have their own system of security in the environments. Recently, in the country there were several ransomware attacks on government companies they were the target due to this we decided to expand security a little more and it was where we made use of Check Point tools that will help us comply with a more centralized security that is more robust on all our end devices.

We have made the decision to centralize our security infrastructure via that CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool. It has contributed a lot to security since many companies were having security problems. We decided we could be one of the few that was not violated with this tool as it gave us a lot of security and helped us avoid vulnerabilities. We were able to counteract attacks with the recommendations that the tool gave us since each point of vulnerability that we found told us how to increase security. That is how our organization was able to survive even an attack.

The CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool has several significant features that provide security to our company. These are helping us to prevent misfortune. Some of these features are centralized monitoring, alerts that indicate some type of vulnerability, recommendations on how to reduce these vulnerabilities, and configuration and monitoring of policies, all based on real-time monitoring with excellent efficiency. They are very effective.

One of the most effective functionalities is integration with the cloud since a match can also be done between the two. 

Check Point tools need to improve the latency in the portal since they take a long time to load. 

They also need to improve the support a little or hire more staff since the response time is slow or the solutions take a long time to implement.

Check Point should give added value to all those customers who purchase their product by providing training so that they can certify in the tool. That way, the customer stops depending so much on support and can solve incidents themselves.

I've used the solution for approximately Three year.

The stability is very good. Even when updates are made, it has not presented any type of failure.

The tool has excellent scalability.

The support must improve the level of service and must train their staff a bit more.

Positive

Currently, we only had other Check Point tools.

Making the investment is a bit high, however, it is very effective to make the acquisition of the tool.

The implementation was done with the help of the vendor and an engineer.

Here it will be reflected in the long term since it is not something tangible but by making the investment in security we can have a company always working

The cost is a bit high, however, the investment is worth it.

We evaluated Palo Alto and Cisco however, they forced us through Check Point at the company.

The solution is very effective. It fulfills perfectly for what it was made to do.

We use Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management to increase our visibility into our environment and ensure that our policies are being followed.

The solution has helped us analyze the security of our Azure environment. Trend Micro and Check Point analyze the Azure environment with our tenants and clients to check for security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. We need to correct these problems and alert our team and clients of any issues. The solution also compares these actions between two applications.

The most valuable feature is the separate environment. In the testing environment, we can have Client A, Client B, and Client C. We can check this information in one portal. It is possible to separate access to this information for my clients to review.

The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement.

I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management for three months.

I give the stability a nine out of ten.

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

The technical support is great.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward.

The license fee is high.

I give Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management a ten out of ten.

Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is a good solution and I recommend it.

It helped us a lot in improving the regulations and security of our cloud environments.

We still manage an on-premise environment, however, many companies at the beginning believe that the cloud is invulnerable or that the manufacturer must ensure everything, which is not correct. With this implementation, it is possible to improve all current cloud security.

In the company I work for, it was implemented to be able to have governance in addition to good practices in our Microsoft Azure environment. It's a somewhat expensive tool, however, it is worth it to be able to solve all those improvements and avoid so many modern vulnerabilities, which have their point in cloud attacks.

As in our company we have environments that are hybrid in some cases and others totally cloud. We find in Check Point a reliable tool to improve security, implement regulations, and generate governance in cloud environments. In our case, we have a Microsoft Azure public cloud with enough resources which we need to protect. We achieved it together with  Check Point.

It was possible to provide greater security to identities with admin access to the cloud - a critical part of IT management.

The most striking features are:

1- Identity protection generated through Check Point posture management, which is helping to prevent user theft or unauthorized access.

2- The governance that can be provided with this tool is very good since we have been able to implement good practices to avoid vulnerabilities.

3- The administration portal panel is very intuitive. It also generates scores based on regulations and good practices to go little by little with the recommendations, significantly improving security.

Some general improvement characteristics can be made, including the following:

1- Cost improvement. Some tools are quite expensive, and some non-equal manufacturers offer more comfortable capabilities at the cost level.

2- The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete. Following them sometimes the task of implementing under the best practices of the manufacturer is not achieved.

3- Many Check Point guides are only available to partners and not to the general public. They can make a better impression by having them public and thereby helping the client.

It's an excellent tool and is available in the Infinity Check Point Portal. Its main function is to centralize governance in the same administration portal and has been tested for more than a year to validate our cloud security.

Previously we used only Microsoft with Defender for Cloud. However, we wanted to have our security centralized. Check Point through the infinity portal achieves that feature.

It's very important to have a reliable and good partner. The proactivity helps us to see the existing needs and check with Check Point what characteristics are required.

We chose Check Point as it provides integrated and centralized security, improving the effectiveness of security reviews.

Even though the cost is somewhat expensive. I recommend this solution for users who use the public cloud.

We wanted to have a centralized and modern security environment, and it was possible to obtain it through Check Point Infinity.

It was possible to implement Check Point CloudGuard to take advantage of cloud intelligence to analyze modern threats. The global learning that Check Point obtains from all its devices for the improvement and confidence of security.

We currently use Microsoft Azure, which has several security features, all with costs, to perform governance, control, vulnerability improvements and regulatory compliance. However, we manage Check Point.

Forensics as your monitoring portal is exceptional.

The features included in Check Point CloudGuard help us a lot with the security of our Microsoft Azure cloud, which we successfully integrate with Check Point CloudGuard.

We have validated the score generated to improve security performance, thereby making improvements to avoid vulnerabilities.

The threat attack is reviewed and covered in an automated manner through cloud intelligence. Its alerts have kept us notified so that we can make the necessary adjustments. It offers incredible performance.

The most important characteristics are the following:

1- The detection of vulnerabilities in real-time. Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly.

2- The use of Check Point ThreatCloud allows sharing of information between other Check Point devices to improve trust and form of protection against new threats.

3- Finally, its security application portals are very intuitive. It has helped us with the simple handling of Check Point CloudGuard.

Some possibilities of improvements for Check Point include:

1- Improving or creating best practices that can be generated publicly so that customers can have a package of policies, for example, that the manufacturer provides in addition to easy access to this material.

2- Improvement at the support level for management, handling and solution of cases in a better, faster, and more effective way. Sometimes the cases take a long time to be able to schedule a session and solve together with the client and support.

3- The costs are high. They could provide better costs for the client to make a simpler decision and not be affected by this issue.

One of its characteristics is cloud intelligence. It was adapted to our centralization and public cloud requirements.

Our company already uses several centralized products in the Check Point Infinity platform. For more than six months, we have used CloudGuard.

We used Azure Defender for the cloud. It is good, however, I liked more the form and the trust of Check Point.

It is always important to have access to a partner to help you with costs, and requirements and to help you choose the best option within Check Point.

We previously validated some solutions. However, the features of Check Point CloudGuard were better suited to our requirements.

It is an expensive solution. However, I recommend it.

We need more infrastructure in the cloud to avoid vulnerabilities.                        

With this shield infrastructure, we seek to protect, improve, and close security problems that generally arise in the implementation of code, apps, and APIs that maintain privileged keys or identities, for which we have achieved increased security with best practices.

This tool really gave us development implementation security. Many times the applications were built with a user or identity with privileges to be able to manage within their infrastructure. However, it is not the best way to deal with this challenge. APIs were also exposed that were connected to the infrastructure that could be violated. Thanks to Check Point, we have been able to improve with best practices and protect the information and code of our infrastructure.

This Check Point security tool has many benefits. Some of the ones that we liked the most include:

1 - How Check Point CloudGuard centralizes the protection of the workload. In the Infinity Portal all the administration can be managed easily. We can monitor and scan the codes and make decisions to improve security.

2 - This tool is very cloud-based. In addition, it can handle hybrid environments, which is a great feature for clients with mixed environments.

3 - The automatic learning and an AI engine help to find more modern vulnerability problems. With this, it provides greater security to the client.

Some improvements that can be made to Check Point CloudGuard are the following:

1. Cost improvement. Currently, this solution is somewhat expensive. We have not really seen a solution with these characteristics and so complete. However, the cost is high.

2. There is very little Check Point documentation as it is a very new tool. Sometimes we followed the documentation, yet it was not possible to implement it in the tool, for which we had to verify with the executive of our partner to request help.

3. Support is very slow.

This tool has been used this year by development partners and managed by support. It is a great tool that is coupled with new technologies that cloud development has produced, and thus we've been able to adjust and provide the required security.

This tool and Spectral are some of the best tools we've tried. Using both is excellent.

Prepare to pay, since the tool is expensive. However, I recommend talking to a Check Point partner so that they can provide you with everything related to the tool along with costs.

This tool is centralized with the Infinity Check Point Portal. This, with the other Check Point tools that we handle, is excellent for administration.

We validated this along with some other tools. We did not have the same confidence that Check Point provided due to its prestige, its characteristics, and its comments.

Evaluate this tool and also check the new Spectral Check Point tool, which can help complement this.

Both are recommended.

The dashboards provide summarized data representations that can be analyzed for improved performance.

The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands. 

Tiny misconfigurations may not be detected in advance and can easily affect performance from some cloud servers. 

When the platform is overloaded with a lot of tasks at the same time, it can delay results and lead to poor security responses. 

The cost is high for small businesses that have no stable revenue-generation assets. 

Security and compliance posture reports created from the audited results have confirmed that we are doing well and the organization has stable security tools.

I've used the solution for one year.

The product has maintained a stable performance from the time of deployment.

I am happy with scaling since there is comprehensive security compliance in the organization.
