Sentiment score
7.0
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP support is praised for responsiveness and knowledge, though some seek improvement at the basic level.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
When I need help or have open questions, or if I require the capability to deploy a quick test environment, there are always people I can contact at Check Point to get my information or the environment as fast as I need it.
I have a dedicated support engineer and a presales engineer dedicated to me.
 

Scalability Issues

8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust scalability and seamless integration, praised for efficient handling of diverse workload demands.
Sentiment score
8.1
Azure Kubernetes Service excels in scalability, offering strong auto-scaling, adaptability, and global distribution, despite noted high costs.
Sentiment score
7.9
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is scalable and adaptable, integrating well into multi-cloud systems despite potential licensing cost considerations.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
AKS offers excellent scalability due to its adaptation from Kubernetes.
I never had any performance-related issues.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly rated for stability, integrates seamlessly with AWS, and outperforms competitors.
Sentiment score
7.4
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is reliable, stable, with minor issues, offering self-healing and effective monitoring capabilities.
Sentiment score
8.3
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is praised for its stable performance, reliable workload management, and seamless cloud integration with minimal downtime.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
From my usage, I would rate its stability as eight to nine out of ten.
If there are errors, it is sometimes challenging to elaborate or troubleshoot since it is not transparent enough to understand what to search for.
It is rapidly evolving, and sometimes mistakes occur, necessitating testing.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security requires enhancements in cost, functionality, integration, UI, alerting, and user support systems.
Azure Kubernetes Service needs enhanced alerting, support, and usability with better cost, integration, logging, and documentation for improvements.
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP requires better integration, improved features, enhanced support, and comprehensive documentation with robust automation and customization.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
The costs are rising rapidly, and we have not seen any cost reductions by moving to Azure.
I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle.
It would be nice to have periodic updates on what people should do, maybe with some analysis or something.
I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is seen as cost-effective and flexible, offering competitive pricing with value compared to competitors.
Azure Kubernetes Service's costs are perceived as high but offer reasonable licensing with flexible payment plans and manageability advantages.
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP licenses by cloud assets with annual/hourly terms; opinions vary on pricing and flexibility.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
Transitioning to Azure did not bring cost reductions; in fact, costs are rising rapidly.
The pricing for Azure Kubernetes Service seems to be around the average, which I would rate as a five out of ten.
It is not cheap, of course, yet it is a necessity.
From a licensing and cost perspective, it is really competitive.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides a unified dashboard with AI-driven threat detection and automated threat response for efficient management.
Azure Kubernetes Service offers robust security, scalability, and integration features, excelling in orchestration and efficiency for large workloads.
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP excels in cloud security with IAM control, compliance monitoring, visualization, and seamless multi-cloud integration.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.
The most valuable features of Azure Kubernetes Service are its integration with Kubernetes, offering similar features for a seamless experience.
One of the main reasons we use the solution is that it is great at identifying risks that are critical to our business.
The CDR helps detect anomalous behavior and respond to threats before they become an issue.
Detecting misconfigurations in the cloud is what the CSPM delivers.

Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Raymond De Rooij - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalability and flexibility but needs better support
We are using Azure Kubernetes Service as a customer. I cannot detail all the products and technologies we are using There isn't one specific feature of Azure Kubernetes Service that I can name as most valuable. It's part of a strategic solution yet I don't see an advantage compared to our…
Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.
