Good security and functionality with helpful support
The security on offer is great. It's secure in terms of testing all the workloads. We can test across any workload or multiple clouds. It offers unified prevention. It also offers posture management by verifying proper scanning. We use the GSL builder. It's easy to write customer rules or policies using it. Of course, you do need proper training on the product first. It takes around one week to get trained. We've been able to reduce human error, and you can build the rules for better coverage. It provides functionality across cloud providers. The solution helps us save time. We've reduced the amount of time spent by 25%. Its unified security management console is a very complete dashboard. We can see all security threats and can gain visibility into what is happening. We have access to automation and can monitor the security of IT systems. The product offers role-based access control so that we can set up different privileges for admin users. Cloud Guard Spectrum is good for automating our organization's security across assets, workloads, and multiple clouds. With it, we have advanced pre-prevention across the cloud security network. It works for on-premises also. We can easily determine our organization's security posture. It will ensure my application's availability time across the enterprise. Network security helped us reduce our compliance and audit activities. We've saved about 20% of our time. Having a cloud detection response helps to very quickly identify security threats in our environment. It's automated so it saves us time. That way, people can work on other projects. On any given day, we're spending 20% less time in general worrying about detection and response. Our security operations are saving a lot of time using a unified platform.

Easy to use with efficient vulnerability reporting and team collaboration
Use case, so all the reports from GitLeaks, DefectDojo, GitLeaks or dependency check or Trivy, they make reports, and we send this report to DefectDojo to have CVMs, Central Vulnerability Management. DefectDojo is Central Vulnerability Management. If you have a dashboard to set, we have…

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The implementation of this tool for security management and control is very simple."
"It helped us to reduce vulnerabilities."
"Having a cloud detection response helps to very quickly identify security threats in our environment."
"The data center security system has provided real-time analytics on performance and data configuration processes."

"Automation has helped a lot to identify and automatically execute policies, rules, and blocks due to its machine learning."
"You can maintain a legal framework structure at all times."
"With the pipeline of detection and DefectDojo, we are able to see the real vulnerabilities, and we fix them."
 

Cons

"The enhancements are needed in the logging system and log management processes."
"The solution should improve false-positives."
"There are a lot of opportunities for how they can use their technology to do more. That would be more like sensitive data discovery and other things besides Git Repos, but then you are expanding the scope of what necessarily their product is."

"I would like this solution to be extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"We need to have many of the baselines or development guides providing less complex writing or development."
"The ease of use could be better."
"I am satisfied with the performance and results enhanced by this product since we deployed it."
