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.

We were in the review analysis, seeking a fast, efficient infrastructure with solid bases of data analysis and investigation. We wanted something that managed to establish and analyze systems in production so that it would not impact their use. We also wanted a visualization of our current state, with a solution that could give an example of the route that must be taken to achieve excellence in security. This tool has allowed us to achieve stronger security, allows for better analysis, and provides structure and guidance for better guides and international policies under a legal framework. 

It has given us a way to clearly and objectively identify items or issues before making any changes to the network. It offers assurance, after investigation, of a clear understanding of what each analysis is trying to define. We can now clearly and specifically achieve what we need to do from a security standpoint to help us make an action plan and achieve goals. Once we have the information, it is important to define and analyze the data collected, organize information in a format that makes sense to us administrators, and look for patterns or trends that may be useful for our investigation.

It has an analytics service that does research for us. This can provide valuable information to ultimately improve our infrastructure. Via research and analysis, we are able to identify problem areas. We can find trends and take action to fix problems while improving performance. 

Its fairly advanced automation allows us to simplify and speed up security management in the cloud. This includes being able to identify, correct, and validate all kinds of vulnerabilities that reduce the manual workload for each of our company's administrators, thus being more efficient. With this new efficiency, we are able to reach effective resolutions at all times. 

The tool has several specific characteristics at the Microsoft 365 or Exchange level. 

The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score. They should be improving the visualization of data and greater coverage in Sharepoint or Teams. Its posture analysis is currently low. There could be improvement or capacity to be more efficient if we managed to achieve greater integration with Microsoft Security score, improvements in data visualization,, and greater coverage of Microsoft 365 resources.

I've used the solution for one year. 

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.

This software protects cloud data from security malpractices and enhances policy compliance. 

It provides full data visualization of saved workloads and workflows that runs across the organization. 

Posture Management provides data analytics from network security, enabling departments to monitor work processes effectively. 

It has deployed automatic security models across the cloud computing infrastructure to enhance best data protection practices. 

The database management team has fully benefited since we secured this product due to increased efficiency.

Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management has created the best data management environment that can easily monitor workloads from the entire company networking system. 

It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database. 

It has saved the cost and time used before to monitor the security status of our infrastructure manually. 

The modern platform has upgraded technological models that enhance faster data transfer from one server to the other. 

It has allowed the IT team to scale and develop suitable security policies that track our daily activities.

The data governance features have comprehensive security features that block malware attacks. 

The security automation functionalities accelerate performance and close all insecurity loopholes that can expose company data to unauthorized users. 

The integrated customized security setups have complied with the set security rule sets. 

The intelligence security insights enable teams to set reliable awareness that can caution them when there are negative data threats. 

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.

We usually have a close and productive relationship with the support team.

Positive

I have not yet switched to another software.

The setup was complicated, however, the vendor support team provided effective guidelines.

We implemented the solution through a vendor.

We have recorded a high ROI growth rate.

The setup cost is good, and the pricing depends on the size of the company.

We negotiated with other service providers. The best bid came from Check Point.

We have achieved the set objectives with Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management.

The product provides complete visibility of our cloud security posture. It supports servers and Cloud-Native Services. It provides a centralized solution for Cloud Security with risk and compliance management. 

We required it to manage various compliance requirements including live ISO, SOC, PCI and it supports everything. Our Organization is in a hybrid structure and in it, we are using various AWS and Azure accounts. Earlier, we managed everything individually, however, after the implementation of it, we now manage everything from a single solution. The single solution helps with the system, network, and security administration.

The solution provides the complete visibility of Cloud Security, as well as a number of baseline policies and rules. This helps us to manage cloud posture with less effort. After implementation, it reduced administrative effort in terms of managed security over the cloud. Now, we are not dependent on individual tools for each account as well as cloud service providers. 

After implementation, the team can generate reports from a single console for all compliance needs.

Auto Remediation is a very effective feature and it improves the need for manual intervention from the security and cloud administrator.

The baseline policy and the integration with the public cloud are very easy.

The number of compliance rulesets along with the baseline policy, support of cloud-native services, and license management are easy. Support of the CI/CD pipeline security (Code Security), Kubernetes, et cetera, is useful. 

There are very helpful and various types of reports. Reporting features are very good and anyone from the compliance team can view/generate a report according to compliance support.

Auto remediation is a very effective feature that helps ensure less manual intervention.

Support of AWS Lamda and Azure Functions helps for any potential breaches.

Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required.

Integration with CI/CD is an important aspect as it is needed to secure the environment. Having it will help a lot.

Integration with Docker is also a key feature that needs some improvements.

Integration with other third parties and with SIEM is an important aspect that should be addressed.

Currently, it provides integration with Tenable, but it would be good if it had support other VAPT software as well.

We have been using Check Point CloudGuard Posture management for the last 8+ months.

The solution is very stable and we have not found any gaps. It provides seamless integration with the public cloud.

It's a highly scalable solution and integration with the public cloud is very good. The way you can centralize the dashboard of entire cloud infra is a very impressive.

Support has been good. We implement it with the help of OEM support and whenever we've required help we've received a good response.

Earlier, we tested other tools as well, however, the features which were available via Check Point are very good and the future roadmap is also very good in regards to cloud security.

The setup is straightforward and seamless.

We implemented it with help of Check Point support. The rest was managed by our internal team as it's easy to handle.

Security is very important and gives us ROI from security itself. We also get an ROI as we have less administrative effort. We can see an ROI with the compliance and risk management on offer too.

The setup cost is very affordable and very easy. Integration with the public cloud is very easy. The licensing calculation is also very good and no manual effort is required.

We evaluated other tools like Rapid7, Qualys, and AWS native security tools, as well as Azure native security tools.

It's a very strong solution for cloud security posture management and very effective for large and mid-size environments. Any organization moving towards the cloud would benefit from this.
