It can be deployed as a SaaS solution, provide a consolidated view, and complete vulnerability scans
Pros and Cons
- "The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently."
- "CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
What is our primary use case?
When idle virtual machines hosting Azure Functions require protection and vulnerability scanning, we can leverage the Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP solution to gain a consolidated single pane of glass view and manage these workloads.
How has it helped my organization?
By utilizing Check Point CloudGuard for security, our clients can now protect both their cloud assets and on-premise assets. CloudGuard also provides a single pane of glass for multi-cloud management, including protection for their Azure resources.
What is most valuable?
The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently. Importantly, it's enabled by default.
Another advantage of CloudGuard CNAPP is that it can be deployed as a SaaS solution on Check Point Standard, eliminating the need for a custom subscription. This flexibility is a significant improvement.
What needs improvement?
CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure. This would allow Check Point to offer a forward-looking security solution that caters to customers who require a purely Azure-based environment. Currently, the mixed architecture involving on-premises and AWS deployments might not meet all compliance and security needs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP for one year.
What was our ROI?
Our clients can measure the return on investment of CloudGuard CNAPP in several ways. Firstly, it offers improved operational metrics compared to traditional methods.

Cloud Analyst at Cloud2Go
Has great support and helped us analyze the security of our Azure environment
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is the separate environment."
- "The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
What is our primary use case?
We use Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management to increase our visibility into our environment and ensure that our policies are being followed.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management for three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I give the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I give the scalability a nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is great.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The license fee is high.
What other advice do I have?
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.

Founder
Provides detailed information, and is stable, but the rules are not well-tuned
Pros and Cons
- "The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."
- "The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results."
What is our primary use case?
We review CloudGuard results and generate tickets to contact the owners.
How has it helped my organization?
Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management will improve the organization. Currently, it is operating as a stopgap measure to address these issues. This is because there are a lot of them being generated. They are working on automation to automatically create tickets and track when issues are remediated. So, hopefully, when that comes into play, it will be a much more valuable tool.
What is most valuable?
The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable. This is because we have a lot of cases where people remediate part of the solution on half of their hosts, but don't realize that they have more hosts that need to be addressed.
What needs improvement?
The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results. For example, they might flag port 443 as open, even though it is supposed to be open for a public web server. There needs to be a better way to exclude certain hosts that are compliant and are supposed to be open.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management for three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution has not crashed yet, and there are a lot of findings, so that is a good sign of its stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is able to handle a large number of vulnerabilities, so it seems to be able to scale well.
What was our ROI?
We've only been using the solution for a few months, but we're already starting to see the numbers go down. This is encouraging, but it's important to be aware of any vulnerabilities that may exist so that we can take steps to address them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm glad I don't have to pay the licensing fee. Everything in this field is very expensive. I don't have a say in the matter.
What other advice do I have?
I give Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management a six out of ten. It could be better once fully tuned and properly deployed.
My usage is rather difficult because the client has not spent much time tuning the solution, as they are planning to automate a lot of it. As a result, I am currently the manual.
The solution actually created more work for the staff because it made them aware of all the vulnerabilities. As a result, their priority is now to fix them, which created a lot of work and a lot of tickets.
I wish I had been involved in the deployment because I would have done it differently.

Pros and Cons
- "The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
- "Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
What is our primary use case?
We started to use Check Point as a firewall. That's what it was for. Now we use it for all the endpoint security, cloud security, and API endpoint security. That's probably our major use case.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution has improved our organization by allowing us to be more flexible and deploy changes much more quickly. Since it gives us an audit trail, it's much easier for us to track or change things.
What is most valuable?
The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature. When we have to block something, the screens we have in front of us are really good. They are very user-friendly, and the processes are quick. That's something we've really liked from the beginning.
What needs improvement?
Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on.
In a future release, we'd like to have the ability to see if there is abnormal data being transferred. We'd like to see more features coming through that allow us to act more proactively and act against vulnerabilities effectively.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for a long time. I've been with my company for more than ten years, and over that time, I've been using it. We've been using Check Point from on-premises deployments to the cloud.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not witnessed any crashing.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution works well for us, both on-premises and on the cloud.
How are customer service and support?
The support has always been the best.
How would you rate customer service and support?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. However, the issue is when you buy the license, you buy the quantity of data to do the intelligence, not to keep the data stored on the cloud. We pay to correlate one terabyte of information for only one month.
How are customer service and support?
We don't open a lot of tickets for support. You do need to pay extra for support. If you pay more, you get faster answers. You get a lot more attention if you pay.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward. I don't have to do any tuning or configuration for it to work. You just need to enable it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive or overly cheap. It is comparable to other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
We're a Check Point partner.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

On the other hand, it facilitates alerts and the monitoring of threats in real-time. Its integration with SIEM tools has given us a greater vision of what is happening in our environment.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features include:
What needs improvement?
I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English in order to have easier contact with Check Point support. This would make management easier.
The costs of latest cloud solutions are very expensive. Some of them are only for large companies, and they should make cost improvements.
Response times for support or problem cases sometimes take a long time to be addressed.
