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.

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.

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 review CloudGuard results and generate tickets to contact the owners.

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.

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.

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.

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

The solution has not crashed yet, and there are a lot of findings, so that is a good sign of its stability.

The solution is able to handle a large number of vulnerabilities, so it seems to be able to scale well.

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.

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.

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.

At the RSA conference, we receive a lot of promotional items.

The RSA conference does not impact our organization's cybersecurity purchases.

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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.

We have not witnessed any crashing.

The solution works well for us, both on-premises and on the cloud. 

The support has always been the best.

Positive

We've used the solution for ten years. I'm not sure what we used before. 

I was not a part of the initial setup.

We have seen an ROI in terms of flexibility and ease of use. 

The solution is very easy to use. We've used it for a long time. Our team is very familiar with it. Different people, even with different responsibilities, can share. It has helped us free up staff time. 

I'd rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

We can correlate the information and get analytics that helps us be more proactive in terms of minimizing risk on the cloud.

We can integrate the solution very well with various cloud networks, including AWS, Azure, and Google, which is what we are on. 

We are provided with the right information in order to get analytics that will help us be more proactive and minimize exposure to threats. 

The solution is scalable. 

It is easy to set up. 

The solution needs to improve remediation. We need to reduce risk by remediating gaps in security.

You do need to pay extra in order to get better support.

I started working with the solution five years ago.

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.

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.

Neutral

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. 

The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive or overly cheap. It is comparable to other solutions. 

We're a Check Point partner. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

The threat-hunting system provides forensics through machine learning visualization with real-time insights into processes from a multi-cloud environment. 

It has powerful tools that detect any threats in the network infrastructure in advance before it penetrates into our systems. 

It has repulsed many attacks that have been launched by malware attackers that could destroy data. 

The CloudGuard Intelligence provides alerts that prepare the IT team to set up effective measures after detecting threats. 

The product performance has enabled each team to work without fear of any threats.

It provides the most useful tools for protecting our financial account records from hackers. 

The application has boosted security from all the company sources. We have not lost confidential data to external cyber attackers since we deployed this platform. 

Faster responses to malware threats have saved the organization from engaging in insecure transaction losses. 

The product has safeguarded the entire financial system from external interference. 

We used to experience the challenges of data protection before we deployed this application. There are improvements in data management and security with a positive impact on work processes.

The advanced data analytics on the security of the applications has provided effective insights that helped in safeguarding confidential information. 

The intrusion alerts and notifications have saved us a lot of time and resources in enhancing reliable security. 

The comprehensive security from cloud and on-premises has saved data centers from attacks and provides a reliable environment for boosting production. 

Cloud threat intelligence provides useful insights that help in planning effectively during the process of implementing projects and tasks.

The security investigation features that are present have been performing excellently since we deployed this application. There are few licensing and network coverage cases, however, the customer service team is always ready to solve any problem. 

Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime. 

The performance has been stable for a long time since we deployed it. The few hitches which we have experienced can be solved without affecting the workflow performance. 

The Check Point team has done a great job, and I recommend their products to other companies.

I've used the solution for ten months.

This solution has been stable with reliable operations.

I am impressed by its reliable performance, and I recommend it to other business enterprises.

Customer service and support always provide effective guidelines when contacted.

Positive

The other security products that I have worked with had responded poorly which is why we moved to Check Point.

The setup procedure was straightforward.

The implementation was done by the vendor.

There is increased ROI from the product's stable performance.

This platform offers modern security for threats that will arise in any organization.

I evaluated several products. I settled on Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence based on their reliable services.

This is a great and powerful platform for securing organizations from cyber attacks.

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.

This product detects cloud anomalies and immediately quarantines threats to minimize further data damage. 

It enables our team to have full visibility of the security situation surrounding our hosted applications and workloads. Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence has a comprehensive risk assessment system that provides an advanced report on any business engagements. 

The product provides detection and security analysis recommendations that can safeguard cloud infrastructure in case of ransomware attacks. It monitors data flow closely to ascertain and block insecure content.

This platform has improved the cloud security situation in the organization. It provides reliable information that can be used for advanced planning and efficient decision-making. 

The cost of maintaining secure cloud infrastructure has been reduced due to regulated pricing from Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence team. The unified cloud infrastructure monitoring system can monitor data centers with limited resources. 

It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches.

Comprehensive data visualization helps each team to track data and identify threats that can affect the entire workflow. 

Integration with third parties has been successful, and this has saved us costs and time for problem-solving. 

Anomaly detection is highly efficient and more productive with excellent threat prevention tools. 

The customer support staff responds quickly and positively when reached to address any issue affecting operations. 

The UI is user-friendly, and new users can easily learn how it works.

Effects on the network can slow down performance and lead to data leakages that can expose confidential information to cyber attacks. 

The UI can be upgraded to be more presentable and solve most challenges that affect users when there are inefficiencies. 

It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications. 

The majority of the features have been performing efficiently, and we are happy. The development can keep on updating the platform to meet daily changes and organizational demands.

I've used the solution for nine months.

The performance has been stable.

The scalability has been smart, and I am really impressed.

Customer support services are efficient.

Positive

This is the most effective platform I have worked with.

The setup was straightforward.

We implemented it through the vendor team.

There has been increased ROI since we deployed this platform.

The cost and setup are relatively good for most enterprises.

The other options are not as powerful as this solution.

Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence offers excellent cloud network security.
