Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 18, 2026

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and AWS Security Hub compete in the cloud security industry. CloudGuard CNAPP seems to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive features and versatile capabilities extending beyond AWS-specific offerings.

Features: Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP provides IAM scanning, compliance checks, and centralized management, which enhance governance and security visibility. AWS Security Hub integrates with AWS services and offers compliance insights, but users perceive it as less comprehensive than CloudGuard CNAPP, focusing more on AWS-specific environments.

Room for Improvement: CloudGuard CNAPP could improve its integration with third-party tools and enhance policy validation before deployment. Users also desire better reporting options and support for more container platforms. AWS Security Hub could benefit from improvements in real-time scanning, non-AWS tool integration, and interface sophistication to enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: CloudGuard CNAPP is praised for its ease of deployment across hybrid environments and strong technical support. In contrast, AWS Security Hub primarily focuses on AWS, potentially limiting its appeal for hybrid users. Its customer service is generally supportive but lacks the consistent highlights CloudGuard CNAPP enjoys.

Pricing and ROI: Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's pricing is higher and complex, based on cloud assets, yet offers significant ROI due to feature richness and time savings. AWS Security Hub is reasonably priced within AWS but focuses on risk mitigation ROI rather than direct cost savings.

Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Boosts security and compliance in multi-cloud environments while real-time threat detection enhances risk management

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP flagged a misconfiguration in our AWS S3 bucket that had overly permissive access settings. That configuration could have exposed our sensitive data to the public internet. The platform not only identified the issue but also provided remediation that our team was able to apply immediately. This prevented a potential data exposure. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers a unified, modular platform that combines CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, code security, and cloud detection and response. The agentless workload posture, real-time threat detection and response, multi-cloud coverage and visibility, compliance automation, and one-click remediations stand out as its best features. I find myself relying on the risk management engine and prioritization the most day-to-day. In any cloud environment, you are flooded with findings, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps. Without prioritization, it is overwhelming for our team to take care of the posture. CloudGuard's risk scoring helps us cut through incidents. This makes remediation faster and focused instead of wasting time checking every alert. We get to fix the issues that pose real business risks. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has positively impacted our organization at a significant level. We get greater visibility and control across all our cloud environments. Some biggest benefits we have seen are faster detection and remediation of misconfigurations, improved compliance posture, reduced risk exposure, operational efficiency, and cost savings. Overall, it has made our cloud environment more secure, compliant, and easier to manage while freeing up our teams to focus on projects instead of chasing alerts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."

"AWS Security Hub's unified dashboard does help streamline my process of identifying vulnerabilities, but we don't use Inspector."

"AWS Security Hub has very good integration features. It allows for AWS native services integration, and it helps us to integrate some of the services outside of AWS. They have partners, such as Amazon Preferred Network Partners (APN). If you have different security tools around APN, we can integrate those findings with AWS Security Hub reducing the need to refer to different portals or different UIs. You can have AWS Security Hub act as a single common go-to dashboard."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."

"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."

"The platform has valuable features for security."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The feature that I value the most about Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is the possibility of checking compliance with different standards. This compliance check can be performed for each subscription or service that we have on all the different cloud providers that we use."

"The valuable features of Checkpoint CloudGuard CNAPP include its automation capabilities."

"The platform's full visibility and control across many cloud environments allows us to effectively monitor the security posture, uncover vulnerabilities, and consistently enforce security standards."

"The cloud security posture management identify the risks that are the most critical to our business. We can define certain key assets that are your crown jewels. And whenever something hits on these crown jewels, you get a very high score. So you can really fine tune towards protecting your risk based assets in the cloud."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"We can monitor each activity from our mobile devices, so there is complete visibility of our cloud traffic flows, with threat intelligence provided by Check Point."

"The identification of misconfigurations, maintenance of compliance in a centralized way, and visibility across all the multi-cloud tenants are the key functionalities."

"The Compliance engine has helped put our auditors and senior executives at ease, as we can quickly and accurately measure ourselves against hundreds of compliance checks to include CIS benchmarks, PCI, and other best practices."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

Cons

"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."

"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."

"The solution will only give you insight if you have configure rule enabled. It should work more like Prisma Cloud and Dome9 which have a better approach."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities. It would be beneficial for Security Hub to implement preventative measures and to directly apply recommendations instead of just suggesting them."

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."

"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."

"The support must be quicker."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"I would like to see improvements in the vulnerability assessments in terms of how the solution discovers vulnerabilities or compromised workloads. Also, customizable reports would be nice."

"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."

"One area that Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP could use improvement is the navigation when switching between modules."

"In Dome9, there should be a policy validation option where we can validate the policy before we push it into production."

"I would like to see some AI on the back-end, just to assist with doing analysis and making recommendations."

"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."

"We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs."

"Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."

"Everything in this field is very expensive."

"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is always known as a good solution but an expensive one. When you're using Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto, you know that you will pay more, but you know that it will work."

"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."

"The license for CloudGuard Posture Management is about $80 a year, and it's based on your cloud footprint, not the number of users. So you could have a million users, and it doesn't matter."

"The licensing part still needs some work. The issue that I have is that we do not use all the services in the cloud, but sometimes, CloudGuard identifies them as an asset."

"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
