Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Offers complete detection and simple management and is a user-friendly solution
It's very effective as a solution to prevent mobile app threats. It has a mobile MDX, mobile detection, and response session. As a comprehensive solution, Check Point offers a very granular and best-in-class experience. Compared to competitors like Fortinet, Trend Micro, Palo Alto, and Cisco, Check Point provides a superior solution according to both the MITRE and Gartner frameworks. For example, in a recent attack simulation, Check Point only allowed ten malicious emails through, while Fortinet allowed 1500 and Cisco allowed 1800. Check Point's email attack ratio is nearly 0.10%, while others range from 1% to 3%. This demonstrates Check Point's superior email filtering capabilities. Check Point's email cleaning ratio is 99.9%, significantly higher than the 98%, 95%, or 93% of its competitors. Moreover, Check Point Harmony Email incorporates AI technology within its security features. Harmony Email & Collaboration (HEC) provides full protection and addresses zero-day files. It's the best solution available, as others don't offer protection against zero-day attacks and rely on signature-based solutions. HEC is truly the best option.

It helped us be more aware of what our security posture is, but not all of the features work in my environment
I would say CloudPassage is very useful for certain things. If you just want a few modules then focus on what you need and negotiate the price based on the individual module, rather than looking at the whole thing, because I didn't find all the modules very useful. Also, use Splunk in combination with it if you want reporting. I would give CloudPassage at least a seven out of 10. I rate it on the high-end because of the customer support - I've never seen any support that is comparable to that, it's very good, excellent. The support staff actually care, they actually follow up; it's very nice. And CloudPassage really listens to its customers. The product itself is very nice if you're only looking to check off your compliance requirements, but if you're looking for more of dashboarding and things like that, CloudPassage is improving but it's not quite there.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"We mostly use alerts. That has been pretty good. If we use the alert system from Amazon, it is much costlier to us, so we use PingSafe."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."
"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."
"We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point."
"I appreciate the ease of deployment and the intuitive dashboard. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily understand the dashboard and identify potential threats."
"As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the phishing protection it offers."
"Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure."
"This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection."
"The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature."
"Encryption of emails enhances safe communication that ransomware attacks cannot compromise."
"Key features are the Software Vulnerability Assessment and the CSM, which is the configuration check."
"Policies are very easy to manage on a day-to-day basis."
 

Cons

"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its cost could be a barrier for some users."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"In version 2, a lot of rules have been deployed for Kubernetes security and CDR, which makes a lot of issues of critical severity, whereas they are not critical or of high severity. There is a mismatch of severities. They need to work on severity management."
"They can work on policies based on different compliance standards."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
"Maybe Check Point can work on the DLP part."
"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"Anything outside of the software vulnerability management and the CSM, things like the GhostPort, need some improvement. The dashboard is in beta. It looks really good, I wish it would come out of beta."
"In the CSM module the policies are really hard to work with it. It is not very flexible at all. I would suggest that they change that. Right now, the scan is based on the group that the server is in. What happens if the server is in multiple groups?"
"The reports and graphs are unintuitive."
"Of all the advertised functions, I only find two things that really work in my environment, even though I wanted to use all of them. They're not flexible enough to be used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."
"Usually, we pay for the licensing part on a yearly basis and not on a monthly basis. If Check Point's team is providing a good amount of discount, then it is very easy for us to select it since its competitors are also giving the best prices or best discounts."
"There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."
"As we are a non-profit organization, we got the tool with a good offer. On a yearly basis, we pay 10,000 Euro for 500 users, which also includes the technical support part."
"Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
"The difference between [Check Point and its competitors] boiled down to money. Price-wise, Check Point was very good, it was very competitive."
"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are always negotiable."
"CloudPassage is a little bit on the expensive side. So my suggestion is that the company lower its price point a wee bit or sell modules, separate them in modules, because I only find two things that are useful to me, yet I pay for four or five modules. It didn't seem like it was a fair deal."
"We also evaluated VMware NSX, but the pricing and features available in a CloudPassage implementation were decisive in deciding to go with CP."
