Helps identify vulnerabilities, is easy to use, and improves our risk posture
I would rate the ease of use a seven out of ten. The Proof of exploitability in evidence-based reporting helps us during our investigations. The IaC scanning helps identify preproduction issues. By analyzing alerts from various channels against our defined security policies, Singularity Cloud Security significantly reduces false positives. This allows our team to focus on real threats, and when a rare false positive does occur, we can quickly notify the security team to refine the relevant policy. Our false positives have been reduced by over 80 percent. It has improved our risk posture. Singularity Cloud Security has improved our mean time to detect by 20 percent and has improved our remediation time by allowing us to see the details of the vulnerabilities in one place. Singularity Cloud Security has saved our engineers around 25 minutes of time.

Get great visibility into vulnerabilities through micro-segmentation
Predominantly I have been working with firewalls and the UTM (Unified Threat Management) solutions for some time. Guardicore has to do something to add on features that help to do a better job of inspection. They should have policies based on users. Often we can only add user groups. I think they should offer the ability to assign policies to individual users. The ability to assign policies to both users and groups would make the area of creating policies more flexible. They should also have time-based rules in the policies which they currently do not have. They should also get into payload-level inspection. As of now, what they do for threat inspection is to look at the metadata of a packet. This is not in depth enough for proper inspection. They need to start inspecting the payload-level information of a packet or offer this as an option. So they should have payload-level inspections to do some deep investigation. Then they should have more user-level control of policies. I think if these two things are introduced, then I could probably change my rating of Guardicore to a nine-out-of-ten.

The invisible, multi-layer security enables full-suite protection for cloud collaboration solutions
We use Harmony Email & Collaboration to prevent malicious emails from reaching inboxes, guarding against the attacks of threat actors. We have also enabled a data leakage policy based on our client's needs, with hundreds of predefined and custom data types. Below are the security elements of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is very good."
"The user-friendly dashboard offers both convenience and security by providing quick access to solutions and keeping us informed of potential threats."
"The remediation process is good."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great."
"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."
"The first most remarkable thing is the integration with the Office 365 solution, which is easy, fast, and totally transparent for the user."
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"Its analysis or emulation in the review of each file using the cloud and Check Point helps make each interaction via email more secure."
"Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."
"This product enhances faster and more secure sharing of information among colleagues from different departments."
"The API is its most valuable feature. On the API side, relative to the rest of the market, Check Point is decades ahead of its competitors."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."
"The cost has the potential for improvement."
"For vulnerabilities, they are showing CVE ID. The naming convention should be better so that it indicates the container where a vulnerability is present. Currently, they are only showing CVE ID, but the same CVE ID might be present in multiple containers. We would like to have the container name so that we can easily fix the issue."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"We repeatedly get alerts on the tool dashboard that we've already solved on our end, but they still appear. That is somewhat irritating."
"I want PingSafe to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, PingSafe is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If PingSafe had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"We don't get any notifications from PingSafe when the clusters are down."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult."
"Check Point needs to address the pricing segment for SMEs."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"The integration with Gsuite could be improved, especially when reporting the amount of emails it manages to filter."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."
"GuardiCore has made some new changes to the license now. We've seen monthly and annual licenses based on a subscription. We have a few clients that pay anywhere from $25,000 a year."
"The solution is reasonably priced and I would rate it a six out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The customer would complain about the cost."
"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"Guardicore Centra provides better value for money than NSX, was the other solution that we looked at, which was too expensive for what it does."
"The pricing is too high."
"This is not a cheap solution but you have to consider the bigger picture, which is what it is giving you."
"Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is expensive."
"Reasonable cost, quick and easy implementation, and transparent."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I'm in this business as a system integrator, so I need to suggest Check Point to some customers who are comparing products. I sell Check Point, Fortinet, and Palo Alto solutions. In terms of licensing, this solution is quite competitive but very costly. For someone looking at security as a primary concern, they should only invest in Check Point. For a customer who is looking at security combined with pricing, Check Point might not be the core solution for them. In today's market, customers are looking for effective security with efficient pricing, and Check Point is not suitable for these types of customers."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"The difference between [Check Point and its competitors] boiled down to money. Price-wise, Check Point was very good, it was very competitive."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The product is expensive."
