"The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is the single dashboard that enables us to manage the entire cloud environment from one place."
"The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed. The solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard."
"It is easy to administer and easy to deploy. It has automated or pre-configured templates, security features, and proactive threat detection."
"We like the ability to investigate, analyze, and generate reports."

"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"The biggest thing is the documentation aspect of Dome9 is a little lacking. They were purchased by Check Point about a year and a half to two years ago. When they integrated into Check Point's support system, a lot of the documentation that they had previously got mangled in the transition, e.g., linking to stuff on the Dome9 website that no longer exists. There are still a lot of spaces with incomplete links and stuff that is not as fully explained as it could be."
"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."

"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."

"The solution is expensive."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."

"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
