I use Armor Anywhere to monitor and secure our workloads running across cloud and hybrid environments.

I use Armor Anywhere to review security posture, alerts, and compliance stages in my day-to-day work. It gives us continuous visibility into vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential threats. The main use case is around cloud workload protection, compliance, and security monitoring.

The best features Armor Anywhere offers are definitely the centralized visibility and managed security layer. Having a single dashboard to see security posture across environments is a big advantage.

The centralized dashboard enables us to get better visibility in a UI form. It also helps with compliance reporting for audits and reviews. Overall, it improves the security posture and reduces operational overhead for the team.

We've seen faster incident response times and fewer false alerts because of the automation and integration. From a compliance standpoint, it has helped us maintain consistent controls and simplified reporting for audits because of the automation.

Overall, Armor Anywhere has helped us improve our overall security posture. It provides a solid, reliable cloud security solution which works across our hybrid environments and on-premises as well. It has provided us a good balance of compliance and monitoring, simplified our security across environments, while giving us great visibility on all things.

There is not much to dislike about Armor Anywhere, but the dashboard could be more customizable for different team roles.

The customizable nature is missing to some extent for different team roles. Additionally, more granular reporting filters would have been great for investigation purposes.

I do not think we used any other solution before Armor Anywhere. In the first place, we were just looking for some alternatives.

We did evaluate other options before choosing Armor Anywhere. One was Prisma Cloud or something similar. There were also some other native AWS security services. However, these tools have strong individual features, but Armor Anywhere stood out because it combines many other features into a single platform. That is why we went with this.

We did purchase Armor Anywhere through the AWS Marketplace. It was implemented by a team first. I am not entirely sure about all the details because it is handled by some people in my team. Overall, it was good and pretty worth it.

We have had a lot of savings in terms of time, efforts, and faster response times because of better visibility with Armor Anywhere. I do not have any specific metrics, but overall efforts were reduced by approximately 25%. Overall, it has made our lives simpler.

We are just a customer of Armor Anywhere.

I would definitely recommend Armor Anywhere for anyone who is going for it because overall it is a solid, secure, reliable cloud security solution that works across all hybrid environments or on-premises environments as well. I would recommend it to organizations looking for unified security visibility with managed support. This review has a rating of 9.

My main use case for Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has been securing cloud network traffic, and I mainly rely on it to protect workloads in the cloud and enforce consistent security policies across cloud environments.

A quick example of how I use Check Point CloudGuard Network Security to protect my cloud workloads is by inspecting inbound traffic to public-facing services; recently, it blocked suspicious scans and unauthorized access attempts before they could reach my cloud applications.

The best features Check Point CloudGuard Network Security offers include cloud-native threat prevention that inspects traffic in real time, consistent policy enforcement across multi-cloud environments, and automation and integration with cloud platforms for easier deployment.

The feature that made the biggest difference for me is the real-time threat prevention because it stops malicious traffic and risky behavior before it ever reaches my cloud workloads. This has significantly reduced actual incidents and false positives that I need to chase.

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing successful attacks and risky cloud traffic, meaning fewer incidents reach production systems. It has also cut down the time my team spends troubleshooting threats, letting us focus more on proactive cloud security, which has freed up my time.

Since deploying Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, I have seen about a 40% drop in cloud network alerts, which has cut down noise and false positives, helping my team save roughly 25% of time previously spent on manual investigation and threat cleanup.

I think the initial setup of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security can be simpler; onboarding could be more intuitive for new cloud teams, and it could also have more flexible custom reporting and better documentation examples.

I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security for about a year.

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is stable.

The scalability of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has been very good; it handles growth in workloads and traffic smoothly, and the policies scale across accounts without performance issues.

I think the customer support for Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has been responsive and helpful.

I previously relied mainly on AWS Native security controls, and I switched to Check Point CloudGuard Network Security because I needed stronger threat prevention, better visibility, and centralized policy management, as the AWS Native security controls were too limited for me, necessitating a solution with greater visibility.

I think the initial setup of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security can be simpler; onboarding could be more intuitive for new cloud teams, and it could also have more flexible custom reporting and better documentation examples.

I have seen a return on investment from Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, with a clear impact reflected in a 40% reduction in cloud network alerts and about 25% less time spent by my team on manual investigations and threat analysis. This means less operational overhead and more time for proactive cloud projects, translating to measurable cost savings and better efficiency overall.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point CloudGuard Network Security was a bit complex to map out at first; the setup cost was fair, especially through the AWS Marketplace, though planning the right license levels took some initial effort, so overall, it feels like good value for the level of cloud protection I get.

I evaluated other solutions, including Palo Alto, the AWS Native Controls, and Fortinet.

Compared to Palo Alto, AWS Native Controls, and Fortinet, Check Point CloudGuard Network Security was easier to integrate with my AWS environment and roll out consistent policies across accounts, so the day-to-day ops felt quicker. Compared to AWS Native, it is more feature-rich, and versus Palo Alto, it is similar in capability but slightly friendlier for multi-cloud automation.

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security provides me with unified security management across my cloud and hybrid environments, and having a single console for policies and visibility simplifies operations, reduces errors, and makes it much easier to manage security consistently as I scale.

I utilize Check Point CloudGuard Network Security alongside other Check Point products like Check Point Quantum Force and Harmony Endpoints, which integrate through a shared management and threat intelligence layer, giving me consistent visibility and protection across cloud, network, and endpoints.

My advice to others looking into using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is to plan your cloud architecture and policies early and start with a phased rollout.

I would rate Check Point CloudGuard Network Security an eight on a scale of one to ten because I think there is always room to be better.
