Robust, complete, and offers good visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment."
  • "It should have some options to activate API calls to the platform in the cloud, another improvement would be that when the rules are colonized and they want to be published."

What is our primary use case?

We pull all of our cloud platforms into Microsoft Azure. We needed a tool that would provide us with provides policy compliance to be able to monitor our environment. In the case something is in violation of one of those rules, it will let us know and we can correct it. 

It is also very flexible to configure users, and authentication methods and thus be able to control the activities of each of the system administrators and users, another one of the functionalities it presents is that it allows us to monitor the records of our environment in the Azure Cloud and be able to take the necessary measures if there is a problem..

How has it helped my organization?

One of the reasons we were able to implement this solution is that it gives us complete visibility into the workload that we have hosted on our Microsoft Azure platform. This tool came to help improve our security environment in the cloud and provide more detail through reports such as compliance and security, as it shows us complete visibility of the traffic that is flowing to our Azure platform.

Another reason we implemented it and it caught our attention was the access control to our Azure cloud. Every time a policy is created for each purpose, it immediately blocks the access for which it was designed. Dome9 provides excellent visibility.

What is most valuable?

Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management presents great values, such as the IAM role control, since if it does not meet the established parameters, these controls will not allow the creation of users, and policies that are not allowed.

It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment. 

It also has and provides the ability to provide recommendations of the errors that exist and thus be able to correct them as soon as possible

What needs improvement?

The service is very complete for the functionality that it was created for, however, they can make a couple of improvements such as the validation of policies that must be available before they are implemented in the production environment. It should have some options to activate API calls to the platform in the cloud, another improvement would be that when the rules are colonized and they want to be published. They do not update as they should and the new rules are not applied. They can also try to reduce the false positives generated by the tool.

Pros and Cons
  • "Visibility is a key feature. It helps me to validate my overall network posture."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use CloudGuard CNAPP to verify the posture management of our cloud gateway.

    How has it helped my organization?

    CloudGuard CNAPP helps us improve security, verify vulnerabilities, and understand overall network behaviors. It helps us to have greater visibility of the posture and the gateways that are in the cloud. It also helps us to see where the gaps are and how the attack levels are.

    CloudGuard CNAPP helps us a lot in being able to identify erroneous configurations or configurations that may not be as per the standard that we use internally or as per an international standard.

    CloudGuard CNAPP's Cloud Security Posture Management identifies the risks that are most critical to our business. In some cases, we could identify that our posture level dropped, and we were able to identify what we needed. We were able to make adjustments to be able to have an adequate level of protection.

    We use CloudGuard CNAPP's CloudGuard Workload Protection capabilities. We have several gateways, and within them, or between our clouds, we are protecting everything, such as servers and containers. In this way, we maintain complete protection, and logically, we have visibility into everything that enters and leaves our premises and our cloud.

    The scanning provided by CloudGuard Workload Protection helps us identify problems before they go live.

    What is most valuable?

    Visibility is a key feature. It helps me to validate my overall network posture.

    Agentless, fast, and precise
    Pros and Cons
    • "It has great scalability."
    • "They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well."

    What is our primary use case?

    As an organization, we have implemented Azure Microsoft and AWS for some applications. Most of the workloads are managed in the cloud. Therefore we needed a tool that could protect us against some type of cyber threat that would generate losses in the apps that are being used. We apply CloudGuard Workload that comes to us to cover all those security breaches that we could see presenting. In the beginning, we used the free trial to do some tests, and it worked for what we needed it for, and then we acquired it with all the functionalities

    How has it helped my organization?

    CloudGuard Workload Protection came to help us a lot in the organization in the application development part since it is one of the areas where there is more workflow and vital generation of the company since applications are generated and modified daily. With this tool, IT came to us to help provide a series of security layers to all these flows by providing us with different types of security options such as alerts and improvements. One of the characteristics that we liked very much is that it can be coupled with different public clouds.

    What is most valuable?

    One of the CloudGuard Workload Protection features that we liked a lot is the security it handles in containers. 

    Another interesting thing is that it works without an agent involved. 

    It also offers great complete visibility of all devices, and assets in the cloud, which allows us to control all those assets, thus generating complete analysis of the infrastructure in real-time. In this way, we've been able to attack the points where there is some vulnerability in our infrastructure and being able to be at the forefront of security.

    What needs improvement?

    It cost us a little to find some information about CloudGuard Workload Protection. It cost us to find information about the tool and recommendations.

    The configuration administration documentation is not very available on the web, or it is not completely updated. They should also improve the support so that we can create a case and they can respond faster. They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well. It is sometimes difficult to coordinate support hours. 

    They do not provide a concrete and rapid solution which causes security implementations to be delayed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    The solution was implemented a¿twoo ago.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    So far, the stability of the product has remained excellent. We have not presented any failures.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It has great scalability. It's very fast and precise.

    How are customer service and support?

    The support offered by Check Point in general is very regular.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    No other solution has been implemented.

    How was the initial setup?

    Like all setup-type software, it is very easy to install.

    What about the implementation team?

    The implementation was done in conjunction with a support team from the company and the supplier.

    What was our ROI?

    The implementation of a security tool is always an excellent investment. One thing outweighs the other.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The installation of the product is very reliable, and fast, and it is a very competitive cost in the market.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Check Point was the first solution we used. It was recommended by third parties.

    What other advice do I have?

    It is a very complete tool for workflows. It provides excellent security.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    Has great support and helped us analyze the security of our Azure environment
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable feature is the separate environment."
    • "The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management to increase our visibility into our environment and ensure that our policies are being followed.

    How has it helped my organization?

    The solution has helped us analyze the security of our Azure environment. Trend Micro and Check Point analyze the Azure environment with our tenants and clients to check for security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. We need to correct these problems and alert our team and clients of any issues. The solution also compares these actions between two applications.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature is the separate environment. In the testing environment, we can have Client A, Client B, and Client C. We can check this information in one portal. It is possible to separate access to this information for my clients to review.

    What needs improvement?

    The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management for three months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I give the stability a nine out of ten.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support is great.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is straightforward.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The license fee is high.

    CloudGuard Intelligence - Infinity Portal
    Pros and Cons
    • "The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way."

      What is our primary use case?

      We required a tool for our Microsoft Azure environment to validate and find threats under machine learning, forensic validations, and extremely important reports for the company to determine possible vulnerabilities and change the infrastructure to improve the security posture of our public cloud environment.

      We also needed an environment that could show us monitoring and dashboards of value to improve our security easily.

      One of the most important details to monitor is the network in our infrastructure, based on those requirements, we look for a tool, in this case, Check Point.

      How has it helped my organization?

      The Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence tool helped us perfectly with the search for a cloud security posture for our environments and security in the Microsoft Azure cloud, a centralized environment, and has great features within the tool, such as forensic analysis. In case of any vulnerability, we had to determine what happened.

      As for the reports, we could help determine what happened, valuable details which allowed us to generate greater security according to the values shown.

      What is most valuable?

      The most important features that we like in Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence are the centralization of the security environment within the Check Point Infinity Portal, which already has other security tools that we have and that can also be managed from this site.

      Forensic analysis is one of the features we liked a lot since it is easy to understand and helps us improve security.

      The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way.

      What needs improvement?

      Something that needs to be improved little by little in tools like Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence is the lowering of costs as some customers can't buy such a solution. They could also sell it based on various versions for different customers and various business needs.

      It is also important to improve performance issues at the Infinity Portal level, which is sometimes slow, yet not always.

      We would like there to be more public documentation to generate implementations with best practices.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      We started using the application no more than a year ago. It's excellent for the analysis of the public cloud infrastructure.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      This is a really stable solution.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      The solution is incredibly scalable and managed by Check Point Infinity Portal infrastructure.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      We had never used or known a tool like Check Point CloudGuard.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      The best option is to have a partner who helps them with support in addition to helping with cost issues since pricing is not public.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      We always value various issues such as centralized environments, costs, and support, among other details to make the best decision. Even so, with this validation, the best option for our company is Check Point.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      Hybrid Cloud

      Excellent dashboards - automations
      Pros and Cons
      • "The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."
      • "The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."

      What is our primary use case?

      Our developers work in our Microsoft Azure public cloud environment, where they build applications and app service sites. These developments did not always avoid vulnerabilities, so we required a tool to guarantee that these environments complied with robust security measures to avoid attacks including identity theft, and denial of services, among others. We needed to protect from damage to the operation or hijacking of our data which would prevent the internal operation of the company. Thanks to this tool, we could cover ourselves and our environment safely.

      How has it helped my organization?

      The importance of having a security tool for our developers' workloads; most of the time, our apps services use identities to log in against databases, generating a possible loss of data and credentials. 

      Thanks to Check Ppoint CloudGuard Workload Protection, we were able to provide assessments to verify security problems, best practices, and changes that were listed from the solution portal to be able to correct them both automatically and manually, achieving safe environments.

      What is most valuable?

      Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection is a very important tool for the company and developers. The characteristic that caught our attention the most was that it is a native solution and was created for cloud application protection that was automated.

      This solution not only provides recommendations or best practices for applications that are already finished or productive. However, we can protect from the beginning of development to testing and production, having recommendations and improvements throughout the process.

      The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security.

      What needs improvement?

      Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection is a very powerful, comprehensive, centralized tool but also a very expensive solution. It is worth it, however, it is not available to everyone.

      The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes.

      There is little documentation for the implementation and start-up of some configurations. They could improve the public documentation to be able to generate the help that the client requires to be able to generate the correct and effective provisioning.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      This is an excellent security tool for the workload of the company's internal developers; we have used this technology in the last year with very encouraging results.

      What do I think about the stability of the solution?

      I really like the solution.

      What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

      This product offers excellent availability; its scaling is managed by the manufacturer.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      A centralized tool with the potential of Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection is not found in other manufacturers. We have not had such a solid and secure solution.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      The recommendation is always to have a provider or a partner that can generate and answer all questions about the solutions and provide costs and analysis to see if the solutions are what the company needs.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      Before implementing this solution, we validated solutions from other manufacturers such as Fortinet and Cisco. However, the benefits provided by Check Point exceeded the validations, and we chose CloudGuard.

      What other advice do I have?

      It is an excellent security tool for dev departments and the entire company.

      Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

      Multicloud posture and review, modern, and backed by all checkpoint security.
      Pros and Cons
      • "The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
      • "The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete."

      What is our primary use case?

      It helped us a lot in improving the regulations and security of our cloud environments.


      We still manage an on-premise environment, however, many companies at the beginning believe that the cloud is invulnerable or that the manufacturer must ensure everything, which is not correct. With this implementation, it is possible to improve all current cloud security.

      In the company I work for, it was implemented to be able to have governance in addition to good practices in our Microsoft Azure environment. It's a somewhat expensive tool, however, it is worth it to be able to solve all those improvements and avoid so many modern vulnerabilities, which have their point in cloud attacks.

      How has it helped my organization?

      As in our company we have environments that are hybrid in some cases and others totally cloud. We find in Check Point a reliable tool to improve security, implement regulations, and generate governance in cloud environments. In our case, we have a Microsoft Azure public cloud with enough resources which we need to protect. We achieved it together with  Check Point.

      It was possible to provide greater security to identities with admin access to the cloud - a critical part of IT management.

      What is most valuable?

      The most striking features are:

      1- Identity protection generated through Check Point posture management, which is helping to prevent user theft or unauthorized access.

      2- The governance that can be provided with this tool is very good since we have been able to implement good practices to avoid vulnerabilities.

      3- The administration portal panel is very intuitive. It also generates scores based on regulations and good practices to go little by little with the recommendations, significantly improving security.

      What needs improvement?

      Some general improvement characteristics can be made, including the following:

      1- Cost improvement. Some tools are quite expensive, and some non-equal manufacturers offer more comfortable capabilities at the cost level.

      2- The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete. Following them sometimes the task of implementing under the best practices of the manufacturer is not achieved.

      3- Many Check Point guides are only available to partners and not to the general public. They can make a better impression by having them public and thereby helping the client.

      For how long have I used the solution?

      It's an excellent tool and is available in the Infinity Check Point Portal. Its main function is to centralize governance in the same administration portal and has been tested for more than a year to validate our cloud security.

      Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

      Previously we used only Microsoft with Defender for Cloud. However, we wanted to have our security centralized. Check Point through the infinity portal achieves that feature.

      What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

      It's very important to have a reliable and good partner. The proactivity helps us to see the existing needs and check with Check Point what characteristics are required.

      Which other solutions did I evaluate?

      We chose Check Point as it provides integrated and centralized security, improving the effectiveness of security reviews.

      What other advice do I have?

      Even though the cost is somewhat expensive. I recommend this solution for users who use the public cloud.
