Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Reviews

We started to use Check Point as a firewall. That's what it was for. Now we use it for all the endpoint security, cloud security, and API endpoint security. That's probably our major use case. 

The solution has improved our organization by allowing us to be more flexible and deploy changes much more quickly. Since it gives us an audit trail, it's much easier for us to track or change things.

The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature. When we have to block something, the screens we have in front of us are really good. They are very user-friendly, and the processes are quick. That's something we've really liked from the beginning. 

Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on.

In a future release, we'd like to have the ability to see if there is abnormal data being transferred. We'd like to see more features coming through that allow us to act more proactively and act against vulnerabilities effectively.

I've used the solution for a long time. I've been with my company for more than ten years, and over that time, I've been using it. We've been using Check Point from on-premises deployments to the cloud.

We have not witnessed any crashing.

The solution works well for us, both on-premises and on the cloud. 

The support has always been the best.

Positive

We've used the solution for ten years. I'm not sure what we used before. 

I was not a part of the initial setup.

We have seen an ROI in terms of flexibility and ease of use. 

The solution is very easy to use. We've used it for a long time. Our team is very familiar with it. Different people, even with different responsibilities, can share. It has helped us free up staff time. 

I'd rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

We can correlate the information and get analytics that helps us be more proactive in terms of minimizing risk on the cloud.

We can integrate the solution very well with various cloud networks, including AWS, Azure, and Google, which is what we are on. 

We are provided with the right information in order to get analytics that will help us be more proactive and minimize exposure to threats. 

The solution is scalable. 

It is easy to set up. 

The solution needs to improve remediation. We need to reduce risk by remediating gaps in security.

You do need to pay extra in order to get better support.

I started working with the solution five years ago.

The solution is scalable. However, the issue is when you buy the license, you buy the quantity of data to do the intelligence, not to keep the data stored on the cloud. We pay to correlate one terabyte of information for only one month.

We don't open a lot of tickets for support. You do need to pay extra for support. If you pay more, you get faster answers. You get a lot more attention if you pay.

Neutral

The initial setup is very straightforward. I don't have to do any tuning or configuration for it to work. You just need to enable it. 

The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive or overly cheap. It is comparable to other solutions. 

We're a Check Point partner. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We required a centralized, modern, and easy-to-use tool. After validating the technology of the available security applications, we found the correct tool in Check Point CloudGuard.

It helped us with the security posture to follow best practices. The recommendations and the automated implementations are through a multi-cloud portal that was easily linked with the cloud that we manage. All those previous virtues plus an effective dashboard full of graphs have helped us with decision making. It's been very helpful for the company's security requirements.

We have been able to comply with the recommendations and improvements in our cloud infrastructure using this product.

Thanks to the best practices recommended in the CloudGuard Posture Management, we were able to provide an incredible layer of security to our Microsoft Azure environment. We required a great layer of security to be able to certify ourselves with security regulations.

Also, all its reports are very useful to be able to carry out good work of improvements and avoid vulnerability within the multi-cloud perimeter.

Another requirement was not to have different security environments. The CloudGuard Posture Management correctly met the business needs.

We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment.

In addition, its centralized portal, which showcases multiple security solutions in one place, is very helpful.

Another feature that we really liked is the score function for improvements and good practices. You can take a security posture that complies with regulations or company policies.

Areas that can be improved are few. However, some can be mentioned, such as the costs for this solution going down a bit. Not all clients, despite the great power of the tool, can afford it.

The support must be more effective. Sometimes they take several days to resolve an issue. However, it must be mentioned, they always resolve it correctly.

Finally, I think that the solution meets all expectations but can also improve the performance of the administrator portal a little so that it does not sometimes stop.

This is a very good cloud tool and has been used in the last quarter with surprising results.

We have witnessed very good performance with the solution.

The solution offers excellent performance.

We have not found a more centralized, powerful, or complete solution than Check Point Cloud Guard Posture Management, neither before nor now.

It is essential to validate the costs and have a good representative for Check Point that can provide security in the tools. They need to be able to understand your needs as clients.

We continuously evaluate various options and manufacturers, however, on its own merits, the Check Point solution became our first choice.

It's an excellent tool that is a bit expensive yet worth it.

This solution is part of a robust and great security tool from Check Point, which through its multi-cloud, CloudGuard has this feature to further strengthen this great solution.

In our case, this characteristic helps us to be able to be more prepared in the face of threats. Its artificial intelligence identifies threats and has great machine learning, which further strengthens the tool.

In addition to their forensic analysis in the event of any irregularity, they strengthen and facilitate audits. All of this helps to improve security postures and best practices for the cloud.

CheckPoint CloudGuard, in addition to its intelligence and advanced search for threats, helps us with many forensic analyses in the event of any irregularity. It strengthens and facilitates audits as well. All of this helps to improve security postures and good practices for the cloud, which is important due to possible and future security regulations that we want to adopt.

On the other hand, it facilitates alerts and the monitoring of threats in real-time. Its integration with SIEM tools has given us a greater vision of what is happening in our environment.

The most valuable features include:

I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English in order to have easier contact with Check Point support. This would make management easier.

The costs of latest cloud solutions are very expensive. Some of them are only for large companies, and they should make cost improvements.

Response times for support or problem cases sometimes take a long time to be addressed.

The documentation can be easier with more public documents and accessibility to the client. Currently, it is difficult to find documentation for new products.

This is an excellent tool and we've used it in the last year within the CloudGuard platform in the Infinity Portal.

For solutions as complete as this multi-cloud, we had not been able to test.

We always carry out concept tests with partners first to uncover cost validation, among other aspects, before making a decision.

Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management has helped us a lot with generating a more secure public cloud. It tries to verify and apply improvements in order to seek to avoid vulnerabilities in environments such as Azure.

The tool is really robust. It allows us, through evaluations, to verify our compliance, detecting and correcting it in a timely manner.

The integration with the intelligence tool helps us a lot to detect and prevent threats in a timely and effective manner.

At a business level, Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management helps us a lot with the management, security, control, and prevention of cyber threats in multi-cloud environments. In our case, our environments are both in Microsoft Azure and local environments.

Another great help is in identity. It helps us to manage your protection in a timely manner. Compliance evaluations are great for all security.

In addition, the Check Point Infinity Portal is quite good and centralized.

The key features of Check Point CloudGuard Posture are:

• The ability to provide automated compliance checks.
• Helps identify and correct misconfigurations in cloud environments, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are secure and optimized.
• Provides visibility into cloud infrastructure, applications, and security posture.
• Automates security policies and remediation actions to ensure cloud environments remain secure and compliant.               

Some CloudGuard Check Point positions are not required by the company, however, if we do not apply it, it affects our score.

The support SLA is not met. Sometimes they don't seem to like solving cloud issues or modern security applications.

The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive. It must be validated first before purchasing it. 

We used the solution for our public cloud environment with Azure, over the last year.

I've used the solution for eight months.

This solution is stable.

I am impressed by the performance.

The customer service support staff is reliable.

Positive

I have not used a similar solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It was implemented by the vendor.

There is increased ROI from a great performance.

The setup cost and licensing terms are always good.

This is the best platform that I have worked with.

This is a great solution for any organization.

We wanted to protect, analyze, and detect issues within the infrastructure that we have taken to the cloud. We were looking for ways that we can analyze and introduce a more complete internal forensic analysis so that if an intrusion did not happen, we could have a visualization in which we could be constantly learning how to detect and ee anomalies and provide analysis for detection in real-time. 

We needed a solution that could handle analysis and offer automated detection with process intelligence. We were interested in threat prevention in real-time to help us detect anomalies, attempts, and atypical actions in any of the activities of the teams or users. The goal was to take advantage of that learning and detection. Machine learning supervises and analyzes in an advanced way everything that is happening in the cloud. It works within any type of cloud and can be integrated more so if we want to migrate or scale tomorrow, we can carry out this detection automatically.

The solution learns day by day. It learns from behavior, attacks, management, detections, captures packets, real-time analysis, et cetera. It's generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis. 

This allows us to move faster and have more efficient responses to incidents. It provides alerts for all these types of activities, achieving more objective management for packet capture and a combination of activities within the cloud environment.

I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now. We'd like to have more defined control when implementing intelligent analysis on the cloud. We'd like to extend analysis not just to crowds but to local teams for more granular analysis and advanced searchability.

I've used the solution for about a year and a bit.

We needed to establish a security posture under certain requirements. We needed to protect infrastructure as a service and our software as a service platform in each of our environments for the development and implementation of the cloud. 

We needed to provision instantaneous computing infrastructure and administration through the Internet. Management and security was the initial requirement, with more requirements being established. We were seeking a baseline that was provided to us by a security expert that would allow us to identify and remediate security risks and evaluate monitoring automation. We needed a solution that could prevent the company from being violated when implementing and managing a new configuration.

The solution give us compliance and offered continuous evaluation of the policies that were established. We managed to automatically generate tools for the detection and resolution of compliance and managed to establish supervision of the operations, including the management of each incident which involves identifying risks and qualifying in order to be able to share any news or updates. This allowed us to be more proactive, complete, and precise. 

The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have. It has helped resolve several security incidents that we previously had, and we could not see since previously we did not have a solution that allowed us to quickly and safely manage each one of the activities. With Check Point, we can now map incidents and see how the security teams work to verify the integrity of the systems.  

When it comes to validating the power, security, implementation, and management, I would like to also have the capacity more easily on-premise as well as the cloud. Some problems have been found in analysis at the time of execution, and local install revision agents have generated management incompatibility. It is important to evaluate the applications that are on-site since they are needed in the organization. We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs.

I've used the solution for approximately nine months.
