"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"We are able to create a report which shows the PCI DSS scoring and share it with the application teams. Then, they can correlate and see exactly what they need to fix, and why."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."

"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"We have had issues during upgrades where their scans worked on some apps better with previous versions. Then, we had to work with their tech support, who were great, to get it fixed for the next version."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"We want to see how much bandwidth usage it consumes. When we monitor traffic we have issues with the consumption and throttling of the traffic."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"The trial version should be extended further so that QA test engineers can actually test the utilities in a real sense and can provide the maximum amount of feedback for enhancements."
"In terms of features, I do not have any negatives. Their integration is extremely quick. It is better than others I have been involved with in the past. Their pricing model, however, can be better."
"I have encountered issues with Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's technical support. It also has missing configuration features."
"CloudGuard could improve in areas such as ease of integration with Fortinet and reducing costs associated with deployment in cloud environments like Azure."
"They need improved latency in the main window."
"It doesn't detect user activity like some of its competitors. It's not a vulnerability, but it's a legitimate activity that it doesn't detect. It only detects vulnerabilities or misconfigurations."
