Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 12, 2025

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and AWS Security Hub are two products competing in the cloud security category. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP appears to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive features and adaptability across multi-cloud environments.

Features: Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers comprehensive compliance checks, effective cloud-native application protection, and significant automation capabilities with tools like CloudBots for auto-remediation. It delivers excellent visibility and control across multi-cloud environments. AWS Security Hub is highly valued for its seamless integration with AWS services, ensuring native compatibility and comprehensive alerts about potential compliance issues within AWS environments.

Room for Improvement: Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP users seek enhanced third-party integrations, better documentation, and more customization options for security policies. AWS Security Hub could improve in areas such as real-time scanning, customization of compliance checks, and open-source integrations to enhance its adaptability for multi-cloud settings.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is praised for its flexible deployment options supporting various cloud types and its ease of integration into existing infrastructures. Its responsive customer service provides knowledgeable support. AWS Security Hub, being AWS-native, offers straightforward integration within AWS environments but lacks the multi-cloud flexibility that CloudGuard CNAPP provides. It requires more integration knowledge for hybrid environments, though customer support remains effective.

Pricing and ROI: Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP positions itself on the higher end of the pricing spectrum but reports strong ROI through enhanced security visibility and reduced compliance risks. AWS Security Hub is considered reasonably priced with pay-as-you-go models, offering cost-effective solutions for AWS-focused organizations but with a more indirect ROI, as it enhances security primarily within AWS.

Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency

The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I like that AWS Security Hub currently has several good features, around four or five. The technical support for AWS Security Hub is also responsive."

"AWS Security Hub's unified dashboard does help streamline my process of identifying vulnerabilities, but we don't use Inspector."

"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."

"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."

"Within AWS Security Hub, there is a feature for aggregating and prioritizing security findings which allows for better risk prioritization based on misconfiguration, as they know AWS thoroughly."

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."

"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature."

"Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly."

"The valuable features of Checkpoint CloudGuard CNAPP include its automation capabilities."

"Most of the features are pretty valuable, whether that's a description of the attacks or the attack graph showing the vulnerabilities. If a single tool does all this work, the value is centralizing all these functions on a single tool. These are the cloud-native applications we talk about — containers, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure — and all those things are the primary focus of the CNAPP solution."

"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks."

"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."

"Overall, it provides good security."

"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

Cons

"It's not user-friendly. Too much going on, too many unnecessary findings, not very visual. You can't do much compared to other similar tools that are cheaper and better."

"The solution will only give you insight if you have configure rule enabled. It should work more like Prisma Cloud and Dome9 which have a better approach."

"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."

"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."

"AWS Security Hub should improve the time it takes to update. It takes a long period of time when updating. It can take 24 hours sometimes to update. Additionally, when integrating this solution with more security tools, takes time."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"Integration could be improved."

"Down the road, we would like to see automation. That is probably a feature that most people want. If they can automate patching a vulnerability, it will be much easier."

"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."

"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."

"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."

"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."

"Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime."

"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"The licensing part still needs some work. The issue that I have is that we do not use all the services in the cloud, but sometimes, CloudGuard identifies them as an asset."

"The pricing is extremely competitive."

"The license for CloudGuard Posture Management is about $80 a year, and it's based on your cloud footprint, not the number of users. So you could have a million users, and it doesn't matter."

"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."

"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."

"CloudGuard is fairly priced."

"I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."

"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
