We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Check Point CloudGuard Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud and Data Center Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"The product enables us to check the information that goes out of the company."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
"We like the GSL Builder feature. When you're running a security operations center, you spend a lot of time monitoring endpoint activity to ensure there is no malicious traffic or anonymous access in the environment. The GSL Builder is helpful for deep investigations of a particular reason for an incident. You can use it to get more information."
"Good interface and visibility."
"Auto remediation is a very effective feature that helps ensure less manual intervention."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"Customers appreciate the CME plugin for automatically understanding assets within the cloud. This information appears in the manager, allowing users to tag the assets and adjust policies and rules accordingly."
"The most valuable features are the VPN Blade, IPS Blade, the URL filtering, and the Applications Control Blade."
"I like the tool's ability to manage cloud traffic locally without routing it through our data centers."
"It is dynamic and agile, and its features and utilities continuously improve and evolve."
"The most valuable feature for us is the scale set, which allows us to scale horizontally, vertically and dynamically depending on the traffic load."
"Its centralized control, ease of use, and flexibility are the most valuable for our data center security."
"We have found the overall functionality of the product to be exactly similar to the physical product. The one good advantage is that it is cloud-based and can be deployed either as a part of a scale set or one can shut down the virtual machine and adjust the physical parameters of the virtual machine easily and bring it right back up."
"It's a high-performance device. The network performance is also really good. We check how much time it takes for the servers. Our network performance has increased since using this solution."
"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."
"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point."
"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."
"Their service needs improvement."
"Documentation might become too complex or too spread out, especially for newcomers."
"There is room for improvement regarding the technical support provided."
"The deployment phase takes too much time."
"It can be difficult to install properly without prior training"
"The solution lacks the capability to scale effectively."
"At CPX, we heard that we can see all the things on the same platform. That is what we have been asking for, and hopefully, we are going to start seeing it this year."
"It is somewhat problematic in the area of the cloud."
"Regarding CloudGuard Network Security's integration with various resources like application gateways and application-based security groups, there's room for exploring dynamic access in those areas. A significant concern is the upgrade process. Unlike an in-place upgrade, upgrading the tool in Azure requires deploying a new resource, which can be hectic and less reliable. We have to spend something new to have the tool's latest version."
