Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

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

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."

"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."

"The product enables us to check the information that goes out of the company."

"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver."

"The solution's main benefit is that it automates all the patching and reporting parts and generates an automated report."

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

"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."

"Customer service is very good."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."

"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."

"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."

"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."

"Claroty is very beneficial for learning and adds value to your resume."

"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."

More Claroty Platform pros

Cons

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well."

"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."

"I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."

"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."

"The biggest thing is the documentation aspect of Dome9 is a little lacking. They were purchased by Check Point about a year and a half to two years ago. When they integrated into Check Point's support system, a lot of the documentation that they had previously got mangled in the transition, e.g., linking to stuff on the Dome9 website that no longer exists. There are still a lot of spaces with incomplete links and stuff that is not as fully explained as it could be."

"The software configurations theory is complicated, and without proper planning and a well-skilled technical team, it cannot perform its tasks properly."

"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."

"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."

"There are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."

"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."

"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."

"Claroty Platform only gives the vulnerabilities based on the make and model of the devices, so it doesn't provide any resolution or any detailed explanation of how one can resolve such issues."

"There should be AI security solutions implemented."

"The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site."

"For improvement, I think the training could be more practical. We have external training, but they're mostly theoretical. I want the solution to provide hands-on lab experience to help users learn better."

More Claroty Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"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."

"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."

"The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."

"CloudGuard is fairly priced."

"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."

"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."

"The tool is quite expensive."
