Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."
"We can monitor each activity from our mobile devices, so there is complete visibility of our cloud traffic flows, with threat intelligence provided by Check Point."
"The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring."
"It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is the training."
"We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."
"Checkpoint posture management gives you visibility across your entire cloud infrastructure, so it helps you with management, maintenance, and compliance. With visibility across all these cloud platforms, you can protect against compromised credentials or identity theft."
"The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed. The solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard."
"It would normally take us a handful of days to install one FortiGate instance on one site. But with this technology, zero-touch deployment, we need just one hour or maybe as little as 30 minutes to install one site. It is much more efficient."
"It is easy to deploy to licenses."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management console."
"Without FortiManager, you cannot manage a complex environment across several sites with multiple firewalls."
"It is easy to manage a huge number of devices with FortiManager."
"The product is easy to use and manage."
"Fortinet FortiManager allows a full view of all the devices on the network from one location."
"The capability of centralized management is valuable. We can configure all firewall boxes with the same configuration."
"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"The platform would be significantly enhanced by incorporating data security management capabilities."
"Reporting should have more options."
"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."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts."
"The false positives can be annoying at times."
"No improvements are needed."
"The interface could be improved. It is split up into different areas, which makes it more difficult to navigate and get the right section of the correct file. The solution is quite expensive, so it would not be suitable for small to medium sized organizations."
"Having FortiManager work with all of the Fortinet products would be a good improvement."
"Its licensing model should be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions other than Fortinet."
"This solution needs more experienced technical support staff. There's nothing special about it compared to other vendors."
"The compatibility with legacy products should be better. It would also be nice if the software could manage other devices from Fortinet and third parties."
"FortiManager could be more user-friendly."
"Performance issues should be improved. We have problems when we have more mobile connections than local devices. Most of us have two to three devices."
