Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Easy to use and consume, stable with excellent customization
It would be ideal if there was customization with a focus on specific cybersecurity areas or capabilities. Fugue is cybersecurity, an operational monitoring solution, which has a broad set of capabilities. However, one needs to have substantial know-how in the cybersecurity domain to be able to identify and zero in on specific Fugue capabilities that may be relevant to a particular project or workstream pursuit. Being a system integrator, for us, it isn't an issue. For a client that is new to Fugue or relatively new to cybersecurity, it would be quite challenging to zero in on a specific sweet spot or capability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automatic learning and an AI engine help to find more modern vulnerability problems."
"Good interface and visibility."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution has intelligence that integrates with a range of threat intelligence feeds, including Check Point's ThreatCloud, to provide real-time intelligence on emerging threats."
"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."
"Dome9 continues to be a major piece of our cloud security architecture and has given our senior leadership team a high degree of confidence in our ability to protect our cloud environment."
"From a compliance and visibility reporting perspective, the fact that it can be applicable for multi-cloud environments is very helpful."
"The customization is excellent."
 

Cons

"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"For businesses with varied IT ecosystems, increasing the integration capabilities with additional third-party products and services would increase flexibility and user-friendliness."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."
"The support must be more effective."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."
"The general input I have is that there is an opportunity for them to better align with other similar tools and better align with similar capabilities that cloud suppliers deliver natively."
"It would be ideal if there was customization with a focus on specific cybersecurity areas or capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."
"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 licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is extremely competitive."
"The price is on the higher end."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
