We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Google Kubernetes Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"It offers a range of features tailored to address the unique security challenges."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"The automatic learning and an AI engine help to find more modern vulnerability problems."
"It has great scalability."
"The initial setup was very easy because it's like a Google platform as a service. It's just one button to set it up. The deployment took only a few minutes."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"The main advantage of GKE is that it is a managed service. This means that Google is responsible for managing the master node in the Kubernetes cluster system. As a result, we can focus on deploying applications to the slaves, while Google handles any updates and security patches. The fact that GKE is fully integrated into the Google ecosystem, including solutions such as BigQuery and VertexAI. This makes it easier for us to integrate these tools into our process. This integration ultimately speeds up our time to market and reduces the time and effort spent on managing infrastructure. The managed aspect of GKE allows us to simply deploy and utilize it without having to worry about the technicalities of infrastructure management."
"The logs are important for detecting problems in our clusters."
"We used automation for the initial setup. It was okay. So it wasn't too complex."
"Google Kubernetes Engine's most valuable features are microservices and its acquisition rate, which is very useful for scaling perspective."
"The product has valuable security features. It can connect with multiple DevOps tools."
"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."
"The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts."
"I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."
"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."
"It should have some options to activate API calls to the platform in the cloud, another improvement would be that when the rules are colonized and they want to be published."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"You do need to pay extra in order to get better support."
"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"I use the Firebase tool with GKE and it would be helpful if the solution can give notifications when we reach the budget limit."
"The product could be cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in the cluster updates process. Specifically, when managing both non-production and production clusters, we need a sequential functionality."
"The product’s visible allocation feature needs improvement."
"There is a limitation for our infrastructure. It's very complex to see in one dashboard all the components and all the behavior on performance. I am looking for some additional tools for that. If I want to check the disk or file storage, it gets complex. There should be an integrated dashboard so that we can manage everything through a single pane."
"The solution does not have a visual interface."
"I think that security is an important point, and there should be additional features for the evaluation of data in containers that will create a more secure environment for usage in multi-parent models."
"The network configuration has to be simplified."
