Boosts security and compliance in multi-cloud environments while real-time threat detection enhances risk management
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP flagged a misconfiguration in our AWS S3 bucket that had overly permissive access settings. That configuration could have exposed our sensitive data to the public internet. The platform not only identified the issue but also provided remediation that our team was able to apply immediately. This prevented a potential data exposure. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers a unified, modular platform that combines CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, code security, and cloud detection and response. The agentless workload posture, real-time threat detection and response, multi-cloud coverage and visibility, compliance automation, and one-click remediations stand out as its best features. I find myself relying on the risk management engine and prioritization the most day-to-day. In any cloud environment, you are flooded with findings, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps. Without prioritization, it is overwhelming for our team to take care of the posture. CloudGuard's risk scoring helps us cut through incidents. This makes remediation faster and focused instead of wasting time checking every alert. We get to fix the issues that pose real business risks. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has positively impacted our organization at a significant level. We get greater visibility and control across all our cloud environments. Some biggest benefits we have seen are faster detection and remediation of misconfigurations, improved compliance posture, reduced risk exposure, operational efficiency, and cost savings. Overall, it has made our cloud environment more secure, compliant, and easier to manage while freeing up our teams to focus on projects instead of chasing alerts.

Enhanced endpoint security with effective patch management and frequent scans
The most valuable feature was the patch management, which was very effective for endpoint-centric solutions requiring remediation of vulnerabilities. ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus was the perfect fit for managing these requirements. We improved the number of scans and patches performed from four times per year per computer to four times per month.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed, and the solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard."
"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."
"We can integrate the solution very well with various cloud networks, including AWS, Azure, and Google, which is what we are on, and we are provided with the right information in order to get analytics that will help us be more proactive and minimize exposure to threats."

Cons

"The shift left part is not yet at a maturity level I desire. I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle."
"I would appreciate a way to receive periodic updates, like through email. I am the kind of person who likes to receive data passively."
"I would like CloudGuard's pricing to be cheaper, but I think that's impossible. The pricing is the only thing I think they can improve."
"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"One area that needs improvement is the contract management. My legal team required some partner requirements for that, and ManageEngine could not support it."
"The user interface is the only drawback of the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."
"The price is on the higher end."
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"The price is very reasonable."
