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.

High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds

The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud for our container management is Kubernetes. It provides a cluster, high availability, and a self-healing mechanism. Its multi-cluster management capability enhances our operational efficiency as it is easy to use, and every deployment is from the CI/CD, which automatically builds and deploys without human interference, reducing our deployment time to a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It streamlines visibility, so this is the right tool if you are trying to meet a specific compliance standard or you are managing hundreds or thousands of servers within your cloud environment."

"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."

"Security visibility with Dome9 is excellent."

"We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."

"The identification of misconfigurations, maintenance of compliance in a centralized way, and visibility across all the multi-cloud tenants are the key functionalities."

"The initial setup is easy and not complex at all."

"The CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool has several significant features that provide security to our company."

"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"Using this solution for a production environment that should be working 24/7 is the biggest proof of stability."

"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"It is a stable solution. It is nearly perfect. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"Mirantis Container Cloud provides significant features such as real-time vulnerability scanning and patching for container images and Kubernetes components, reducing security risks."

"It is a compact, complete solution that performs well."

"This solution has cut down on our development time and allows us to spin off new instances for inner development, testing, productions, and security testing."

"Mirantis Container Cloud operates similarly to how we interact with databases. It provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and managing containerized applications across cloud environments."

"It took us 30% faster to implement the solutions that we used to have with other platforms, and the flexibility has increased by 50%."

Cons

"CloudGuard's reporting could be better. It's good now, but there is room for improvement. If you're looking for a centralized platform, there are a lot of features that can be appreciated. However, you want complete security integration with SaaS, DAST, secret scanning, etc., and a single platform for all these features."

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

"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."

"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."

"The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point."

"You do need to pay extra in order to get better support."

"The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation."

"For businesses with varied IT ecosystems, increasing the integration capabilities with additional third-party products and services would increase flexibility and user-friendliness."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"In my previous years, I have brainstormed about the development of Container software. I have recently shifted focus, but the knowledge gained from those were really helpful. In my experience, Containers have their own complexities and to implement them, open source information is crucial. A software with new features would be beneficial. I suggest to implement a flow-based approach for container sequences, similar to Google Cloud's machine learning. The current process of deploying containers involves too many steps, and a more streamlined method would be appreciated. I've even automated deployment using APIs. Overall, simplifying container management and deployment processes would be valuable."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

"The orchestration and tracing should be improved."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

"The orchestration and tracing should be improved."

"On the MacBook, it was a little difficult, probably because of the version that my company is using."

"There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."

"I feel that the product lacks to offer a proper health status of the images which are running, making it an area where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."

"The license fee is high."

"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."

"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."

"Its price is very fair."

"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."

"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."

"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"This solution is free."

"We use the free version of this solution."

"Docker is a free solution."

"The pricing and licensing really depends on what your needs are. You could be paying $100 a month to $100,000. It depends on the needs you have from the solution, and the agreement you make."

"The solution is open-source and free to try."

"The product is not expensive."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
