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.
Hitesh D - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds
The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud ( /products/mirantis-container-cloud-reviews ) for our container management is Kubernetes ( /products/kubernetes-reviews ). 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

"The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
"It has an analytics service that does research for us."
"The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"The posture management and remediation features are the most valuable. We use GSL Builder to build custom rules in alignment with our organization's policies. CloudGuard has canned rules using multiple standard frameworks, but we also have additional rules."
"The feature that I value the most about Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is the possibility of checking compliance with different standards. This compliance check can be performed for each subscription or service that we have on all the different cloud providers that we use."
"Compliance is becoming an important tool for us as well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts."
"It is a stable solution. It is nearly perfect. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"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."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"When you have Kubernetes, you can use Mirantis Container Cloud to manage your Kubernetes for easy access and security. It also helps you to manage your CI/CD system. It helps you to build a container-oriented developer workflow. So, if you're building an application in Kubernetes, it provides you with a Kubernetes engine."
"The solution has enhanced the security and compliance management of container environments which reduces operational overhead and costs."
"Very easy solution to use as it is intuitive."
"This solution has improved our organization with the agility, microservices approach, and scalable solutions for distributed systems."
 

Cons

"The support must be more effective."
"One feature of the product that I would like to enhance is the possibility to connect to vulnerability management platforms so that the issues that emerge from the scans can then be ingested directly into the vulnerability management process."
"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
"Streamlining the user interface would greatly improve the user experience."
"The user interface needs work."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."
"The orchestration and tracing should be improved."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"It will be better if the product provides dynamic load-balancing capabilities."
"With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable."
"Integration with Windows is something that can be improved."
"It would be very nice to have a GUI that can be used by any administrator, and not just people who have experience with Docker."
"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

"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."
"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
"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."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"​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. ​"
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is always known as a good solution but an expensive one. When you're using Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto, you know that you will pay more, but you know that it will work."
"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."
"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 product is not expensive."
"This solution is free."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"We use the free version of this solution."
