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

"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"The platform's full visibility and control across many cloud environments allows us to effectively monitor the security posture, uncover vulnerabilities, and consistently enforce security standards."
"The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring."
"On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us for this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures."
"We like the ability to investigate, analyze, and generate reports."
"The most valuable feature is the separate environment."
"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."
"I use Docker in combination with Kubernetes. Management of software packages is easy. It also can be done fast. Rolling out new software updates is smoother and faster due to Mirantis Container Cloud."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"The solution has enhanced the security and compliance management of container environments which reduces operational overhead and costs."
"One of the most valuable feature is its scalability because it is easy to work with. Even though I haven't fully removed it before, it's simple to get started and develop further. It's comparable to working with languages like C++ and Python. Python. It is easy to understand and more user-friendly."
"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."
"Main products are portable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"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 integration with third-party tools. For example, it would be helpful to have an integration between Dome9 and ServiceNow to manage security incidents and security changes."
"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."
"Sometimes, the solution provides us with false alerts of vulnerabilities that are not present in our cloud environment."
"Currently, this solution is somewhat expensive."
"Making basic rules is easy, but it's complex if you want to do something a little more nuanced. I've been unable to make some rules that I wanted. I couldn't evaluate some values or parameters of the components I look for. I haven't always been able to assess them."
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that."
"More integrations with other platforms would be beneficial."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"Integration with Windows is something that can be improved."
"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."
"Areas for improvement are the privacy of container management and the documentation. In the next release, I would like to see best practices on how to manage distributed containers and networks."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
"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."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"The pricing is extremely competitive."
"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."
"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"The product is not expensive."
"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"This solution is 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."
"We use the free version of this solution."
"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
