Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.
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.
Yusuf_Hashmi - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized policy management and real-time protection provide consistent security across locations
The centralized policy management is essential for applying consistent controls across all locations. The cloud enablement feature helps eliminate on-premises infrastructure by adopting Netskope ( /products/netskope-reviews ). For threat detection and prevention, being able to lay down specific granular controls to block uploads to non-approved websites or web apps is very effective. Real-time protection enhances our security posture by providing continuous monitoring and prevention at the endpoints, which is spread across individuals working from various locations.

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"We can monitor each activity from our mobile devices, so there is complete visibility of our cloud traffic flows, with threat intelligence provided by Check Point."
"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."
"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates."
"The CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool has several significant features that provide security to our company."
"CloudGuard's best feature is real-time detection. We can detect incidents and vulnerabilities in our code with one click."
"It offers a range of features tailored to address the unique security challenges."
"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 most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs."
"Reporting should have more options."
"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."
"Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management."
"I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector."
"The platform would be significantly enhanced by incorporating data security management capabilities."
"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"Setting up policies is something that we having been doing, and if the vendor were to provide example use cases that included different implementation options then it would be very useful for us."
"They could improve their mobile agents as they have some limitations."
"They could add endpoint security features."
"They lack a cloud security posture management solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Accuracy could be improved."
"Deployment and policy tweaking were two areas where improvement needs to be made."
"Technical support and the user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"The price is on the higher end."
"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."
"The license fee is high."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"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."
"Pricing is a little expensive but it is affordable."
"They should work on licensing costs."
"I wasn't involved in the initial discussions about its cost. However, within the next year, by around June, I'll need to review the vendors' quotes. Typically, our procurement team handles the process by issuing an RFP to vendors to get quotes. From there, we evaluate based on pricing and may conduct a proof of concept to assess value."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The price of the solution is fair but it depends on your use case."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"I recall that the price was considerably cheaper than that of Zscaler. It was around 60,000 AUD for 1,000 users per year and included some training and some premier support offerings. If we wanted to take advantage of the CASB capabilities, then there was an additional subscription fee, for which we didn't have the budget. On price, I would give Netskope a three or four out of five because it's quite expensive, but it offers a lot of value."
"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive. However, it can be costly for a small business."
