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.
Rifat Rahman - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration and automation have transformed deployment and maintenance
Regarding the learning curve, the customers actually do not need the technical nitty-gritty details; they need to know about the containerization journey because they are not familiar with it. They know it as a theory, but they don't understand anything about its practical implications. That's the main challenge. The solution itself doesn't require a high learning curve; it is actually quite good to manage. However, application developers and managers have to understand the beauty of it, and that is the challenge. If Red Hat can execute some programs regarding that, it will help. Regarding Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, it is expensive according to market feedback. Notably, the platform plus is perceived as quite expensive and some features from an infrastructure perspective are lacking.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions."
"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature."
"This platform has allowed us to collect data from multiple sources, centralizing everything under a single source."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."
"Visibility is a key feature. It helps me to validate my overall network posture."
"The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."
"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."
"The most valuable are security features, particularly when operating in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution can be deployed in the cloud which removes the expense of a server."
"It has been a good solution to deploy all containerized applications."
"It automates rolling out new features, packaging the code, conducting security scans, and deploying to OpenShift."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The tool's most valuable features include high availability, scalability, and security. Other features like advanced cluster management, advanced cluster security, and Red Hat Quay make it powerful for businesses. It also comes with features like OpenShift Virtualization."
"It’s user-friendly."
"The product is stable, reliable, and easy to use, from a well-known company, has a large volume handling capacity, and more and more organizations are moving to OpenShift."
 

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."
"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards."
"Currently, this solution is somewhat expensive."
"No improvements are needed."
"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."
"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."
"The security of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management could improve. There are always new security issues coming out."
"We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements."
"Getting the solution quickly and troubleshooting quickly are both areas where I think it needs some work."
"OpenShift Container Platform is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"OpenShift has a pretty steep learning curve. It's not an easy tool to use. It's not only OpenShift but Kubernetes itself. The good thing is that Red Hat provides specific targeted training. There are five or six pieces of training where you can get certifications. The licenses for OpenShift are pretty expensive, so they could be cheaper because the competition isn't sleeping, and Red Hat must take that into account."
"Metrics monitoring feature needs improvement."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"The stability needs improvement."
"My impression is that this solution is pretty expensive so I think the pricing plan could improve."
"From a networking perspective, the routing capability can be matured further. OpenShift doesn't handle restrictions on what kind of IPs are allowed, who can access them, and who cannot access them. So it is a simple matter of just using it with adequate network access, at the network level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."
"The license for CloudGuard Posture Management is about $80 a year, and it's based on your cloud footprint, not the number of users. So you could have a million users, and it doesn't matter."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"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 pricing is extremely competitive."
"OpenShift Container Platform is highly-priced."
"The price is slightly on the higher side. It is something that can be worked on because most of the businesses now have margins."
"We currently have an annual license renewal."
"We have to pay for the license."
"Its price is a bit high because it's a premium product, but as long as the business is ready to pay for that, it's okay."
"It depends on who you're talking to. For a large corporation, it is acceptable, other than the significant infrastructure requirements. For a small organization, it is in no way suitable, and we'd go for Amazon's container solution."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than expected."
"The product pricing is competitive and structured around vCPU subscriptions, aligning with our application requirements."
