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.
Yovanny Amariles - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good security, availability, and policy granularity
The solution's initial setup is easy. Since our company has a very clear internet surfing policy, it is easy to implement it on the device without any problem. The solution's deployment takes one month. One engineer from my team and one engineer from the vendor side helped with the deployment process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"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 is an excellent tool."
"Dome9 has improved our organization; we have a centralized view of all of our assets, our visible assets our ECs, our inventories. And then all the policies are centralized, and it is easier to manage because everything is one component console."
"The most valuable feature is the single dashboard that enables us to manage the entire cloud environment from one place."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"Gives us centralized firewall management for both Windows and Linux distros. Also provides a clear view of the security configurations and connections across environments (DMZ, external and internal networks)."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."
"It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment."
"It gives us visibility into how the data is being used within our cloud environment."
"They were very, very aggressive in the market to get a new market share or to take over market share while other companies were being broken up."
"The solution provides great security, higher availability, and policy granularity."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"A stable solution with good support."
"The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product."
"Good anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities."
 

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."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"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 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."
"For businesses with varied IT ecosystems, increasing the integration capabilities with additional third-party products and services would increase flexibility and user-friendliness."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"Sometimes, the solution provides us with false alerts of vulnerabilities that are not present in our cloud environment."
"I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector."
"Check Point must provide a multi-cloud facility where AWS, Azure, and GCP can seamlessly work together and display posture in an integrated manner."
"The impact analysis that they perform can be improved. It is currently lacking. It should be more detailed."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
"User interface could be more intuitive."
"Its initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The license fee is high."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"Its price is very fair."
"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."
"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."
