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.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is able to bring visibility into that cloudy space where the security departments do not really see what is happening on the DevOps side. It brings visibility, security control, and standardization."
"The solution offers an excellent price, benefit, and installation relationship."
"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 Compliance engine has helped put our auditors and senior executives at ease, as we can quickly and accurately measure ourselves against hundreds of compliance checks to include CIS benchmarks, PCI, and other best practices."
"It presents a real-time database that is always updated."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"I appreciate Trivy for being open-source and not requiring any payment."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"What I find valuable is the ease of setup with Trivy, including pre-defined operators that require minimal configuration."
"I rate Trivy a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"The support must be more effective."
"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."
"They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well."
"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."
"Improvements can be made to the user interface."
"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."
"The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."
"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"The price is on the higher end."
"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."
"The pricing is extremely competitive."
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"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."
"Its price is very fair."
