Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers.""Checkpoint posture management gives you visibility across your entire cloud infrastructure, so it helps you with management, maintenance, and compliance. With visibility across all these cloud platforms, you can protect against compromised credentials or identity theft.""Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly.""The most valuable feature is posture management, which gives you complete visibility of all your assets in the cloud and allows you to do governance and compliance.""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).""All of the features are very useful in today's market.""The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions.""The most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature.""This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc).""Having everything in a central place has been helpful.""This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network.""It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers.""Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution.""The AlienVault solution has enabled us to create a SOC on a budget with smaller than usual staff requirements, offering a wider range of solutions for our customers.""It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."

Cons
"Currently, this solution is somewhat expensive.""The performance can be better. Sometimes, the performance is not up to the mark. There is also integration complexity with third-party software and tools.""It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications.""I would like to see improvements in the vulnerability assessments in terms of how the solution discovers vulnerabilities or compromised workloads. Also, customizable reports would be nice.""The product must provide different features like antivirus.""The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands.""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.""The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Cons →

"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on.""The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts.""I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low.""The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced.""The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement.""The only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps.""We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable.""I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."

  • "AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
  • "Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
  • "QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
  • "Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
  • "We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
  • "Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
  • "​The price point is good.​"
  • "It has good pricing."
