Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.5
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP boosts efficiency, reduces workload, and delivers 35%-70% ROI through improved security and reduced compliance efforts.
Sentiment score
6.9
Veracode improved code quality, security, and efficiency, leading to cost savings, faster releases, and enhanced operational benefits for organizations.
Monitoring cloud security automatically ensures a return on investment.
The scanners of Veracode bring status of the weaknesses in the current infrastructure. It scans and provides reports regarding the servers, the network, and the applications running on those servers.
Regarding price, the evaluation should focus on how efficiently they will recover their investment, considering the time saved through the use of Veracode Fix, for example, and the ability to fix code at dev time compared to the problems faced when fixing after the product is already deployed.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP support is praised for responsiveness and knowledge, though some seek improvement at the basic level.
Sentiment score
7.4
Veracode provides effective, prompt support with knowledgeable staff, though response times and coordination occasionally need improvement.
When I need help or have open questions, or if I require the capability to deploy a quick test environment, there are always people I can contact at Check Point to get my information or the environment as fast as I need it.
I have a dedicated support engineer and a presales engineer dedicated to me.
Access to the engineering team is crucial for faster feedback on the product fix process.
They are very responsive and quick to help with queries within our scope.
They respond very quickly since security is something critical.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is scalable and adaptable, integrating well into multi-cloud systems despite potential licensing cost considerations.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veracode is scalable and effective for large user volumes, though some note potential scaling costs and manageable packaging challenges.
I never had any performance-related issues.
Cloud solutions are easier to scale than on-premise solutions.
It has a good capacity to scale effectively.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is praised for its stable performance, reliable workload management, and seamless cloud integration with minimal downtime.
Sentiment score
8.0
Users find Veracode stable and reliable, with occasional well-communicated maintenance and improved stability, despite some glitches and false positives.
If there are errors, it is sometimes challenging to elaborate or troubleshoot since it is not transparent enough to understand what to search for.
It is rapidly evolving, and sometimes mistakes occur, necessitating testing.
If the Veracode server is down, we experience many issues during the scan.
It's not that easy to onboard, but once they have been onboarded on the platform, and the pipeline configured alongside the product configured, it works effectively.
 

Room For Improvement

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP requires better integration, improved features, enhanced support, and comprehensive documentation with robust automation and customization.
Veracode faces criticism for false positives, outdated UI, slow scans, high costs, and poor support for new technologies.
I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle.
It would be nice to have periodic updates on what people should do, maybe with some analysis or something.
I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel.
If it could be integrated directly with code repositories such as Bitbucket or GitHub, without the need to create a pipeline to upload and decode code, it would simplify the code scan process significantly.
We had issues with scanning large applications. Scanning took a lot of time, so we kept it outside the DevOps pipeline to avoid delaying deployments.
A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers.
 

Setup Cost

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP licenses by cloud assets with annual/hourly terms; opinions vary on pricing and flexibility.
Veracode's high pricing suits large enterprises but is challenging for smaller businesses, with negotiable terms for optimal value.
It is not cheap, of course, yet it is a necessity.
From a licensing and cost perspective, it is really competitive.
It's not the most expensive solution.
If there's a security gap, you'll never know the cost or effect.
Pricing-wise, I find it a bit expensive because it's based on the number of users requesting access to Veracode.
 

Valuable Features

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP excels in cloud security with IAM control, compliance monitoring, visualization, and seamless multi-cloud integration.
Veracode integrates with CI/CD pipelines, offering fast scans, low false positives, and tools for efficient vulnerability management and compliance.
One of the main reasons we use the solution is that it is great at identifying risks that are critical to our business.
The CDR helps detect anomalous behavior and respond to threats before they become an issue.
Detecting misconfigurations in the cloud is what the CSPM delivers.
It offers confidence by preventing exposure to vulnerabilities and helps ensure that we are not deploying vulnerable code into production.
The best features in Veracode include static analysis and the early detection of vulnerable libraries; it integrates with tools such as Jenkins.
It fixes issues directly in the IDE while you're doing it.

Featured Reviews

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.
David-Robertson - PeerSpot reviewer
Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful, but the usability needs improvement
Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful. My colleagues and I don't need to be experts on all of those ancillary things, so we can focus more on the business deliverables. They have a pretty good tool that allows me to run scans of my local integrated development environment. I can find a lot of those flaws a lot sooner than I would if I had to wait for these cloud-based scans. They've come out with some sort of automated fix feature. I haven't used it, but they gave us a demo of it, and that one looks promising. I don't know if it's ready for prime time yet.
