Good security and functionality with helpful support
The security on offer is great. It's secure in terms of testing all the workloads. We can test across any workload or multiple clouds. It offers unified prevention. It also offers posture management by verifying proper scanning. We use the GSL builder. It's easy to write customer rules or policies using it. Of course, you do need proper training on the product first. It takes around one week to get trained. We've been able to reduce human error, and you can build the rules for better coverage. It provides functionality across cloud providers. The solution helps us save time. We've reduced the amount of time spent by 25%. Its unified security management console is a very complete dashboard. We can see all security threats and can gain visibility into what is happening. We have access to automation and can monitor the security of IT systems. The product offers role-based access control so that we can set up different privileges for admin users. Cloud Guard Spectrum is good for automating our organization's security across assets, workloads, and multiple clouds. With it, we have advanced pre-prevention across the cloud security network. It works for on-premises also. We can easily determine our organization's security posture. It will ensure my application's availability time across the enterprise. Network security helped us reduce our compliance and audit activities. We've saved about 20% of our time. Having a cloud detection response helps to very quickly identify security threats in our environment. It's automated so it saves us time. That way, people can work on other projects. On any given day, we're spending 20% less time in general worrying about detection and response. Our security operations are saving a lot of time using a unified platform.

Offers a clear visualization and overview of workflows and helpful in managing CI/CD processes
Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Knowing what measures we must take allows us to reduce costs associated with security in the cloud by providing early identification of a risk or a possible security breach."
"The implementation of this tool for security management and control is very simple."
"Check Point CloudGuard Code Security helps to improve the code security of our company, generating rapid and complete assessments to be able to make decisions for improvements."
"Its fastest and most outstanding characteristic is ensuring a development line that will not lead to applying applications or code development."
"Compared to what we used before, it's helping us to be more efficient in managing our traffic."
"Automation has helped a lot to identify and automatically execute policies, rules, and blocks due to its machine learning."
"We have had a number of real events where developers accidentally made commits of API keys, and we were able to detect and begin response actions in minutes. We had the API key revoked in less than five minutes in such events."
"The data center security system has provided real-time analytics on performance and data configuration processes."
"CloudBees is the Jenkins tool for building and deploying. There's open-source Jenkins, which is free and can be used by any organization, but it offers a different architecture for Jenkins. If your organization is larger, you might choose the architecture. This way, you can have different masters for different applications, and different teams can manage their masters separately. However, a single person can still control all the masters, whoever manages it for the organization."
"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"The most valuable features are Java features, microservice communication, payment validation, Jenkins Sonar, management master to CloudBees, Blue Ocean, JobConfig, and support."
 

Cons

"The solution should improve false-positives."
"It is generally difficult to find documentation about the product, and there is relatively little to find."
"The costs are not transparent."
"The ease of use could be better."
"There are a lot of opportunities for how they can use their technology to do more. That would be more like sensitive data discovery and other things besides Git Repos, but then you are expanding the scope of what necessarily their product is."
"We need to have many of the baselines or development guides providing less complex writing or development."
"This is a highly technical solution for users who do not have security experience. It requires specialized knowledge of configurations to use it correctly."
"There needs to be better security around API integration."
"To improve efficiency, they should focus on smoother label deployment."
"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."
"It could improve the document upload process."
