Mamadou Fallou Diagne - PeerSpot reviewer
Management team gains substantial protection while navigating ongoing configuration challenges
The most valuable features of Check Point CloudGuard Code Security include our approach to manage it via the management we have on-premises, and we also deploy the same extension management of CloudGuard to manage all the virtual systems on Azure. We effectively use artificial intelligence with Check Point CloudGuard Code Security, as we have teams that work with AI and we frequently manage our firewalls using AI along with the CloudGuard and all virtual systems.
Nataraj KS - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable product, key part of cybersecurity strategy but country-specific configuration issues requiring manual work
The onboarding process wasn't inherently complex, but it did take some time to open ports and configure the server. We're using three components of DLP: Endpoint DLP, email DLP, and web DLP. Web DLP isn't fully configured yet because we don't have a proxy. Email DLP took some additional coordination with a third party, and our Office 365 API, but those challenges were resolved. We have it installed and deployed on-premises. We have a partner who maintains it. It covers around 3,000 endpoints. It's deployed across our branches, factories, warehouses, and head office. It covers all endpoints in those locations. The deployment took some time due to our different locations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data center security system has provided real-time analytics on performance and data configuration processes."
"I can recommend Check Point CloudGuard Code Security to other organizations as it is a good platform to protect our organization."
"Automation has helped a lot to identify and automatically execute policies, rules, and blocks due to its machine learning."
"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."
"We have a strong sense of security assurance when utilizing CloudGuard, as it consistently delivers outstanding protection capabilities."
"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."
"It helped us to reduce vulnerabilities."
"Its fastest and most outstanding characteristic is ensuring a development line that will not lead to applying applications or code development."
"Forcepoint Risk Adaptive Protection for DLP is purely a DLP-based solution, which makes it the best option available."
"We chose Forcepoint as part of our cybersecurity strategy, and one of the key expectations was to prevent data leakage."
"It primarily influences policy enforcement, cloud application access control, and endpoint network coverage."
 

Cons

"They could include web functionalities such as sandboxing."
"It is generally difficult to find documentation about the product, and there is relatively little to find."
"The enhancements are needed in the logging system and log management processes."
"There needs to be better security around API integration."
"The costs are not transparent."
"This is a highly technical solution for users who do not have security experience. It requires specialized knowledge of configurations to use it correctly."
"We need to have many of the baselines or development guides providing less complex writing or development."
"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."
"From an end user's perspective, it's not always clear what's happening with the DLP. It would be beneficial to have more use cases available, perhaps on a countrywide basis."
"The SaaS solution needs improvement, especially the malware-centric part, although the CASB is better but mostly data-centric. The after-sale support could also be improved."
"The deployment is a little bit difficult. It requires two to three separate servers for databases and the application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is extremely affordable and high value for cost."
"The licensing cost is roughly 90 US dollars per year, per license."
