We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Assets Management as it provide complete visibility of our workload inkling EC2 instance or Serverless""I love the work involved in maintaining and scaling security services and configurations across multiple public clouds using this solution, versus using native native cloud security controls. It is so much better. The different cloud platforms all have their own way that they handle a lot of the stuff that Dome9 handles. Even within their platform, they are in a lot of disparate places, e.g., in AWS, there are five different tools. You have to jump between them to get the same information that you can just pull in automatically on Dome9, which is just one platform. We are using multiple platforms, so that makes it even more complicated and time consuming if you had to just rely on them to get all of your information. Whereas, it's all just summarized and put together on the Dome9 end.""The most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts.""We have more visibility than ever before, appreciating the valuable and proactive insight that we receive from the platform.""This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks.""I can take proactive actions based on an alert without having to interact with the platform directly.""It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database.""The initial setup is easy and not complex at all."

"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform.""The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal.""The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users.""It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has.""The Search Engineering feature is good.""The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components.""The reporting on the solution is good."

Cons
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive.""I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector.""We want to be able to customize the solution more in order to meet the needs of our company.""The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform.""The false positives can be annoying at times.""Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management.""Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime.""Streamlining the user interface would greatly improve the user experience."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Cons →

"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware.""I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation.""At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated.""Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus.""Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn.""The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version.""The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."

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."

  • "I use the open-source version of this product. Pricing is not relevant."
  • "It is expensive. Our license expired, and our company is not thinking to renew because of our budget."
  • "The great advantage with Rapid7 Metasploit, of course, is that it's free."
  • "There are two versions available, one of which is the Pro version, and the other is the free version."
  • "Rapid7 Metasploit is cheaper than Tenable.io Vulnerability Management."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's pricing a six. So it's fairly priced."
  • "The pricing structure involves a one-time purchase cost of approximately twenty thousand dollars or euros for all customers."
  • "We pay monthly. The pricing is reasonable."
