"We can monitor each activity from our mobile devices, so there is complete visibility of our cloud traffic flows, with threat intelligence provided by Check Point."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"Dome9 continues to be a major piece of our cloud security architecture and has given our senior leadership team a high degree of confidence in our ability to protect our cloud environment."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create pipeline rules, the enhanced NetOps security, and the deep visibility across our entire infrastructure."
"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."
"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver."
"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks."
"It has an analytics service that does research for us."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"In Dome9, there should be a policy validation option where we can validate the policy before we push it into production."
"It should have some options to activate API calls to the platform in the cloud, another improvement would be that when the rules are colonized and they want to be published."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"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."
"The impact analysis that they perform can be improved. It is currently lacking. It should be more detailed."
"Reporting should have more options."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"The solution is expensive."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
