"The UI is very good."
"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."
"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"PingSafe released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. PingSafe's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"The container security element of this product has been very valuable to our organization."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"The solution was very user-friendly."
"Support is very helpful."
"The most helpful feature of Aqua Security is Drift Prevention, which is a feature that allows images to be immutable. In addition, one of the main reasons we went with Aqua Security is because it provides strong protection when it comes to runtime security."
"We use Aqua Security for the container security features."
"The DTA, which stands for Dynamic Threat Analysis, allows me to analyze Docker images in a sandbox environment before deployment, helping me anticipate risks."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"The most valuable feature is the single dashboard that enables us to manage the entire cloud environment from one place."
"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."
"The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."
"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."
"Auto remediation is a very effective feature that helps ensure less manual intervention."
"The solution has intelligence that integrates with a range of threat intelligence feeds, including Check Point's ThreatCloud, to provide real-time intelligence on emerging threats."
"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."
"It has great scalability."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"I want PingSafe to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, PingSafe is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If PingSafe had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."
"It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."

"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"There's room for improvement, particularly in management capabilities as it may not be comprehensive enough for all customers, and it has been lacking in the realm of cloud security posture management."
"It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"The setup can be better. With every other Check Point product, the setup is scripted. You just approve versions, and then you are off. The setup for this solution is still very much manual. I would like to see that transition to more of a scripted setup."
"Check Point tools need to improve the latency in the portal since they take a long time to load."
"There are opportunities for improvement that can be addressed through a roadmap."
"Currently, this solution is somewhat expensive."
"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."
"One feature of the product that I would like to enhance is the possibility to connect to vulnerability management platforms so that the issues that emerge from the scans can then be ingested directly into the vulnerability management process."
