Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
"The product enables us to check the information that goes out of the company."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is the training."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create pipeline rules, the enhanced NetOps security, and the deep visibility across our entire infrastructure."
"It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches."
"Good interface and visibility."
"This product provides a really nice visualization of the infrastructure, including network topology, firewalls, etc."
"Defender helps us control which applications are being used and gain more security insight into remote and hybrid users based on user identity and log in location. You can also integrate Defender for Cloud Apps with Defender for Endpoint to extend its capabilities."
"I like the alert policies because they are quite robust. It has some built-in templates that we can easily pick up. One of them is the alert for mass downloads, when a particular user is running a massive download on your SharePoint site."
"Shadow IT discovery is the feature I like the most."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management. It's important."
"The product helps us with privileged identity management to control who has access to what and for how long."
"The general usability of the solution is very straightforward."
"It does a great job of monitoring and maintaining a security baseline. For us, that is a key element. The notifications are pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is its policy implementation."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements."
"Their service needs improvement."
"I’d like to see more integration with third-party tools. For example, it would be helpful to have an integration between Dome9 and ServiceNow to manage security incidents and security changes."
"The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."
"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"Check Point must provide a multi-cloud facility where AWS, Azure, and GCP can seamlessly work together and display posture in an integrated manner."
"The response time could be better. It will be helpful if the alerts are even more proactive and we can see more data. Currently, the data is a little bit weak. It is not complete. I can't just see it and completely know which user or which device it is. It takes some effort and time on my part to investigate and isolate a user. It would be great if it is more user-friendly or easy for people to understand."
"Currently, reporting is not very straightforward and it needs to be enhanced. Specific reports are not included and you need to run a query, drill down, and then export it and share it. I would love to have reports with more fine-tuning or granularity, and more predefined reports."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"The technical support team has room for improvement."
"They should continue integration with all other Microsoft security-related products. The integration with all the other products is still ongoing."
"We sometimes get errors when we create policies, which is somewhat annoying because some policies stop working due to misconfigurations. We find this challenging because it limits our options for troubleshooting an issue."
"This service would be better if it had a separate license, only for this service, that could be used to track usage."
"Sometimes, we'll get false positive alarms. For example, when a SharePoint path has no file sharing, but there is an external user, it will trigger an alarm that the file has been shared with an external user... the alerting mechanism should be more precise when giving you an alert about what activity has been done with the file..."
