Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."Good interface and visibility."
"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."
"The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed. The solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard."
"Dome9 has improved our organization; we have a centralized view of all of our assets, our visible assets our ECs, our inventories. And then all the policies are centralized, and it is easier to manage because everything is one component console."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."
"It learns from behavior, attacks, management, detections, captures packets, real-time analysis, et cetera. It's generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis."
"It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment."
"Everything from Microsoft is integrated. You receive regular reports on them all. You can push your reports, logs, and security alerts, which are all integrated. It is crucial that these solutions work natively together to deliver coordinated detection and response across our environment."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its monitoring."
"Defender's integration with our identity solutions is critical in our current setup."
"It's very easy to install and it includes the Intune portal from Microsoft where I can control all the devices from one place."
"One of the most valuable features is auditing. Some of the other protection services have issues with auditing. Microsoft Defender for Cloud has an excellent auditing technique that helps us avoid the risk of filtering or information loss. You can use different tools to guarantee these things. It allows you to conduct an in-depth exploration of applications, users, and files that are harmful or suspicious. You can also enhance your security setup by creating personalized rules or policies that help you better control traffic in the cloud."
"The general usability of the solution is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management. It's important."
"The solution does not affect a user's workflow."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"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."
"Reporting should have more options."
"The platform would be significantly enhanced by incorporating data security management capabilities."
"We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements."
"I would like to see improvements in the vulnerability assessments in terms of how the solution discovers vulnerabilities or compromised workloads. Also, customizable reports would be nice."
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
"Sometimes the support is actually lacking."
"I believe it's only set to be integrated with Microsoft Defender for identity and identity protection. I would like to see it available for use with something like Office 365 Defender. I don't think it's integrated with that yet."
"There could be more granular roles that are out of the box included in the product."
"I would prefer to have filtering options incorporated within the policies, enabling the solution to perform tasks beyond mere blocking or allowing."
"In the future, I would like to see more plug-and-play capabilities that use AI to tell you what needs to be done. It would be helpful if it scanned our devices and made security suggestions, on a configuration basis."
"It takes some time to scan and apply the policies when there is some sensitive information. After it applies the policies, it works, but there is a delay. This is something for which we are working with Microsoft."
"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."
"I would like for it to be available on Mac and for it to support all of the features of Microsoft financing products. It is really for Windows."
