Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."All of the features are very useful in today's market."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"The Compliance engine has helped put our auditors and senior executives at ease, as we can quickly and accurately measure ourselves against hundreds of compliance checks to include CIS benchmarks, PCI, and other best practices."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"It has great scalability."
"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates."
"The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions."
"The product’s most valuable feature is SQL database."
"It's very easy to install and it includes the Intune portal from Microsoft where I can control all the devices from one place."
"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."
"There are a lot of features with benefits, including discovery, investigation, and putting controls around things. You can't say that you like the investigation part but not the discovery. Everything is correlated; that's how the tool works."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration across different clouds."
"It does a great job of monitoring and maintaining a security baseline. For us, that is a key element. The notifications are pretty good."
"Better logging allows us to find problems and take appropriate steps to lock them out."
"The solution does not affect a user's workflow."
"The reporting has a lot of opportunities to continuously improve so that we can continue to show value."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there."
"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."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"No improvements are needed."
"The biggest thing is the documentation aspect of Dome9 is a little lacking. They were purchased by Check Point about a year and a half to two years ago. When they integrated into Check Point's support system, a lot of the documentation that they had previously got mangled in the transition, e.g., linking to stuff on the Dome9 website that no longer exists. There are still a lot of spaces with incomplete links and stuff that is not as fully explained as it could be."
"Reporting should have more options."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"This service would be better if it had a separate license, only for this service, that could be used to track usage."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps’s technical support services needs improvement."
"Defender for Cloud Apps could come with more configured policies out of the box. Also, integration could be easier. Integration is moderately difficult because Microsoft hasn't developed a solution that unifies device onboarding and management. You have to use Intune to manage devices and Defender for Endpoint to enforce policies. They need to fix their integration, but I believe they will straighten it out by the end of the year."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"The integration with macOS operating systems needs to be better."
"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."
