Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."
"The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."
"The most valuable feature is the single dashboard that enables us to manage the entire cloud environment from one place."
"The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"Gives us centralized firewall management for both Windows and Linux distros. Also provides a clear view of the security configurations and connections across environments (DMZ, external and internal networks)."
"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."
"Better logging allows us to find problems and take appropriate steps to lock them out."
"On-demand scanning is the most valuable feature. In addition, it's a fairly fluid product. It syncs back to the cloud and provides metrics. It's pretty intelligent."
"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 solution does not affect a user's workflow."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable feature is SQL database."
"If your business requirements are relatively simple, it can get the job done."
"Threat detection is its key feature, and that's why we use this tool. It gives an alert if a PC is attacked or there is any kind of anomaly, such as there is a spike in sending emails or we see an unauthorized website being accessed. So, it keeps us on our toes. We get to know that there is something wrong, and we can isolate the user and find any issues with it. So, threat detection is very robust in this tool."
"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."
"Reporting should have more options."
"There are opportunities for improvement that can be addressed through a roadmap."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud."
"I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."
"The price of this solution should be reduced so that it is more affordable to scale."
"The integration with macOS operating systems needs to be better."
"I would prefer to have filtering options incorporated within the policies, enabling the solution to perform tasks beyond mere blocking or allowing."
"We would like to get more information from the endpoint. I don't get enough detailed information right now on why something failed. There is not enough visibility."
"It doesn't actually decrease the time to respond. This has been an issue with Microsoft recently. Sometimes, there is a delay when it comes to getting an alert policy email... Sometimes it takes two or three hours for that email to be sent."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"There could be more granular roles that are out of the box included in the product."
"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..."
"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."
