Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The feature that I value the most about Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is the possibility of checking compliance with different standards. This compliance check can be performed for each subscription or service that we have on all the different cloud providers that we use."
"It offers security insights and recommendations to assist organizations in acting and remediating issues swiftly."
"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."
"We like the GSL Builder feature. When you're running a security operations center, you spend a lot of time monitoring endpoint activity to ensure there is no malicious traffic or anonymous access in the environment. The GSL Builder is helpful for deep investigations of a particular reason for an incident. You can use it to get more information."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create pipeline rules, the enhanced NetOps security, and the deep visibility across our entire infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"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 is its policy implementation."
"The product helps us with privileged identity management to control who has access to what and for how long."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is to stop shadow IT."
"The solution does not affect a user's workflow."
"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."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"The costs are high."
"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."
"The support must be more effective."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"You do need to pay extra in order to get better support."
"I would prefer to have filtering options incorporated within the policies, enabling the solution to perform tasks beyond mere blocking or allowing."
"They should continue integration with all other Microsoft security-related products. The integration with all the other products is still ongoing."
"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."
"Generally, the pricing can always be improved along with the management system."
"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 want them to enhance in-session policy."
"The integration with macOS operating systems needs to be better."
"Defender for Cloud apps is primarily useful for Azure apps. It has limited capabilities for applications based on other cloud platforms."
