Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly."
"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver."
"This platform has allowed us to collect data from multiple sources, centralizing everything under a single source."
"The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions."
"Good interface and visibility."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."
"It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."
"It has an analytics service that does research for us."
"The product helps us with privileged identity management to control who has access to what and for how long."
"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."
"Defender's integration with our identity solutions is critical in our current setup."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management. It's important."
"I like the web GUI/the management interface. I also like the security of Microsoft. As compared to other manufacturers, it's less complex and easy to understand and work with."
"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."
"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."
"It's very easy to install and it includes the Intune portal from Microsoft where I can control all the devices from one place."
"Reporting should have more options."
"The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."
"The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results."
"The price of this solution should be reduced so that it is more affordable to scale."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"When rules change, it messes up the remediation. They haven't found a fix for that yet. The remediation rule goes into limbo. It's an architectural design flaw within their end compliance engine—a serious bug."
"The security of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management could improve. There are always new security issues coming out."
"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."
"Generally, the pricing can always be improved along with the management system."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"There are challenges with detection and there are challenges with false-positive rates."
"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."
"There could be more granular roles that are out of the box included in the product."
"This service would be better if it had a separate license, only for this service, that could be used to track usage."
"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."
"Defender could integrate better with multi-cloud and hybrid environments. It requires some additional configuration to ingest data from non-Azure environments and integrate it with Sentinel."
