Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is the training."
"The CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool has several significant features that provide security to our company."
"The most valuable feature is posture management, which gives you complete visibility of all your assets in the cloud and allows you to do governance and compliance."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management. It's important."
"The general usability of the solution is very straightforward."
"Shadow IT discovery is the feature I like the most."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its monitoring."
"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
"The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation."
"We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs."
"The false positives can be annoying at times."
"The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts."
"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"The price of this solution should be reduced so that it is more affordable to scale."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"There are some features, such as user navigation content filtering, that are disabled by default, and it probably makes sense to enable them by default."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"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."
"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."
"The response time could be better. It will be helpful if the alerts are even more proactive and we can see more data. Currently, the data is a little bit weak. It is not complete. I can't just see it and completely know which user or which device it is. It takes some effort and time on my part to investigate and isolate a user. It would be great if it is more user-friendly or easy for people to understand."
"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..."
"Generally, the pricing can always be improved along with the management system."
