Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."It offers a range of features tailored to address the unique security challenges."
"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"The most valuable feature is the separate environment."
"It is able to bring visibility into that cloudy space where the security departments do not really see what is happening on the DevOps side. It brings visibility, security control, and standardization."
"The initial setup is easy and not complex at all."
"We have more visibility than ever before, appreciating the valuable and proactive insight that we receive from the platform."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"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."
"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."
"The feature that helps us in detecting the sensitive information being shared has been very useful. In addition, the feature that allows MCAS to apply policies with SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive is being used predominantly."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration across different clouds."
"Better logging allows us to find problems and take appropriate steps to lock them out."
"The ability to prevent users from using certain applications is one of the most valuable features. It doesn't require any configuration for implementation from the client perspective. It just works right away and gives you the information you need."
"The product’s most valuable feature is SQL database."
"We have become more aware of what services our users are using, how often they are using them, and what data is being sent out of the organization and to which services. So, it is really a lot about visibility and helping us make decisions based on that. It drives some of our policy decisions for adding extra security controls."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation."
"Check Point tools need to improve the latency in the portal since they take a long time to load."
"Defender for Cloud apps is primarily useful for Azure apps. It has limited capabilities for applications based on other cloud platforms."
"I would like for it to be available on Mac and for it to support all of the features of Microsoft financing products. It is really for Windows."
"Sometimes the support is actually lacking."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This service would be better if it had a separate license, only for this service, that could be used to track usage."
