We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts."
"Almost all the features are valuable, but the most important is proactive threat detection. The overall administration, seamless integration, and being able to have one platform for monitoring our applications for suspicious activities and any potential security threats are also valuable."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"It has an analytics service that does research for us."
"I can take proactive actions based on an alert without having to interact with the platform directly."
"The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed. The solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard."
"It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"Tech support is helpful."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The reporting has a lot of opportunities to continuously improve so that we can continue to show value."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"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."
"We have had some issues with the performance. In some cases, the performance of CloudGuard CNAPP is impacted. Particularly during the intensive security scans in high-traffic environments, there has been a performance impact."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."
"The security of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management could improve. There are always new security issues coming out."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
