We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Darktrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."
"We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"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 Compliance engine has helped put our auditors and senior executives at ease, as we can quickly and accurately measure ourselves against hundreds of compliance checks to include CIS benchmarks, PCI, and other best practices."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems."
"I love the work involved in maintaining and scaling security services and configurations across multiple public clouds using this solution, versus using native native cloud security controls. It is so much better. The different cloud platforms all have their own way that they handle a lot of the stuff that Dome9 handles. Even within their platform, they are in a lot of disparate places, e.g., in AWS, there are five different tools. You have to jump between them to get the same information that you can just pull in automatically on Dome9, which is just one platform. We are using multiple platforms, so that makes it even more complicated and time consuming if you had to just rely on them to get all of your information. Whereas, it's all just summarized and put together on the Dome9 end."
"The solution offers an excellent price, benefit, and installation relationship."
"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"The product offers us a very good user interface and we've found the network visibility to be very good so far."
"It is a stable solution without downtime."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us visibility of rogue traffic that is on the network."
"The Antigena feature is most valuable. Once it learns your environment, Antigena can step in and block a denial of service attack, a ransomware attack, or just about anything that doesn't belong in the environment. It can detect any type of attack that hits the environment because it understands what normal looks like for the network. It is very useful for an autonomous response."
"Darktrace is extremely stable."
"It is very stable and easy to use."
"Provides great network protection."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"For vulnerabilities, they are showing CVE ID. The naming convention should be better so that it indicates the container where a vulnerability is present. Currently, they are only showing CVE ID, but the same CVE ID might be present in multiple containers. We would like to have the container name so that we can easily fix the issue."
"I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check PingSafe. The alert used to come after about three and a half hours. It used to take that long to generate the alert about the vulnerability in my system. If a hacker attacks a system and PingSafe takes three to four hours to generate an alert, it will not be beneficial for the company. It would be helpful if we get the alert in five to ten minutes."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"I would like additional integrations."
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"Reporting should have more options."
"The impact analysis that they perform can be improved. It is currently lacking. It should be more detailed."
"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 tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"The setup can be better. With every other Check Point product, the setup is scripted. You just approve versions, and then you are off. The setup for this solution is still very much manual. I would like to see that transition to more of a scripted setup."
"We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements."
"Check Point must provide a multi-cloud facility where AWS, Azure, and GCP can seamlessly work together and display posture in an integrated manner."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"They just need to work on their price. In terms of features, we are trying to understand all the features that we have. We're still exploring everything that we have so that we can fully utilize it. At this point in time, it is not about the features. It is more about utilization. We're just trying to utilize everything to full capacity."
"The main portal needs improvement as it is difficult to use."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"It's a very complex platform."
"There is a high ratio of false positive information."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"There aren't so many third-party vendor platforms natively integrated with the platform."
