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've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
"PingSafe offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"PingSafe has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability."
"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"Dome9 has improved our organization; we have a centralized view of all of our assets, our visible assets our ECs, our inventories. And then all the policies are centralized, and it is easier to manage because everything is one component console."
"It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."
"The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring."
"This solution helps to keep everything visible, and it also alerts us if something is wrong, such as if someone opened extra ports or services that they are not supposed to. This is a valuable tool for monitoring and maintaining our cloud environment."
"Checkpoint posture management gives you visibility across your entire cloud infrastructure, so it helps you with management, maintenance, and compliance. With visibility across all these cloud platforms, you can protect against compromised credentials or identity theft."
"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"The most valuable feature is the single dashboard that enables us to manage the entire cloud environment from one place."
"AI analytics are built directly into the product."
"It is very easy to work with Darktrace once you know how it works and the type of permissions that you need to get related to the security over a network. The interface is awesome. I'm sure that you have seen Ironman, and you know Jarvis, the computer of Tony Stark. The interface of Darktrace is very similar, and you can see in 3D, like a hologram, the whole network, traffic, and all the traces inside the network. The interface is awesome, and it provides a lot of information. At least for us, it is very easy to handle this interface, get the reports, and do the interpretation of those reports. Darktrace also provides mobile monitoring. With an app on your mobile phone, you can view the information live, which is very useful for area directors and field engineers. Darktrace can be also correlated with any type of big data solution, such as Splunk."
"The product can scale."
"I have found the most valuable features to be artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, advanced machine learning capabilities, enterprise Immune System, Antigena Network, and Antigena Email. The way the solution detects the threat over the network before it spreads is very good. It notifies you of what the threat is exactly doing and gives you all the details about the execution of that application that had created the threat over your network."
"I particularly like Antigena and the analytics around the real-time monitoring of our network. I also like its reporting because it has got a seven-day reporting period within the system. Every time you run the reports, it gives you the data about the previous seven days. I like that because it is in real-time. I enjoy reading those reports and getting a very clear and decisive idea of what's happening on my network on a real-time basis. I like the actual real-time monitoring of spoofing and things like that. I also like the user monitoring as well as the network logging capabilities."
"t was pretty as far as the granularity of what you were getting out of it."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to trim out the false positives and point your attention to the real important stuff."
"A simple, powerful AI solution that just does all the work for you when you turn it on."
"In addition to our telecom and Slack channels, it would be helpful to receive Cloud Native Security security notifications in Microsoft Teams."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."
"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
"It should capture more information in metadata including communication detail. Also, Internal IP addresses should not be tracked as this might be having some compliance issues."
"Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"Integration could be improved."
"CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards."
"I would like to see more protection in the endpoint. Especially because we have a lot of people using VPNs. If they would improve end point security, it would give more control there."
"Although we haven't detected any network threats since implementing Darktrace, we are unsure of its efficacy. It would be beneficial if the solution could offer additional details to the user regarding any potential or prevented threats. Additionally, there could be better search tools and integration."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"It can have more integration with orchestration or event management solutions. They can provide more knowledge or research information for analysts for investigating cases and detecting anomalies in networks."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"The user interface and the configuration are a bit complex and should be improved or simplified."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
