We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver.""All of the features are very useful in today's market.""The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams.""Cloud security posture management is the feature we've been using the longest.""The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems.""The feature that I value the most about Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is the possibility of checking compliance with different standards. This compliance check can be performed for each subscription or service that we have on all the different cloud providers that we use.""It offers security insights and recommendations to assist organizations in acting and remediating issues swiftly.""This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."

"The solution has a very effective anti-phishing algorithm that detects a significantly higher number of phishing emails compared to the default Microsoft solution.""This DLP is very useful, as it gives our users additional protection.""In my opinion, it's one of the best products. It does protect other things like Slack and Salesforce, which are more about communication.""As with most of the other Check Point products, the CloudGuard SaaS has the advanced visibility of the events and alerts.""The fact that we can share documents without emailing them and still be confident they will go through the corresponding scrutiny is great.""The anti-phishing feature is the solution's best feature.""I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment.""Check Point's technical support is very good."

More Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration Pros →

"Policies are very easy to manage on a day-to-day basis.""Key features are the Software Vulnerability Assessment and the CSM, which is the configuration check."

More CloudPassage Pros →

Cons
"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.""Reporting should have more options.""Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud.""Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management.""I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming.""The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation.""They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well.""The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Cons →

"The solution fails to support hybrid deployments.""It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products.""The business team should be further expanded, and more peer feedback should be made available publicly to have better and complete visibility of the application globally.""They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management.""I need to go to Check Point's admin portal if I want to see the license list and the details of the users of the tool, making it an area of concern where some ease of process should be provided from an improvement perspective.""Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents.""Its guides are not great.""The NAVEX metrics that I have been using on the CloudGuard dashboard cannot be exported. If they were to add report exporting capabilities on each of metric objects on the dashboard, that would be awesome."

More Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration Cons →

"In the CSM module the policies are really hard to work with it. It is not very flexible at all. I would suggest that they change that. Right now, the scan is based on the group that the server is in. What happens if the server is in multiple groups?""Of all the advertised functions, I only find two things that really work in my environment, even though I wanted to use all of them. They're not flexible enough to be used.""Anything outside of the software vulnerability management and the CSM, things like the GhostPort, need some improvement. The dashboard is in beta. It looks really good, I wish it would come out of beta.""The reports and graphs are unintuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
  • "It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
  • "The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
  • "I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."

  • "Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
  • "Being able to keep the phishing campaigns out of my company has been ROI for me."
  • "Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
  • "The price is very good, based on what they deliver."
  • "One of the nice features is that the licensing model is elastic, so if you go over your license count, you can add users during your billing cycle and true-up later."
  • "There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."
  • "The difference between [Check Point and its competitors] boiled down to money. Price-wise, Check Point was very good, it was very competitive."
  • "The pricing and licensing are always negotiable."

  • "We also evaluated VMware NSX, but the pricing and features available in a CloudPassage implementation were decisive in deciding to go with CP."
  • "CloudPassage is a little bit on the expensive side. So my suggestion is that the company lower its price point a wee bit or sell modules, separate them in modules, because I only find two things that are useful to me, yet I pay for four or five modules. It didn't seem like it was a fair deal."

    Overview

    Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is a robust cloud security solution, offering comprehensive protection for cloud workloads and applications against cyberattacks. This platform encompasses cloud security posture management, threat prevention, and efficient incident response, providing organizations with a unified defense against threats. Key features include continuous visibility and remediation of misconfigurations, threat prevention through various techniques like intrusion prevention and malware detection, and rapid, cost-effective incident response. With CloudGuard CNAPP, you can safeguard cloud-native applications, cloud infrastructure, and sensitive data, enhancing your overall cloud security posture. This solution is a powerful asset for organizations seeking to fortify their cloud environments against a range of cyber threats.

    Check Point Harmony Email and Office is a cloud-based software offering complete protection to stop malware attacks through emails. The software is designed to provide protection for organizations using Office 365, G Suite, Google Workspace, and all other collaboration and file-sharing apps. Access permissions can be granted and custom policies can be defined for any user of choice.

    Check Point Harmony Email and Office identifies and blocks advanced malware, phishing, and ransomware attacks in real time before they reach the user’s inbox. In turn, this also helps protect sensitive business data from breaches. Harmony Email and Office was the first solution to implement machine learning, API, and AI for email security, and will ultimately prevent any attempts at account takeover via agentless multi-factor authentication.

    What is Complete Protection?

    Check Point Harmony Email and Office offers a superior catch rate for collaboration apps and cloud email with their API-based solution that detects attacks that other solutions miss, including account takeover, supply chain attacks, ransomware, and BEC. The complete protection offers:

    • Malware Protection - Recognized by NSS Labs as “most effective in breach prevention,” the solution leverages technologies to bring clean files to users within 1.5 seconds. In addition, enterprises can be safer as the solution prevents malicious messages and files from reaching the user’s inbox.
    • Data Leakage Protection - Any confidential or sensitive information will be marked and have a classified suffix added to the end of the message or file to help keep those materials safe. Those files are encrypted, and the user will be alerted to any attempted breach of those messages.
    • Phishing Protection - Before advanced phishing attacks reach the end user, Harmony Email and Office detects and blocks them, including outbound, inbound, and internal communications.
    • Account Takeover Protection - After a user connects their cloud app, the solution captures the user's history and creates a profile and a custom threat profile. In the event of a suspected account takeover, threat intelligence is leveraged through millions of Check Point-secured gateways and endpoints and is blocked.
