"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."
"It offers security insights and recommendations to assist organizations in acting and remediating issues swiftly."
"The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"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."
"The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way."
"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"The audit feature is the most valuable for compliance reasons. It gives you a full view of the whole environment, no matter how many accounts you have in AWS or Azure. You have it all under one umbrella."
"Email security has improved since we deployed this platform."
"The main benefit is that hackers can't steal information."
"The product's environment is easy to work and comprehensive."
"I can count the number of endpoints, emails, and collaborations being used in the environment."
"It fully protects colleagues from visiting insecure sites and browsing in unhealthy environments."
"The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc."
"Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble."
"The API is its most valuable feature. On the API side, relative to the rest of the market, Check Point is decades ahead of its competitors."
"I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."
"I’d like to see more integration with third-party tools. For example, it would be helpful to have an integration between Dome9 and ServiceNow to manage security incidents and security changes."
"The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."
"It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications."
"The biggest thing is the documentation aspect of Dome9 is a little lacking. They were purchased by Check Point about a year and a half to two years ago. When they integrated into Check Point's support system, a lot of the documentation that they had previously got mangled in the transition, e.g., linking to stuff on the Dome9 website that no longer exists. There are still a lot of spaces with incomplete links and stuff that is not as fully explained as it could be."
"No improvements are needed."
"The support must be more effective."
"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."
"They should consider a module that allows the customizing of reports so we can generate executive information for the client (to explain in simple language the general security situation in the SaaS environment)."
"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."
"The next release should focus more on email categorization and provide options for unlocking blocked safe emails."
"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."
"The left-hand feature can be made more granular for the implementation of the policy."
"Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization."
"It would be nice to see them expand their collaboration capabilities to include other suites and integrate with lesser-known products."
"There are sometimes leakages of viruses when the system is experiencing network failures."
