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."The solution is very user-friendly."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"The solution has intelligence that integrates with a range of threat intelligence feeds, including Check Point's ThreatCloud, to provide real-time intelligence on emerging threats."
"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."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"Compliance is becoming an important tool for us as well."
"The initial setup is easy and not complex at all."
"It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."
"Good interface and visibility."
"Darktrace is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"A very useful feature in Darktrace for real-time threat analysis is the packet inspection that analyzes the packet traffic in real time."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"The active threat dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The NDR is good in their solution and they have NTG for email."
"Darktrace is very useful for us because it has a large number of models for detecting threats."
"Ability to see events and exactly what traffic or website the device had tried to connect to that raised the alert or issue."
"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."
"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."
"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"Their service needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector."
"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
"The product must provide different features like antivirus."
"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."
"The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"This product needs more in terms of prevention. The detection capabilities work well but once a threat has been detected, Darktrace should work to prevent it from doing anything malicious."
"The program is quite expensive."
"One thing I would like is for Darktrace to flag SMB traffic more accurately. Currently, it only flags that SMB traffic has occurred, but it doesn't specify which file was being transferred. This makes it difficult to investigate incidents involving SMB traffic, as we don't have concrete evidence of what was being sent."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"The product doesn't have an endpoint agent that can react to triggers set on the device,"
"Getting logs from different sources can be a challenge."
"I'd love them to see maybe covering the cloud a bit more."
