We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems.""It provides the most useful tools for protecting our financial account records from hackers.""The automatic learning and an AI engine help to find more modern vulnerability problems.""The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution.""The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security.""Gives us centralized firewall management for both Windows and Linux distros. Also provides a clear view of the security configurations and connections across environments (DMZ, external and internal networks).""People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially.""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 gives you value for your investment.""As it is based on AWS, it is not a problem.""Macro integration is a good feature.""The most valuable aspect for us is the fact that the product seamlessly integrates with the Forcepoint DLP.""Generally, most of our customers are happy with it though.""The product offers an easy initial setup."

Cons
"The costs are high.""The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues.""I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming.""Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement.""The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point.""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 accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there.""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."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Cons →

"Forcepoint removed the ability to scan for unsanctioned applications on the CASB.""When using the Forcepoint CASB, and you are a remote worker, basically not in the office, you have to have an agent on your computer, a Forcepoint agent. However, with many other CASB solutions, they can integrate with MDM.""The solution needs to be easier to install, and they need to clean up the backend, so stuff doesn't break.""Integration is an area of the solution that needs to be improved.""They should work on the possibility of consolidating all of the products with the group of agents.""Lacks different ways to authenticate users."

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."

    Top Answer:It gives you value for your investment, but it doesn't contribute. So, I would rate it as an eight.
    Top Answer:Some IDPs, such as Azure AD, are not compatible at the moment. It becomes a problem just to authenticate with Azure AD. I hope they will look into it. For Fort Knoxville, the agent is different from… more »
