Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."Cloud security posture management is the feature we've been using the longest."
"All of the features are very useful in today's market."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is able to bring visibility into that cloudy space where the security departments do not really see what is happening on the DevOps side. It brings visibility, security control, and standardization."
"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
"The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"We've been happy with the pricing."
"This is an easy means of setting up high-availabilty firewall protection."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it is very customer friendly."
"A good network security system for medium-sized businesses with an excellent GUI interface that gives a graphic view of network status."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiOS are the granular control and their interoperability is good."
"I am satisfied with Fortinet FortiOS. It's a cool product and has a lot of UTM features. It has application control, web filtering, antivirus, IPS/IDS, DNS filtering, and many things in that firewall. It also has a web application firewall WAF feature. On the feature side, it's a good firewall."
"We have expanded the wireless access point and switches using Fortinet FortiOS."
"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."
"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 strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."
"Down the road, we would like to see automation. That is probably a feature that most people want. If they can automate patching a vulnerability, it will be much easier."
"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."
"The report and policy optimization tools can be improved in the next release."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboard easier to use."
"Technical support could be better. Some competitors have much more responsive support teams."
"I would like to see smaller and more frequent updates."
"For me, it is important to be able to block VPN applications, like Facebook, so I would like to see that included in the next release. With this version, if you want to block or allow a site, you now have to drag all the domains related to this site."
"I want to see a better integration or a better integration with the endpoint protection or with EDR with the security life cycle."
"Fortinet FortiOS is stable. However, last month we had an issue with a released patch. We had to receive another update to fix the firewall issue consuming all of the resources. The patches should be tested more before going into circulation."
"The GUI could be improved to make it more usable, easier to administer, and easier to configure."
