We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Skybox Security Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the ability to create pipeline rules, the enhanced NetOps security, and the deep visibility across our entire infrastructure."
"Cloud security posture management is the feature we've been using the longest."
"It has great scalability."
"The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."
"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"Helps identify and correct misconfigurations in cloud environments, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are secure and optimized."
"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."
"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"The way that it's built with three-tier architecture, it makes it very horizontally scalable, so I can have multiple fallbacks. If one machine does fall offline, there are four other machines that are doing the exact same job to pick it up"
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"We use Network Assurance for network visualisation and troubleshooting."
"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."
"Integration could be improved."
"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."
"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
"I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."
"We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"The solution needs improvement in firewall configuration checks. I would also like to see more configuration checks for Forcepoint and for other non-supported firewalls."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
