Quotes From Members
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 apply common tools across all accounts.""It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches.""The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed. The solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard.""This product provides a really nice visualization of the infrastructure, including network topology, firewalls, etc.""It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants.""On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us for this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures.""Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity.""The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is the training."

Cons
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement.""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.""We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs.""I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming.""The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts.""Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management.""CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions.""The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."

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."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
