"Helps identify and correct misconfigurations in cloud environments, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are secure and optimized."
"The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
"Checkpoint posture management gives you visibility across your entire cloud infrastructure, so it helps you with management, maintenance, and compliance. With visibility across all these cloud platforms, you can protect against compromised credentials or identity theft."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment."
"Cloud security posture management is the feature we've been using the longest."
"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."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"You do need to pay extra in order to get better support."
"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."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"The security of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management could improve. There are always new security issues coming out."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"The impact analysis that they perform can be improved. It is currently lacking. It should be more detailed."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, the visibility is not immediately available for the environment. We have the native servers that come with the solutions, but we cannot see them in the Check Point log. Another issue is with the integrated file monitoring. It would make sense to have stuff like file integrity monitoring and malware scanning available within this module because we don't want to integrate another product."
"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
