    Armor gives you what you need to be successful regardless of technical ability. If you can maintain the systems yourself, you are definitely ahead of the game with their service. If you're not prepared to configure and maintain the systems, they do a pretty good job of getting it set up during the onboarding process so that you don't need to dig into the technical guts too much. If you find yourself in over your head, their support staff can handle it for you in most cases.

    Checkpoint Cloud Guard Native Security Platform is much better in native cloud infra security requirements. It works well, and the manageability of said product is good. But If you are having some hybrid kind of environment, it is not suitable, and the products have more complexity to deploy. There are so many other players to do well in this segment.

    Pros
    Armor
    • Security - we have requirements met right out of the box and the implementation of new resources is done with security in mind.
    • Speed - We can scale resources easy and the infrastructure is fast and efficient.
    • Responsiveness - Support tickets are handled very fast with almost immediate solutions.

    • Advanced Threat protection via Check Point CloudGuard proven ThreatCloud intelligence feeds for malicious IP's is a nice feature.
    • We have not set up the cloud bots auto-remediation functionality yet, but from initial testing, it looks to be something worth utilizing.
    • Having reporting tie in's with our ServiceNow asset management platform is very handy.

    Cons
    Armor
    • Authentication and access against the secure messaging portal is overkill when the response I'm logging in to see merely says, "yes, we have your message. An agent will respond shortly". There should be an option to receive updates like this through email.
    • The online portal that allows us to clone servers is very slow to respond. More than once I've spun up an additional server due to the lack of visual feedback on the initial request.
    • The web application firewall does not seem to be sophisticated enough to differentiate between logged in administrators and end users. We use a CMS system which allows admins to create scripts. These often get barred by the WAF even though they are not malicious.

    Support Rating
    Armor
    Approximately 50% of all messages we receive are automated. Either that an agent will be assigned, has been assigned, or a ticket is closed. I'd like to see more 'real' interaction, and less box ticking, though I appreciate process has to be followed. That's the one point off. Everything else is very good.

    Checkpoint support is great. They provide great SLAs and they comply with service times accordingly.

    Most products have their pros and cons but Dome9 does everything Evident.io and Redlock can do and more. Evident was a good tool but merging the two products into one complicated things.

    • Significant $$$ cost savings as compared to other competitors in the market
    • Long term contracting also helped in cost savings and good ROI - 750k USD approx
    • Multi-vendor and Multi-cloud capabilities also helped us forecast the capex well
    • No need of any other IAM solution - Some cost savings in that area as well for us,
