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.

  • 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.

If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

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,
