    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.

    For our small and medium-sized businesses Sophos Virtualization Security has been a perfect fit. I barely recognize it is even in place as an end user, and as a manager my team never complains - it just works and works very well. If you want an easy to use and seamless solution, this is it.

    Pros
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • 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.

    • Antivirus is old hat for Sophos - we haven't had a single breach since its implementation
    • Managing and deploying Sophos was very seamless
    • Its non-intrusive nature to the end user has been better than any of our prior options.

    Cons
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • Support Services - Support during implementation
    • Proof-of-concept - Needs to more detailed
    • Troubleshooting multi-cloud/ vendor issues
    • Should contain all the compliance standards - NIST, HIPPA, FedRAMP

    • Instead of automatically installing our previous solution, we had to manually do it, but it may have been that solution that caused the issue.

    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.

    Sophos Virtualization Security has the brand recognition and the customer support that really sold us on the solution. The pricing was also very competetive and Sophos came highly suggested from our vendor and references.

    Return on Investment
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • 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,

    • Security is like life insurance - you can spend as much as you want and still not be fully covered... but with Sophos, you don't have to overly spend to feel covered.
