Network security Work very efficiently

  • May 06, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
First advantage has to be that it supports multiple cloud vendors meaning that we can monitor multiple cloud accounts with one subscription.
IT provides a clean view of the network traffic
It is very capable of isolating the malicious traffic from the regular traffic
It monitors all the traffic to and from the containers including on Prem to cloud environment and vice versa also the connection between the containers
The UI is very clean and easy to understand
Implementation is quite fast
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many downsides to the network security module but the logs supported are limited they only support cloud trial logs and vpc logs
We cannot get end to end traffic view which if present can be more helpful at times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As said earlier the biggest problem we had with other solutions is that they only support native services where as cloud gaurd supports almost all the cloud service providers

go to solution for multi platform cloud users

  • April 24, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
the first important advantage is that you can link multiple cloud accounts from multiple providers and works absolutely fine detecting the maliciuos traffic from open internet to VPCs and vice versa, it can also inspect the traffic between the VPCs from on prem to the cloud services basically it monitors all the traffic to ensure high security
it is easy to use and implement
UI is very clean and understandable
supports custom rulesets
traffic explorer comes handy to provide easy understanding on the network traffic
customer support is satisfactory
What do you dislike about the product?
only VPC and Cloud trails can be processed
despitee the traffic graph being a great feature it lacks the clear end to end details
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
since we are using multiple cloud accounts to manage the applications it is hard to keep track of them in a single dashboard and cloudgaurd is solving this problem for us with its top notch expertise

an amazing network security tool for cross platform environments

  • April 23, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
first and most impoertant advantage of cloud gaurd network security is that it is a cross platform tool and can greatly help us to keep a track of the security standards by filtering the malicious traffic
it comes with a very clean and neat user Interface.
the threat engine works so good.
it comes with sufficient built in filters to search for specific kind of traffic
traffic explorer helps in easier understanding of the network .
custom notification can be set
easy to integrate
easy to implement
What do you dislike about the product?
one can only get cloud trail and VPC logs.
using terraform to manage security policies can be tricky at times and might need to be reviewed to ensure objecte are created as per the expectation, these are not logged to ensure terraform state and the checkpoint databases are in sync with eachother.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
unlike native services specific to provider cloudgaurd provides cross platform support meaning that i can still get overall security of the cloud environments across the various proiders from a single dashboard and CloudGuard Network Security provides inspection throughout many parts of the cloud network.
Inspection of traffic from the internet to a VPC and from VPC to the internet .
inspects the traffic between VPCs
Inspeciton between VPCs and on-prem
IPS fuctionalities
Detailed traffic logging
identity based access

probably one of the best cloud network security tool.

What do you like best about the product?
These are the points that i find best from my daily use of cloud gaurd
The User Interface is clean and easy to understand
the threat engine works so good
it has built in predefined log query (filters) that can save lot of manual work
traffic explorer is really helpful interms providing a breife understanding of the network traffic
ability to set up custom notifications is very useful
It supports custom rules
easy to integrate
easy to implement
great customer support
What do you dislike about the product?
the logs are limited to cloud trial and VPC logs
although traffic graph is great it is limited we cannot get end to end traffic view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
since we have multiple cloud service providers and 7 different accounts for various applications, it is challenging to keep track of the security compliance of the cloud environment and any security breach starts at network level and is by far the most important part and cloud gaurd greatly helps us to keep track of the security standards.

Robust features in a cloud native world

  • March 21, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Using CloudGuard network security allows for a familiar implementation with all the features of an onprem appliance. The deployment can be completely codified using Terrafrom, allowing for reapeatable deployments for each region. Using the AWS GWLB and endpoint service, inspecition can be extended to any / all member accounts for ingress / egress inspection. The GWLB deployment also allows for right sizing of EC2s that can increase/decrease with autoscaling. The policy can also be codified using Terraform, allowing for teams to inner-source access requests, but ensuring the proper security teams can still approve the access before it is rolled out.
What do you dislike about the product?
When using Terraform to manage the security policy, the object creation layout needs to be well thought through to ensure objects are created as disired. Also, publishing changes needs to be accounted for on Terraform apply success and failures so Terraform state and the Check Point database stay in sync.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudGuard Network Security provides inspection throughout many parts of the cloud network.
1. Inspection of traffic from the internet inbound to a VPC.
2. Inspection of traffic from a VPC to the internet. Internet categories and applications can be used instead of having to know each exact FQDN, which would be a major pain and struggle for engineering teams.
3. Inspection between VPCs
4. Inspeciton between VPCs and on-prem
5. IPS
6. Detailed traffic logging
7. Identity based access

Since this deployment is EC2 based, traffic mirroing is also possible to enable external IDS systems.
