CloudGuard IaaS by Check Point
What do you like best about the product?
While using the CloudGuard IaaS you will get almost the same experience as with other Check Point firewall solutions. The components of the infrastructure are integrated with each other quite well. All the common Check Point Next Generation FireWall blades are supported - Firewall, IPS, Antivirus, VPN etc. There is not big difference from the usual onprem Gateway from this perspective.
I find it really useful that CloudGuard supports all the main players on the Public Clouds market - AWS, GCP and Azure - as well as some exotic ones like Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud and IBM Cloud. I would say there is about 95% probability that the platform your are using is supported, and I don't know any other solution for now which may provide the same number. Moreover, it integrates with most of the public cloud management solutions, so you could automate modification of the security policies based on some triggers or changes in your the cloud infrastructure.
I also like that different licensing models are supported. For testing/evaluation/PoC projects you could go with the Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license without wasting a lot of money in case the solution somehow doesn't suit you. And for production you could use the Bring-your-own-license (BYOL) way, applying the license bought earlier.

What do you dislike about the product?
I see nothing to dislike about CloudGuard IaaS right now, I'm quite happy with the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the common set of blades, literally the same as on-premises -
Firewal and IPS to protect from the common attacks, Application Control for application layer stuff, IPSec VPN to provide connectivity between our environments etc.

Don't even try to use it if you somehow don't like the other Check Point products - the experience would be the same =)
Blink of an eye
What do you like best about the product?
CP's Blink GW creation application makes creating new GWs a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not come across much that I disklike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently using CP CG IaaS along with Aviatrix. Our app teams have multiple VPCs that need to be peered and in order to inspect traffic both north/south and east/west using CG makes it very easy and reliable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of creating new GWs is an incredible feature
Risk assessments with barely any overhead
What do you like best about the product?
Sanity check from a third party vendor on our setup.
Risk we didn't even know existed. You cannot be a cloud expert in all clouds and know every single service on every single platform.
Super easy to deploy

Super easy to deploy
What do you dislike about the product?
The product still is very AWS focussed.
Dashboards accross all cloud accounts should be more interactive and more drill down.
No real single pane of glass but mostly individual assessments per subscription/AWS tenant
