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.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't even try to use it if you somehow don't like the other Check Point products - the experience would be the same =)

What do you dislike about the product?
it does what i need - no dislikes here
thank you
thank you
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cloudguard solves the double work need to be done by both NetOps and SecOps teams for every new policy.
the ability of the SecOps to only verify and approve cuts down the operational complexity and time it takes to provision the services

CloudGuard IaaS - Intuitive entry point to securing cloud-based infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive and reactive - as it performs just like on-prem; there is very little CloudGuard learning curve
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep azure-based learning curve - but this falls outside of the scope of the CG IaaS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CG IaaS offers the flexibility of utilising VMSS for environments where scaling is a requirement, bringing an end to conversations about "how much growth do you anticipate" etc....
