  • November 27, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the upsides of Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is that it offers security across multi-cloud environments and real-time compliance monitoring. It also has built-in automation, including auto-remediation, which helps IT teams by fixing common issues automatically, improving efficiency, and minimizing human error. Proactive threat prevention and the ability to enhance oversight across cloud environments make it an easy-to-use and reliable solution for organizations. Customer support is good, there are active community resources, and responsive helpdesks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has extensive features, but they aren’t always well explained, leading to underutilization. It is not very easy to implement due to its steep learning curve and lack of strong onboarding support. Another downside is its scalability, which can be limited in very large, complex environments.

  • November 20, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Check Point CloudGuard because it provides strong, advanced threat protection that goes beyond native cloud firewalls. It also gives a single, centralized console to manage security across multiple clouds. Policies are dynamic and update automatically using tags and identities, which reduces manual work. Overall, it makes cloud security simpler, consistent, and more powerful.

I dislike that Check Point CloudGuard can be complex to deploy and manage, especially for beginners. It also requires higher skill levels compared to native cloud firewalls. Licensing and costs can be confusing and sometimes expensive for small teams. Updates and troubleshooting often depend heavily on Check Point TAC, which can slow things down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudGuard helps solve the challenge of securing workloads across multiple clouds with one consistent policy. It protects against advanced threats that native cloud firewalls can’t block. It also automates security using tags and identities, reducing manual work. Overall, it improves visibility, strengthens protection, and saves a lot of operational time.

  • Review provided by G2

Additionally, while the SmartConsole is powerful, it feels heavy and reminiscent of a pre-premises legacy console, which isn’t ideal considering most operations are moving to the cloud. Also, the initial setup wasn't straightforward; we had to navigate it ourselves, relying on available resources without much direct guidance.
