Complete CSPM solution for multiple clouds
What do you like best about the product?
Deployment is straigstraightforward. The The initial price is cheap. Even you can use it for free with a limited feature set. Entegration is also rapid, but need R/O or R/W access based on your aim. Documentation is good. It is a full solution covering compliance, network, IAM even the CI/CD and K8s security. Posture management and compliance is the most highlighted item. In fact dome9 is the most enriched compliance solution on the marketing. There's no need for additional query learning but you can use the GSL for advanced searching. You have the option to automate and mitigate the findings throughout the screen. Product supports multiple cloud providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is increasing with every new asset added through the cloud. It would be best if you made a budget assignment every year. The problem related to the CSPM is the ownership of this product. It has many outputs, and teams should engage in solving these findings. Otherwise, you see the same results again and again. You have the option for excluding/ignore; however, security risks are increased with exceptions. 3rd party integrations are not easy; you can't make one click integration with ticketing systems like jira, servicenow etc.
Interestingly there's no tight integration with dome9 and checkpoint cloudguard solution on the cloud. I expect more integration with checkpoint integrations like harmony and cloudguard. Dome9 needs constant monitoring and operation. It would help if you assigned a team for the product ownership where this team will be responsible for coordination and follow-ups. It has no built-in security scanner; however current version supports tenable.io. The updates of the dome9 service don't have alerting. You see what the new features have come after the login popup.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CSPM is a must solution for the companies which will be on the cloud. It's working like an eagle eye. We now have total visibility and control for the cloud. For high risks, we have automation tasks to mitigate directly through the dome9. Dome9 solves the compliance requirements to regulations. Reports help the auditors and compliance teams to get the exact results. We can now fully categorize the risks where we reevaluate our security procedures and guidelines to solve the gaps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First, get the executive support, then arrange a project team. This product is not a one-time solution. It needs daily monitoring, and some items on the dashboard need high-level knowledge. This team should consist of champions. Test environments on the cloud should also be integrated with Dome9. I see test environments without CSPM due to price. Get a six month or yearly check from the vendor through the PS for dome9 to see if the solution is working correctly. Some updates need a particular configuration on the cloud and in the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of the native automation modules for Terraform and Ansible - in the era of DevOps all new products needs to be release with such support, in my opinion.
I also hope that Dome9 will evenrually support other Cloud platforms, like Alibaba.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially we got the product just for it's compliance possibilities (we have to provide compliance reports on a regular basis), but now also rely heavily on configs "auto-healing".
Cloud infra visualisation is also good, especially for AWS with its cumbersome security groups.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Request a free demo directly from Check Point and see whether Dome9 suits you.
Also pay attention to the pricing - there are no tricks, and licensing model is transparent, but the final numbers may surprise you.

CloudGuard Dome 9 by Check Point
What do you like best about the product?
+ Really nice visualization of the infra, including network topology, firewalls etc. It's cozy to configure stuff, and wander around the interface in general.
+ Powerful Compliance Engine. We rely heavily on this feature, since must comply to the various security standards to work in the gambling sphere across the globe, and especially in the United States and European Union.
+ The solution continuously monitors config modifications and may alarm the relevant administrators, or event revert the configs automatically.

What do you dislike about the product?
- For now it's cloud-only solution. I hope in the future it would be extended to on-premises
- Price, but that's valid for all the security products =)
