CloudGuard is a great option for cloud hosted firewall
What do you like best about the product?
Very good intrusion and threat detection. Integrates well with the cloud we use (Azure) and works well at local branches. Flexible enough to deploy from large centralized data centers to IoT/OT devices to local branches. Logging is exceptional and one of the best experiences I have noticed in this space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive -- depending on requirements. Experience is disjointed at times and you can tell everything hasn't been fully integrated in smart console. Policy creation and editing is tedious and difficult to see.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CheckPoint CloudGuard is an excellent choice for organizations that need a cloud-based firewall solution. I had a great experience from contract negotiation to implementation. Support was excellent, consulting is top-notch, and the product speaks for itself. We used this solution exclusively with Azure.
The solution to secure the networks of your architecture deployed in the cloud.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and quick solution to deploy and integrate
What do you dislike about the product?
The solution requires having clear ideas of what you want to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to have visibility of what was happening in the infrastructure networks deployed in the cloud.
With this solution, I have that visibility, and I can protect it.

Cloud Security Posture Management
What do you like best about the product?
CloudGuard CNAPP provides comprehensive visibility and security across workloads, containers, serverless functions, and infrastructure. This unified approach makes it easier to identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats from a single platform.
Auto-Remediation and Smart Posture Management
Identity and Entitlements Awareness: Its advanced identity-aware analysis of permissions (IAM) across cloud environments helps reduce overprivileged access and detects risky combinations of identities and resources—crucial for reducing lateral movement risks.

What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is feature-rich, but this can make it complex and challenging for new users or teams without deep cloud security expertise. Configuration and onboarding can be time-consuming.
1. UI/UX Can Be Clunky
2. Limited Customization in Alerts and Reports

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP addresses several critical problems in cloud security, and the benefits typically include:
Cloud Misconfigurations: CloudGuard continuously scans configurations against security benchmarks (e.g., CIS, NIST) and alerts or auto-remediates issues—reducing exposure risk and maintaining compliance posture
Lack of Visibility Across Multi-Cloud Environments:CloudGuard provides a unified view across all cloud assets and services, giving you centralized visibility and control—reducing blind spots and simplifying audits.
Overprivileged Access and Identity Risks:CloudGuard’s IAM analytics identifies and helps correct overprivileged identities and risky access paths—enforcing least privilege and improving identity hygiene.
Compliance and Governance Gaps:Automated compliance assessments and reports help maintain regulatory posture and streamline audits, saving time and reducing penalties.
