What do you like best about the product?
It was really easy to start using Dome9.
Dome9 is available for the main players of the Cloud market - Azure, AWS, GCP.
Good and friendly UI - the maim plus for all the CheckPoint products.
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

  • Review provided by G2

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 =)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud infra visualization and automatic compliance checks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Request a demo with the vendor to see how suitable this solution for your particular needs and underlying infrastructure.
