Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Native Security Platform vs. Cisco Multicloud Defense

Checkpoint Cloud Guard Native Security Platform is much better in native cloud infra security requirements. It works well, and the manageability of said product is good. But If you are having some hybrid kind of environment, it is not suitable, and the products have more complexity to deploy. There are so many other players to do well in this segment.

The sell key was for my company the monitoring all outgoing data and between each cloud provider which we use from all departments which keeps their data in a cloud environment. We could apply specific rules for monitoring and DPL on all traffic, which was the key feature that we were missing in the cloud solution. Also, they provide security features like intrusion prevention, antimalware, and full-path URL filtering, which are nice to have. Applying all at the start can be really time consuming but for the time we spent and how the solution help us to prevent data leave our company it was for sure worth it.

• DLP monitoring - key item for us which helps to view if anything which should leave our environment our or even between each part of network between/inside specific clouds
• Segmentation of subnet, basic but helpful to isolate each host into their own part of single subnet and connect them, including all visibility features which are offered by Cisco defense systems
• Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment

As of yet I havent logged a TAC case - It will be interesting to see how it is supported as a new product in the medium term

We have performed all research and evaluation for all competitive players as well we did POC for every product. Based on our comparison chart, we found Check Point Cloud Guard Native Security Platform much better and works extremally well compared to all other peers. It has a robust architecture and has really good features.

The ease of use, analytics, and just overall security feature set of Cisco Multicloud Defense is hard to beat. Their product is very intriguing and quite a bit similar. However, I have learned from past experiences that you get what you pay for. Cisco may be a little more pricy but it is worth it.

Incentivized

• Negative - ROI.
• Positive - Good product with UI.
• Negative - Technical Support.

• Saved a lot of money on Operational Overhead. I would say we were able to save more than 10 hours every week.
