Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management vs. Qualys TruRisk Platform

Dome9 can be used to have visibility into cloud assets and security policies across all the virtual networks, regions, and accounts on AWS, Azure and GCP. It also provides continuous enforcement of regulatory compliance standards and security best practices, with the ability to auto-remediate misconfigurations. So Dome9 is well suited for companies using cloud providers that want to take control of their resources.

It is well suited for environments that are looking for a solution that is top notch for vulnerability scanning, and is the most accurate at doing so. It would also fit environments that have a lot of endpoints to scan or like to have scanning done on an automatic basis. It is less appropriate in environments that want to use a platform right away, without getting training in how to use it, or reading documentation on the product.

• Minimal false positives if configured properly.
• End to end visibility in real-time.
• Multi platform monitoring.

• Attestation is so easy with Qualys. I find this one feature makes the investment worth the cost
• Ease of use. Within an hour of first installing, a person can be running compliance tests without a hitch.
• Great training materials and support. I have never had to take more than twenty minutes to solve a problem either through support or the forums.

Incentivized

• Needs to add features for an on-premise cloud.
• Cost is a little high.

Incentivized

• Notices some findings which were not clear why they appear(suspected false positive).
• Working with Qualys support(for example due to the previous point) wasn't the best experience. the response was very slow.
• Qualys limit the daily API requests. In case you need more, it will cost.

Is easy to use, and the standad configuration is well prepared.

Again, the usability of Qualys has been a pinpoint for this entire review. It was easily the worst thing about the product and because of this, I would not recommend Qualys to anybody in my field. This should be something that Qualys strives to improve if they wish to stay in business.

Checkpoint support is great. They provide great SLAs and they comply with service times accordingly.

They had a support page within the WAS to report any concerns or seek help. But the UI of that is not smooth. Regardless support staff were pretty responsive and helpful. They scheduled calls to understand and address our problems. Email support is good as well.

First and foremost reason of our client selecting CheckPoint CloudGuard Posture Management / Dome9 was because they already had CheckPoint Firewalls which are in active use e.g. R75.40 and R82.x products. Customization Vs these other Vendors is another great asset Reporting is one more standout feature, + Multi-cloud capabilities Centralized dashboarding is smooth to navigate as compared to other Vendors Syslog handling is much better as compared to some other vendors , Memory and space issues if planned well are less

We find that Nessus is a great product, on par if not slightly better compared to Qualys in terms of their pricing model. However, Qualys Cloud Platform has better quality reporting, and offers great tips and suggestions on quickly closing a gap and eliminating the risk. In our organization, both products are great and meet our expectations, but due to pricing, we favor Nessus slightly more.

• Having one single pane of glass dashboard helps cut downtime for one tech to assess the overall health of the cloud.
• The cost was a little high, and the setup time was longer than expected to leverage the functionality we paid for fully.
• Overall a good product so far

Incentivized

• The most important thing that happens with this program is to automate one hundred percent the security of my system since this program is in charge of supervising each of the applications and websites in detail.
• One of the purposes for which we trust Qualys Cloud Platform is to keep our system clean and secure; the ability of this software to manage our vulnerability makes us more cautious about working with it.
