Oct 15, 2025
We've been using check point CloudGuard for securing our cloud infrastructure, and overall it's been a solid experience. The platform offers strong visibility assets and helps us stay compliant with security policies. Setup took some time initially, but once configured, it's been reliable and easy to manage. Occasional UI lags and complex rule configurations can be a bit frustrating, but the overall protection and insights it provides make it worthwhile.

Like

What I like most about this product is as an administrator, I am able to manage rules easily, monitor traffic, the visibility into logs and events help me quickly identify and resolve issues and it is easy to push updates across the cloud environment is easy and clear. It syncs cloud assets, which saves manual work and time too, additionally the centralized management and security policies across multiple cloud solutions.

Dislike

- The initial setup and policy configuration can be a bit complex, especially for team that are new to cloud-native security tools. - The user interface sometimes feels a little outdated and can lag when loading large dashboards or reports. - Pricing could be more flexible, some features come in higher-tier packages that might not be affordable for smaller environments. - Integration with certain third-party tools like CI/CD platform could be smoother.

Dislike

Initially I got too complex to setup Sometimes it pops up false positives

Dislike

As an admin, the UI feels a bit slow and also sometimes you require multiple clicks to reach basic settings. Some Features also need more automation to reduce manual work. Licensing models can get complex and expensive too. Troubleshooting can take extra time due to logs being detailed but not always easy to filter out the issues.

    Comprehensive Cloud Security With Simple Setup But UI And Automation Need Work

    4.0
    Dec 1, 2025
    The product is stable and easy to manage and also offers smooth and strong cloud protection. As I have observed updates keep improving the service and security. Setup is also very easy to configure, once it is configured it works absolutely well. This solution delivers solid threat prevention and good visibility in the cloud. But as per my observation it lacks in UI and automation a little bit there is room for improvement in this solution, but overall experience is good.
