Considered Both Products
Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management
Chose Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management
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

Chose Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management
Dome9 is a comprehensive security and compliance orchestration platform that provides end-to-end security life cycle management across accounts, regions, and clouds. Using Dome9 we can monitor our security baselines are applied to all our cloud accounts, also we can prevent …
Chose Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management
We are also piloting Trend Micro Cloud App Security, but we don't have enough data to make a fair comparison, but from what I've seen, Check Point offers a much more comprehensive platform.
Chose Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management
Most products have their pros and cons but Dome9 does everything Evident.io and Redlock can do and more. Evident was a good tool but merging the two products into one complicated things.
Chose Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management
Much more useful for the cloud, and less costly, at least when you already had some checkpoint products in use.
Cisco Security Cloud Control
Chose Cisco Security Cloud Control
We used the on box management platform. This required API usage for automating things. It was not scalable and a lot of features are not there. There are platforms like manage engine, but they are not Cisco FP native and had limitations as well.
Chose Cisco Security Cloud Control
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-implement configuration solution, however, with Cisco Defense Orchestrator there is an implementation in the cloud and the ease of managing all devices from a single console regardless of location, in addition to …
Chose Cisco Security Cloud Control
We didn't really look at another product - don't think there is one. Cisco Prime I think was an option, but we didn't like the GUI and didn't consider it.

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.

Use case would be if you wanted most of the functionality of the FMC on prem but had no datacenter, cloud presence in AWS, or a cloud presence in Azure for an FMCv. You gain an always up FMC to manage the firewalls due to resiliency of the cloud FMC. You get almost all the functionality of an FMC on prem.

  • Better templates like pushing config. when a particular firewall checks in with CDO.

I give this score because I believe that Cisco Defense Orchestrator helps our company to be resilient, this is because this software is also focused on offering security resilience at the enterprise level, that is, through its features such as high visibility, acceleration of threat detection and response, simple management, and end-to-end protection. By having it, it is more feasible to avoid disasters or risks in the devices that are handled daily and of course avoid data loss and, given this, be able to recover quickly if something happens.

Cisco Defense Orchestrator is a software that is easy to implement, although knowledge is required for it, but if you do not have it, going to its valuable support team is very helpful. If done knowingly, this process can take less than two hours. Having a simple implementation is a valuable feature because it saves time and expense.

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-implement configuration solution, however, with Cisco Defense Orchestrator there is an implementation in the cloud and the ease of managing all devices from a single console regardless of location, in addition to its analysis of security policies security help us to know if the ones that are being used are fulfilling their function or if changes are required to make infrastructure more secure, that is why we chose this Cisco software.

  • 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
