Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management vs. Druva Security Cloud

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.

We are a cloud-only shop, so Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is a natural fit. We do not have a large Azure VM presence, so I do not know how well they play in that space. If you are not cloud-focused, I am not sure that Druva Data Resiliency Cloud's strengths will be easily seen. However, in the cloud they are tough to beat.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• We like the option of downloading backed up files both individually and as a group.
• The ransomware protection is a security feature that puts our minds at ease when it comes to the safety of our data.
• The Customer Success team does frequent reach outs and technical health checks.

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

Incentivized

• Advanced Ransomware Recovery doesn't work for all Druva offerings, that would be a great feature to have.
• The archiving feature could also offer more price flexibility.
• Seating up the initial configurations can be a little tedious due to the length of the documentation involved.

This is the second company I've brought to Druva. Just today, I was tasked with recovering a file from a user that last saw it 6 months ago. I was able to restore it in under 5 minutes of getting the request. It's really that easy.

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

Usability is really high on my list when it comes to software/applications. As with all new technologies, there is a bit of a learning curve, but things are relatively easy to find. Occasionally you have to do a few extra clicks, but for the most part, it's quite user friendly and intuitive. You don't have to go a dozen levels deep to find what you're looking for - or at least the surface level issue.

Like any service, there are scheduled maintenance periods and unscheduled outages, however outages have been very limited and fortunately have not had any impact on our environment.

Page response in the admin center is acceptable- rarely are we waiting for data to load. Backup speeds seem fine, and restore speeds are OK considering it's likely pulling data from cold storage. It often takes 30-60 seconds for the restore to begin transferring files, but speeds are acceptable thereafter

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

I can't downvote this facet on account of my never having to call upon Druva's Tech Support. Self-help is always my first port of call and the documentation provided by Druva has allowed me to proceed to a point where I can confidently use the system. Even without support, I trust the system implicitly. That said, I'm pretty sure if and when I need it, it'll be awesome.

They are very well knowledgeable. They conducted a two day training session and they explained each and everything.

As an administrator, if I had a user who needed additional training, it was available. As an Administrator, the product was so easy I didn't need it

Implementation from cloud ranger to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud platform was a seamless integration experience to upgrade the policies and license for continual backup/recovery support. This may be one of the best "set it and forget it" apps for backup solutions, that also allow notifications for failures etc...

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 also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our experience was better for what we got/needed.

As the product is cloud based within AWS, scaleability is unlimited. The on-premise units of scale are predictable and allow administrators to scale up / down as needed. In my experience, the flexibility around these appliances, allow organisations to vertically or horizontally scale the environment with confidence and ease. Conversely, it is possible to set thresholds to ensure that organisations do not over commit and manage budgets effectively.

• 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

• More importantly it reduced 60% of our operational overhead and time savings in maintaining the backups.
• This also tremendously reduced the manual failures like deduplicating the backups and there were many cases it saved us 40% of our entire bill by taking point in time backups.
• It saved 1000's of dollars when we used the DR plan and rolled a new infra in less than few minuted with less manpower and less time.
