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.

They are very quick to respond and go the extra mile to help address our issues. That said, we've only needed them at the early stages of implementation for support help and occasionally when we want to do a full re-scan of our site. They are very flexible in working with us on the timing of such scans.

We have not used other cloud security products. While choosing a product a large factor was the current and future integrations with other Cisco security stack products. While this product is not the most affordable, the security provided to the organization and client data is well worth the investment. We use SecureX to integrate and perform automated responses.
