Check Point CloudGuard starts at Custom enterprise pricing / Per-gateway for network security (hybrid (per asset + per gateway)). Lacework starts at Custom enterprise pricing (resource-based (per cloud resource)). As always, the sticker price only tells part of the story. Factor in add-ons, implementation costs, and what's actually included at each tier.
