We use the solution mostly for policy pushing to other gateways.

We deployed the tool for a customer. They faced an attack, but Check Point did not allow it. Check Point does not allow unauthorized access to the network. It just sends a message to the person saying they are not authorized to access the network. The exceptions work very well. Most of the attacks go through the web path. The tool does a good job of securing the web path.

We can easily push the policies to any of our gateways. The solution manages the gateways. It works well with other products. It integrates well with Cisco products, too.

The tool is expensive.

I have been using the solution for the last two years.

The tool is very stable. The equipment is never down.

We have more than ten customers.

The support is very good. We get a response immediately whenever we enter a support request on the website. We do not have to wait for one or two hours. The team also offers remote support. The support provided by Check Point is one of the best in the market.

We have most of the products on-premise. We have only one client on a VM. Check Point offers training for their products. They usually send us a link every time they launch a new feature. Unless we go through the tutorials, it will be difficult for us to deploy the solution. However, it is easy to deploy when you know how to do it. It is easy to navigate if we have read about the gadget.

The tool is expensive. However, if we buy Check Point Security Management, we do not have to buy anything else. We get all the features we need in a single solution. We get value for our money.

If we want to troubleshoot, we just have to log in to the SMS. Everything is listed there. We just have to log in to the gateway we have an issue with. We need not go to the server rooms. I see no improvements needed in the product. The other gateways and SD-WAN could be improved. If someone wishes to use the product, they have chosen the best option. It provides security, reliability, and support. Though it is expensive, it is the best. It has all the features we need. The product is absolutely excellent. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We utilize Check Point Security Management for our daily security operations, including managing firewall rules, reviewing alerts, and generating reports on a weekly basis.

We've integrated Check Point Security Management with some of our business associates' portals for HR, finance, and payroll activities, which are outsourced. Check Point alarms us about any version changes on these sites, allowing us to block unauthorized changes. So far, we haven't encountered any serious incidents that require immediate action. We receive incident reports, but they usually involve blocked or quarantined threats rather than major security breaches. Additionally, our internal management console provides us with alerts, adding another layer of security monitoring.

Over the past 1.5  years, we've started monitoring it more regularly, analyzing alerts closely. The most beneficial features for us are the alert classifications, which help us prioritize critical issues, and the detailed reports that provide insights into attack origins and purposes, such as TLS violations or content violations. 

While we use a cloud-based Security Control console, we primarily conduct in-depth analysis of reports on a weekly basis to enhance our security posture.

Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality. 

I'd also like to see enhancements in content filtering and categorization features.

I would appreciate the ability to restrict forwarding of confidential documents to specific groups, ensuring tighter security measures.

I have been using Check Point Security Management for the past 1.5 years.

I would rate the stability 9 out of 10. 

I would rate the scalability 8 out of 10. 

We faced issues, but with the help of tech support, it was solved. It took almost one week approximately to set the solution through firewall.

We rely on tech support to enhance our capabilities.

We have a small, focused team of four engineers.

Currently, we only use Check Point and are satisfied with its benefits in terms of time-saving and security performance, estimating a 30% time savings.

The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense.

I have evaluated another product before Check Point but found the local account manager to be more aggressive.

I would rate the product overall at 8 out of 10, mentioning that while functionalities are there, improvements could be made to make it more user-friendly for laymen, such as incorporating drag-and-drop functionality.

We use the product as a primary gateway firewall for all offices at different locations. 

We have deployed their high-end firewall UTMs to medium business grade devices 1400 series. They are easy to manage either centrally or as separate devices. We are using them for Network security including firewall rules, NATTing, Web application access, IPSec VPN tunneling between offices and cloud services, user VPN clients for access from home, data encryption, anti-malware/anti-virus solutions, and as network gateway devices for routing and DNS.

We have seen tremendous improvement in the overall security of the organization's IT assets. We performed Pen Tests and External vulnerability audits on our network and we always scored top-rated thanks to Check Point. 

Their management portal and firmware are very stable and don't require frequent maintenance. Their IPSec tunneling is very stable, especially with Azure and AWS networks. 

Access to detailed network logs in real time helps us decide and take prompt action to block/fix threats. 

The most valuable aspects of the solution include:

• IPSec VPN Tunneling: they are easy to configure and offer multiple options to set them up with Cloud services and other vendor firewall products over certificates, shared keys etc.
• DDoS Protection: Firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance.
• HA and Clustering: Seamless load management and High Availability between nodes of firewall clusters.
• Firewall Rules: You have access to set up rules at a very granular level and all are accessible through the GUI platform as well as over CMDLET.

We didn't find any major feature missing or lacking in Check Point products that we used. We'd just like them to continue to improve their products with new features and updates. 

We'd like to see more and more integration possibilities between Checkpoint and other vendor security solutions such as Malwarebytes, SIEM solution providers, and standalone vulnerability scanners.

The Check Point SandBlast platform could also be merged with the Check Point GAIA platform for a central management console and easier controls.

I've used the solution for more than ten years.

The solution is very stable compared to peers.

The solution is highly scalable.

Technical support is satisfactory, however, it takes some time to escalate your ticket.

Positive

We did use Sophos and Cisco ASA, however, they were either complicated products to manage or lacked features.

The initial setup wasn't difficult after you attended free platform support sessions by Check Point.

We handled the initial setup in-house.

We evaluated Sophos, Cisco ASA, SonicWall, and FortiGate.

One of the recent use cases for this solution has been related to a power company, which was facing issues but was able to get its infrastructure secured and get back its business continuity and growth. In addition, its management was able to get back its confidence with solutions or services provided by Check Point.

The client was able to quantify its security elements. As a result, a strong defensive framework was developed. Deployment of Check Point's solution resulted in the evasion of any existing and potential threats.

Check Point is not just a firewall. They deliver everything including IPS, application control, threat emulation and extraction, identity awareness, and more. In line with the quantum security gateways, other elements and services as provided by Check Point have also proven to be very helpful and reliable in keeping the company environment secured. The organization has also gone a great mile to tag itself as a proactive threat elimination expert in the industry viz a viz its competitors.

Harmony Endpoint is one of the great solutions by Check Point; it ensures compliance with policies and minimizes the risk of threats entering through endpoints. 

It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware. 

It has proved to be very successful in identifying ransomware behaviors such as file encryption or attempts to compromise operating system backups and safely restore ransomware-encrypted files automatically. 

While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory. There is also latency in the administrative panel when entering. There has been a problem with updating licenses as well. There is ground-level feedback based on interaction with the relevant stakeholders that states implementing it would make a major difference in the overall experience.

I've used the solution for two years.

The solution has not caused major deviations and the historical experience has been quite good. The stability and reliability of the solution is pretty much appreciated

The overall impression of the scalability is good and impressive.

Technical support has been pretty good.

Positive

I have been involved with a lot of other partners in parallel, depending on the requirements of the customers.

I am not directly involved in the setup and deployment of the product.

The implementation was handled by an in-house team.

I've witnessed an ROI of 25% to 30%.

Users should actively evaluate the existing options available in the market and finalize the one that matches their requirements, budget, and priorities. Check Point can definitely be considered based on my personal experience.

The choice to evaluate would not be my personal decision but the requirement raised by the customers.

Our use cases are protection infrastructure in a financial corporate environment.

Check Point firewalls meet all the PCI guidelines that regulate players in the financial market.

The support is pretty incredible.

There is room for improvement in reliability. 

I have been using this solution for ten years. I worked from version 840 to 8120.

I would rate the stability a six out of ten.

It is very scalable. I would rate the scalability for this solution a ten out of ten.

I initially took Cisco training for routers, switches, and firewalls. I did actually work up the Cisco firewalls long enough to convert them to Check Point.

The initial setup was complex. But that was really the fault of Check Point just because we deployed it into the Google Cloud environment, and their environment is a little different.

We have security management deployed on-premises and on the cloud.

The pricing is about par for the enterprise-class firewalls.

Palo Alto and Cisco. And the reason for going with this solution was the price.  So, with Cisco, it was priced. We actually checked the overall price of the cost of ownership. When you talk about support costs and everything else, was cheaper than Cisco. And with Palo Alto, also had reliability issues that could not be overcome by their support.

I definitely recommend it, but unless you're fully trained and experienced on Check Point, you should get the better support program. 

Check Point has support rep programs that go all the way up to putting one of their own people in your business to help you. Then, they have support programs. If you're an expert, you just need to be able to download updated files and stuff. They have support programs like that, too. The worst possible situation is if somebody isn't really skilled with the thing and they cheap out on the support program, and they'll just flounder.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Check Point plays a crucial role in enhancing our security firewall solution in our company. It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering.

The most valuable feature for me is the firewall. Whether it's five stars or even higher, the analytics reports it provides are truly impressive. They offer valuable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that shed light on various situations and different logs.

They could offer educational courses to help individuals improve their knowledge and skills.

I have been working with it for two years now.

It provides good stability features. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would rate its scalability capabilities nine out of ten.

In my previous company, I had experience using Fortinet and Palo Alto.

I find that the setup process is somewhat distinct from other solutions. I believe that having some guidance from the website or tutorials would make it easier.

I strongly recommend this solution because it's a highly effective and reliable choice. I would rate it nine out of ten.

We use Check Point Security Management for firewall management.

The solution is easy to use and comes with few vulnerabilities. You don't have to worry about release upgrades. Life cycle management is very easy. 

Check Point Security Management lacks some of the competitor features. 

I have been using the solution for six years. 

Check Point Security Management is stable. 

We have around 4,500 users for the product.  

Check Point Security Management doesn't have good support since it is difficult to get the right person. 

Neutral

The solution is expensive. 

I use it for managing ten clusters in our on-premise environment. With this kind of management, it's possible to question its policy and change many configurations in the files. With its management, we got all the logs from the environment. With Check Point Security Management, we get the benefits of deploying the configuration.

Owing to the availability of many kinds of incidents, I can say that the solution has served to improve my organization.

Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time. It is a perfect solution for me.

From the Check Point Security Management solution, it's possible to get the situation of my clusters. I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents. Hence, the visibility of incidents is an area where I want the solution to improve.

I have been using Check Point Security Management since 2005, so I have used it for maybe twenty years. Also, I am using Check Point Security Management E84.20.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The solution's technical support is very good. Hence, I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

The solution's initial setup was easy.

It took a year to see a return on investment. I did experience a return on investment using the solution.

Price-wise, it is an expensive solution.

I recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I rate the overall product between nine to ten out of ten.
