Good centralization, rules management, and automation
What is our primary use case?
One of our company's priorities was to have centralization of all the equipment in a single firewall. With the tools provided by Check Point, we were able to achieve it, and in this way we were able to centralize all the records.
With this implementation, we were able to make more centralized management and of all the rules. It was very comfortable to be able to configure them and manage them and thus be able to make the whole implementation more orderly and be able to carry out our organization along a good path of security administration
How has it helped my organization?
Check Point Security Management came to help us a lot. With this implementation, we were able to generate a firewall rule centralization and management. This helped our IT department to have an order in security and thus be able to centralize it.
By having this implemented, our facilities' security has improved a lot since both employees and external users are audited before entering the network through Check Point Security Management and the rules that make these security filters possible.
What is most valuable?
Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server. This helps us reduce the administrative effort of the IT department and thus give priority to other things like the security of the company or with the characteristic It provides us with centralization, which helps us with management.
The SmartConsole has provided us with excellent help with the application. It communicates with the administrator and allows us to create policies and also look at the traffic log.
What needs improvement?
The web administration tool that allows administration in the browser must be developed even more. When one tries to enter the panel, the loading delays us.
They can also implement version updating.
Another feature that could be improved is the export of configurations to .CSV. This would further simplify the management and compliance with rules.
For how long have I used the solution?
This solution has been used for approximately two year in the company.

The solution has excellent stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
For PCI compliance, Check point is Excelent!!
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best thing is that we can get more details of each firewall by getting important data such as security overview, security modules, violations, etc., and the coolest thing is that you can print a report in case that is needed
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little complecated if you want to create your charts or customize your outputs because if you don't have a good idea of what are you doing, you can get lost during the chart creation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a PCI compliance corporation, it has been beneficial to share any report needed
complete compliance and security suite for check point environment
What do you like best about the product?
It's straightforward to use. Price is low compared to other solutions. Many times it is bundled with the initial purchase. There's no need for additional Hardware and Solution required to configure the compliance. You can get the output of the compliance results very quickly. Similar vendors do not have this solution. They are trying the cover the gap throughout the reporting modules or dashboards. Solutions is interactive. This interaction and real time features help the firewall admins to quickly see the operational and logical mistakes while maintaning the daily security activities. Findings screen is interactive where you can jump on the item and solve the issue within a click.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's unique to Checkpoint. Well, Checkpoint had acquired the easy2comply solution in 2011. Then it' had customized this solution for Checkpoint firewalls. However, while it's made the acquisition, some of easy2comply features have been dropped. Why I'm mentioning this because we had an old Dynasec customer. Therefore we had used the solution for overall compliance. Current Checkpoint compliance is just for the Checkpoint firewalls. You can't use the solution for other security components. Some of the problems related to the compliance solutions is the roadmap and workflow entegrations. Product does not have the user defined networking security where you define the critical zones and traffic flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As for the financial companies, you should be align with the regulations. Checkpoint compliance is ensuring us to be compliant with these regulations. Throughout the audit, auditors analyze the compliance module outputs. Therefore this product is assisting the auditors as well as firewall administrators. As there are already defined regulations checks on the solutions, I do not need to know or define every mapped item.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not well suited for a hybrid environment where you have several different vendors. You need to enable the solution to start monitoring. Default installations do not have the solution to be enabled and started. Enable the reporting to get the results. Otherwise, you need to log in open the compliance view, and see the results. It's not a product like let it run and see the results. It's a dynamic solution and needs constant attention to achieve the best results.
Great Platform To Fulfill Up To Date Security Requirements !!!!
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like the most about Cloudguard IaaS is the new feature, such as Updateable Object, Datacenter Object. We use the Updateable Object for the Cloud service, and we don't need to add many IP addresses that need to be. It saves the time to edit the firewall policy and can update the IP address automatically from the freed. Datacenter Object is another feather used in our cloud environment
What do you dislike about the product?
The most dislinking part is the license. We need to use the command to apply the license to the gateway but not the Smart Update, and it is not friendly to our environment cause execute the controls at the management server need to raise change request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datacenter Object is another feather used in our cloud environment. Before we use this, we need to add a lot of firewall policies to allow the connection. After implementing the Datacenter Object, we just need to edit the cloud tag to add or remove the IP/subnet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend everyone to try this platform once, and you will get to know the features involved.

What do you like best about the product?
It has a centralized dashboard to manage all checkpoint security gateway.

It checks windows update are done on machine , check Anti-virus and anti-malware signatures up to date.it also check which application we can use which makes the system compliant.

Policy creation is little tough , need some experience to define policies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
