What do you like best about the product?
Check Point CloudGuard WAF is great because it uses smart AI to stop new and advanced threats automatically. It’s fully managed, so you don’t have to worry about updates or tuning—Check Point handles everything. It works perfectly with cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, scaling up as your traffic grows.

What do you dislike about the product?
Check Point CloudGuard WAF can be pricey, especially for smaller teams. Setting it up isn't always quick—it might take some time to get everything working smoothly. While it's good at blocking threats, tweaking advanced rules isn't as flexible as some other tools. Since Check Point manages updates, you can't always make changes on your own schedule. Occasionally, it might slow down your apps a tiny bit when inspecting traffic deeply. Still powerful, but worth considering these trade-offs

First, it acts like a smart shield that automatically blocks hackers trying to break into my websites or APIs - stopping stuff like SQL injections, credential stuffing, and sneaky bot attacks. Second, it saves me tons of time because Check Point handles all the security updates and rule changes behind the scenes. Third, it keeps my cloud apps safe without slowing them down, growing automatically as my traffic increases. The best part? I get strong protection without needing to be a security expert, and I can see everything that's happening through one simple dashboard. It's like having a 24/7 security guard that never sleeps and learns new tricks to catch threats.
