Check Point CloudGuard Network Security provides valuable features like VPN, IPS, URL filtering, and centralized management. Price-wise, Trend Micro Deep Security is considered costly, as is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, although it is seen as competitive. Both products have received mixed reviews for their customer support.
"One of the main characteristics that Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has given us is granularity and visibility."
"We primarily secure our network using CloudGuard Network Security's next-generation firewall features, including anti-spam, IPS, and URL filtering. Our chosen package for the go-to-market strategy is NGTP. For customers seeking more features, we provide options to upgrade to the tool's advanced packages."
"It's possible to sync the Check Point Management with the cloud portal, therefore allowing automated rules to be set in place whenever creating a new VM."
"When browsing, it scans sites to ensure that they are safe and that no harm can be caused."
"The scalability is very good; again, very user-friendly. I wouldn't even say "user-friendly" because, as long as you deploy it properly, you can kill an EC2 and it will spin up another one right away, within about a minute and a half. And it will be ready for production right away."
"Check Point has pretty simple solutions, like the virtual appliance which you just download and it is imported into VMware and you just start using it."
"The tool's most valuable features are firewalls and IPS."
"It is a good-to-use tool that is also flexible."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"Very straightforward and very easy to implement."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"It can be difficult to install properly without prior training"
"The documentation has been rough. Being able to do it yourself can be hit or miss given the constraints of the documentation."
"We are at the place where we are looking at better integration with the management system. We use an MDS today, and it is self-deployed. We want to get to the Smart-1 Cloud, but we do not know what that looks like today because it does not support a multi-domain setup. Smart-1 should either be able to do multi-domain or there should be some form of taking a multi-domain environment and putting it in Smart-1."
"The product needs to improve support. They don't consider my case the number one priority even though I want a quick resolution."
"Our biggest complaint concerns the high resource usage for IDP/IPS, as we cannot turn on all of the features even with new hardware."
"The user interface can be improved."
"This application can be more integrated with web application firewalls. Better integrations would provide more granularity, which would be helpful for focusing on the application itself and preventing attacks. It would be good to include the cross-domain search. If you have multiple firewalls that are managed on the same platform and you want to check who is using some particular objects or where a specific ID is being used, it should provide an option for this kind of search instead of having to check one by one on each firewall."
"Check Point could show us use cases that would help us in Czech and could help us with security threats in our specific country."
"We'd like to have more application control."
"The workloads must be better."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
