Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, ESET and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."
"The sandblast threat emulation is great."
"Powerful cyber security functionalities track workflows to block all threats that may arise and affect the workflow chain."
"The detection and reaction rates are good."
"For me, one of the best features of Check Point Infinity is to be able to have the possibility of emulating the activity of attached files with malicious content in such a short time."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"Technical support is pretty delayed."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"The cost of maintaining and purchasing the security components is high."
"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"The support could be improved."
