We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Cisco NGIPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool's most valuable feature is its detection panel. Managing and updating policies within Check Point IPS is easy and without issues. It provides a secure network."
"Its event analysis and centralization features are very important for any organization."
"Among its great features is the ability to detect outgoing malware or extraction of compromised data and stop it, thus safeguarding us by isolating the network, the equipment, or the identity of the affected users."
"It protects against specific known exploits but also, with SandBlast integration, it is able to protect against unknown or zero-day attacks at the perimeter level."
"The solution is user-friendly and the interface is easy to configure."
"Check Point is one of the best security brands worldwide."
"IPS signatures can be set quite granularly depending on your environment. You can filter on performance impact, severity, and confidence which makes sizing and adapting easier."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is called tunneling. Tunneling is one of the major security features that hackers cannot penetrate through."
"It is salable and technically sound."
"The features that I find most valuable are the DDoS protection, IPS/IDS, and Firepower for web application filtering."
"The URL filtering feature and the new locations feature are both valuable additions to the solution."
"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features."
"I like the way the tool pushes the packets from the node level."
"I've found the performance and stability to be the most valuable features of Cisco NGIPS. It is scalable as well."
"The tracking intelligence feature is very good. This solution provides us with the opportunity to detect threats in real-time."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"It is generally good, but improving the performance would be the one thing I'd take a look at right now."
"It requires a lot of people to maintain the solution."
"There is an issue with precision."
"I would like to have the possibility of adding features to this IPS solution in the future."
"Despite being a blade, this is expensive."
"The tool's pricing could be better."
"I observed on our management that sometimes IPS does not connect to the threat cloud, we have to check and improve it. Otherwise, all of the features are good."
"Threat Prevention policies are not very easily manageable as there are several profiles/policies/etc. Therefore, there are several ways to add exceptions and check the configuration."
"While the Management GUI and FMC could be improved, the devices themselves function well."
"Cisco can do better on their documentation because the product is really hard to understand."
"The look and feel of the console could be updated."
"The user interface needs some improvement, it is a little rudimentary and not very intuitive."
"We would like to see some improvement in the configuration process for this solution, as it is currently quite complex."
"They could provide one solution to fit all the use cases."
"The price could be improved."
"If there was a software-based solution for scaling up then it would be much better."
