Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"Having the possibility to use Smart Event to check for threats on a broader scale helps after a security incident and also makes it easier to check - instead of looking through different logs."
"The log dashboard in the SmartConsole is very useful and convenient for monitoring and tracking."
"The compliance is great."
"Security Management gives us complete visibility into our security operations, allowing administrators to identify and address problem areas, reduce unnecessary costs, and improve efficiency. It offers detailed reports on network usage and security, which helps my company to monitor and control its security expenses."
"We love the ability to monitor performance in real-time, and gather critical information about network flows and traffic."
"Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it."
"The product has done a great job in protecting our business network and SCADA systems."
"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."
"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices."
"Its monitoring is completely automated."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is its flexibility and readiness because it's already prebuilt, and everything is click-to-go."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
"If the SmartView monitor can be integrated in the R80.40 and R81 versions, that would be ideal in understanding the trends and graphs of how traffic is observed hitting the different Check Point Firewall Gateways that the Security Management controls."
"It would be helpful if we could enable URL and application traffic control remote access."
"Policy installation time can be reduced."
"Even though the platform is simple, and creating security policies is a fairly quick task, creating a bulk of policies at once (ie. for a migration) could be a useful tool. This is probably possible through scripting, however, having an easy-to-use "import CSV" button would be beneficial."
"Check Point could improve by enhancing the networking in their solution in order to align it with the existing network architecture."
"The graphical interface is nice but it is a bit heavy."
"It also offers compatibility with third-party security solutions, however, it is not a lot. This needs to be improved."
"I would like for users to have more control over the platform in the next release. Right now, the system is very central and general requiring new rules to be created that better-suite our requirements."
"The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful."
"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."
"The training models can only be accessed for 30 days, even if it is paid training."
"Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting."
"There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"Splunk currently manages the components, which restricts our ability to access them directly."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
"Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."
