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 most valuable feature of Check Point Security Management is the high level of visibility"
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"Check Point has been very effective in terms of threat management and comprehensive protection against vulnerabilities, and it has given us confidence that our data is not going anywhere."
"The rulebase management and the shared layers concept is implemented well."
"We can track logs of each firewall which is very helpful."
"The additional features offered by the solution are excellent. We didn't have a lot fo these on a previous solution, and they've proven to be an advantage for us."
"The layered architecture is really understandable and easy to use."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"I like the interface."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"You need some technical expertise to use the solution. I don't think it's accessible to the typical end-user. You need to access the box and use some command lines or the web interface. It would be nice to have a user-friendly dashboard and comprehensive reporting."
"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."
"Some of the configuration elements could be improved."
"Check Point's hybrid cloud integration needs significant improvements. These resources need to evolve as data transfers to the cloud increase, so hybrid cloud models are easier to implement. Better hybrid cloud integration would improve how we manage our security logs and provide our administrators with a low-cost solution that enables them to meet all our essential requirements."
"It sometimes blocks safe sites when I am researching, affecting the overall output and wasting time."
"The upgrade procedure already made huge improvements, yet it remains more challenging compared to other products."
"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."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"Technical support should be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
