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."Check Point offers DDoS and endpoint protection called EDR or XDR, so it provides a holistic security architecture for any organization."
"Check Point helps reduce downtime and costs associated with detected cyberattacks and can block those threats to ensure protection from any significant damage that may be caused within the organization."
"There's an automatic update after every 2 hours which makes sure that the database is up to date and providing zero-day vulnerability protection."
"Protection in real-time is very good. It helps us detect things on time and make decisions to improve perimeter security."
"Its event analysis and centralization features are very important for any organization."
"I can easily monitor all of our connected devices and I get instant notification of reconnections and new connections, which removes some of the monitoring burden."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"The reports are well written so that you can understand what type of attack has occurred, the originating IP address, and other details."
"It is a stable product."
"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features."
"The sandboxing tools offer great prevention for cloud feeds."
"With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves."
"I like the solution's interface."
"It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked."
"We are currently using the URL filtering feature, which is the most popular."
"The user interface is a bit more professional than some free products."
"Check Point IPS' main problem is it is mostly software based. The performance is dependent on the CPU power, and the limited number of patterns."
"There is an issue with precision."
"The cost is high."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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."
"Having additional reports available would be helpful."
"The tool's pricing could be better."
"After the R80 release, there are almost all feature sets available under IPS Configuration. However, further to this, adding a direct vulnerability scan based on ports and protocol for every zone (LAN, DMZ, or Outside) will make Check Point very different compared to other vendors on the market."
"In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%."
"The installation was complicated."
"The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower. In comparison with other solutions, I believe they're quite competitive."
"The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
"The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are."
"The price of licenses should be lowered to make it less costly to scale our solution."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The application’s pricing and dashboard need improvement. It could be user-friendly."
