Both products have received mixed reviews for their customer support.
"The IPS, application and URL filtering, as well as Identity Awareness, are all very valuable features."
"I like how straightforward it is and simple it is to implement in the cloud."
"We are using gateways, and I appreciate the high-availability gateways they have. They stand out more than the competitors."
"Any kind of cloud environment anywhere can be protected through this effortlessly."
"Security effectiveness is the most valuable feature. Operational efficiency, reporting, and support are also good."
"The endpoint VPN is super stable. The routing is also very good. We tried a competing product first, but we could not make it work. We came across CloudGuard. The network routing across different virtual networks in Azure and AWS was way ahead of any of the other technologies. That helped us be able to cover the whole network using one single cluster."
"The most valuable feature I have found in CloudGuard Network Security is the flexibility to rebuild the firewall as needed."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its scalability. You will only have to pay less for scaling up. Its notable benefit is deployment complexity. Regional deployment is simpler compared to on-premise setup."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"Very user-friendly interface, easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"It can scale well."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"There is room for improvement in addressing bugs and support issues."
"There is a limitation with the version upgrade. We are using version 81.10 and from what I understand, it is problematic to upgrade this version. I do not know if that is true."
"The costs are high."
"Documentation might become too complex or too spread out, especially for newcomers."
"With the incorporation of a lot of AI and machine learning, they can build some sort of a matrix for low-level threats or low-level things that require attention. There can be automation of those tasks so that we don't have to take more time and effort. There should be machine learning to eliminate level-one types of tasks."
"From the policy optimization point of view, they can do better. This is not just for CloudGuard. CloudGuard is one little piece managed by Check Point. They can also integrate a third-party policy management solution to improve that. For example, Tufin is focused on policy optimization and management."
"In case the device is inaccessible due to some issue such as CPU or memory, there is no separate port or hardware partition provided for troubleshooting purposes."
"The solution could improve to have a DLP feature."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"In the solution, servers often go offline for various reasons, requiring us to manually check the cause or issue, such as connectivity issues, and to find out why the agent went offline."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"The price could be reduced."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
