"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."
"The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive."
"The firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance."
"It has a central management log server that helps us to easily identify faults and issues in the environment, especially during outages and incidents during the implementation of policy rules."
"The solution is easy to use and comes with few vulnerabilities. You don't have to worry about release upgrades. Life cycle management is very easy."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"The upgrade procedure already made huge improvements, yet it remains more challenging compared to other products."
"For those not familiar with the Command Line interface, there should be an option in the GUI for operating backups."
"They could offer educational courses to help individuals improve their knowledge and skills."
"I would like the ability to have an overview, cross-site: One portal that does all firewalls. Also, the user interface is overly complicated."
"The tool is expensive."
"We'd like to see more and more integration possibilities between Checkpoint and other vendor security solutions such as Malwarebytes, SIEM solution providers, and standalone vulnerability scanners."
"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."
"In future releases I'd like to see better integration with other applications and solutions. Also, the cost of the license is too high, it's too expensive."
