We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Cisco NGIPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The number of the IPS protections is amazing - after the latest update I see more than 11000 in the SmartConsole."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"The possibility of customizing the rules is great."
"Real-time protection has blocked most threats that could affect system operations."
"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."
"IPS easily allows follow-up flags on recently updated patterns. If, in rare cases, a false positive does occur, it is quickly detected and an exception can be easily created."
"It is easy to configure."
"I configured the system myself and the process was okay."
"The most valuable feature is that it is able to detect any form of infiltration."
"The solution is very powerful coupled with Firepower."
"This solution has helped improve productivity and detect attacks before they happen."
"In the virtual deployment, you have a couple of choices depending on your needs and how much bandwidth you have that needs to be inspected."
"Cisco NGIPS is a stable tool...The technical support provided by Cisco NGIPS is okay."
"This is a stable solution."
"I like how NGIPS has everything in one console."
"What I would like to improve in IPS would be the capacity of the hardware. I would also like to be able to sort signatures by severity. This would greatly impact how well I can manage my environment."
"When entering, it always takes a long time to load."
"I observed on our management that sometimes IPS does not connect to the threat cloud, we have to check and improve it. Otherwise, all of the features are good."
"The cost is a bit high but it is worth it."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"It requires a lot of people to maintain the solution."
"I would like the product to provide us with intelligence to understand what we really have in our environment."
"Overall, it lacks user-friendliness. It could be easier to manage. I can train any customer using FortiGate or Palo Alto in a few days, but with Cisco, it takes much more time because the systems aren't easy to use."
"The solution requires better management. When it comes to central management capabilities, improvements can be made."
"The file trajectory, the trace in contamination files, could be improved."
"If there was a software-based solution for scaling up then it would be much better."
"The onboarding process could be made a little bit better."
"The price is a little high. It's hard to find solutions that are easy on the budget and strike a balance between affordability and features."
"Should include additional security features."
"Some Next-Generation Firewall solutions come with Intrusion Prevention. It would be nice if Cisco NGIPS included that."
