Our primary use case of this solution is for security.
Network Consultant Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Excellent technical support but the zero-day threat detection needs improvement
Pros and Cons
- "The program is very stable."
- "It is a very expensive program and there are additional costs despite the standard licensing fees."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The IPs and the VPN are the most valuable features of this solution.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see an improvement on the zero-day threat detection. It is also not very user-friendly, so it would be great if it could be less complicated and easier to operate. The dashboard needs to be easier to use.
Also, if the solution could be cheaper, it would really help, because it is very expensive.
I would like to see sand boxing added to the new version.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Virtual Systems for ten years now.
