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."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."
"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point IPS is the management of devices and policies."
"This is a very stable product."
"It is also worth noting that many IPS signature comes with detailed background about the vulnerability, and potentially how the vulnerability would affect the network security."
"Check Point offers DDoS and endpoint protection called EDR or XDR, so it provides a holistic security architecture for any organization."
"What I like best about Check Point IPS is that it can prevent attacks. I also like that it has a log feature."
"I have found the filter and the antivirus to be most valuable."
"The most valuable feature would be the IPS is very important in Cisco Firepower because I can configure deep configuration in IPS and tuning."
"It has helped to improve our cybersecurity and our network security posture."
"The most valuable feature is its IPS ability. You are able to balance security and connectivity."
"We have found the IPS detection to be a very valuable feature of this solution. It is easy to use to stop policy violations."
"The main advantages to Cisco are the scale, the integration, the training, and the possibility of finding somebody to work with."
"You can do zero-day prevention and detection. It's quite useful."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"We want the solution to continue to move towards cloud-based and portability focused for telecommuting users."
"The service that we want to see in the future is a capacity to segment the IPS services by equipment."
"There are a lot of false positives. I would like to see integration with some kind of network detection and response in order to make some automation on IPS configuration."
"Setting up Check Point IPS isn't easy, but it's not too complex, either. I rate it seven out of 10 for ease of setup. Generally, customers cannot do it themselves. They need an integrator."
"I would like the product to provide us with intelligence to understand what we really have in our environment."
"There is an issue with precision."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution, higher than other products on the market."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 onboarding process could be made a little bit better."
"The integration can be more secure."
"The feedback from some of our customers is that they weren't interested in Cisco because it was too complicated to deploy, especially in cloud-related areas."
"They could provide one solution to fit all the use cases."
"More flexibility with the dashboards is needed because some of them are not fully developed."
"The price could be improved."
