We performed a comparison between Check Point NGFW and Huawei NGFW based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The interface is very user-friendly and I like it very much."
"The threat prevention is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The technical support in our region is excellent."
"Reliability is the best feature. We faced some issues when we were setting it up, but the service, portal, and administration are good."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate are the rules and quality of service."
"Fortinet FortiGate is easy to use."
"The security features that they have are quite good. On top of that, their licensing model is quite nice where they don't charge you anything for the SD-WAN functionality for the firewall."
"It provides end-to-end resolution."
"The application authentication feature of Check Point is the most valuable as it helps us keep users secure."
"Check Point provides dedicated blades to monitor network traffic, which helps while troubleshooting network and packet-related issues."
"Its management web interface is very easy and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the firewall is the packet inspection. That is an amazing feature from Check Point."
"It gives us centralized management for multiple firewalls. For example, if I want to push the same configuration in 10 firewalls, I can push it all at once with the help of the centralized management system."
"The tool has solid firmware with very few vulnerabilities."
"I haven't had any data leaks or vulnerability situations."
"The security is good. It's as effective as anything else on the market."
"It enables us to configure different policies and restrictions for specific users within the same subnet."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation."
"The solution's performance is good with IPSec."
"Huawei was able to assist us in the installation of their product. The installation was very fast."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The support for the solution has been excellent. If we ever had an issue they would send an engineer to help us with our problem."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"There are some cloud-based features that could be much more flexible than they currently are."
"Performance and technical support are the main issues with this solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"Cisco Meraki products are rising very quickly in the cloud and the connected era. Meraki products offer much better ROI, upgradability, and manageability."
"The initial setup and configuration are not intuitive and require training."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"I would like to see a more intuitive dashboard."
"The price of this product could be improved."
"Although they have it now, we don't have a license for it, and I think mobile device security should be a standard feature. I cannot control someone bringing their device to my network and what they do."
"There is no email security."
"They have few predefined reports and it would be nice to increase them since the logs are excellent."
"Check Point should quickly update and expand its application database to have what Palo Alto has."
"The predefined reports are limited and should provide more information. Check Point should provide a greater number of defined reports and produce reports for each division of the organization."
"We looked very closely at ArcSight's solution because it's a multi-vendor solution. With ArcSight we could have Check Point, we could have RSA, we could have any brand and integrate several brands, from a security point of view. With Check Point, you cannot do so, you can integrate with Check Point products."
"The product or services can be improved from the cost and the pricing perspective."
"The IPS feature must be improved."
"With the Huawei firewall, none of the features comes at the top. We found out later that customer support is really not good. For this firewall, because of our customers' routine, for example, every six months they'll do a penetration test to find weaknesses. So whenever they came up with VAPT reports, they are looking to Huawei for help. I think that's basically because it's a different culture. Chinese culture and our culture is different. They have always tried to help find some excuses or say some other things that cannot help you solve the problem immediately."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"The solution requires a more interactive dashboard. That would make it easier than playing with configurations the way we have to now."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
