Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most outstanding characteristics of its centralized administration is its great computing power."
"Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"It provides for capabilities and has allowed us to be more scalable."
"The unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"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."
"The support is pretty incredible. Check Point has support rep programs that go all the way up to putting one of their own people in your business to help you. Then, they have support programs. If you're an expert, you just need to be able to download updated files and stuff. They have support programs like that, too."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable."
"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."
"he cloud performance is good."
"Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
"We only buy the services we need. We don't have to pay for other things we don't."
"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."
"It sometimes blocks safe sites when I am researching, affecting the overall output and wasting time."
"They could offer educational courses to help individuals improve their knowledge and skills."
"Check Point Security Management lacks some of the competitor features."
"We would like to improve the upgrade process in order to do mass upgrades to firewalls and to be able to upgrade target firewalls at the same time."
"The reporting should be improved in future releases. It needs to be very explicit. This is very important."
"If the SmartView monitor can be integrated in the R80.40 and R81 versions, that would be ideal in understanding the trends and graphs of how traffic is observed hitting the different Check Point Firewall Gateways that the Security Management controls."
"I would like to bind users to their network, as well as their local office machine."
"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."
"The pricing model makes the product costly."
"When one of my customers needs an app, and I am able to find that app on the Splunk base, I have to create a ticket and wait for five days for them to download the app into the cloud environment. That is probably one of the main things. It is painful because I have to wait to get that app in the cloud."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"They can streamline the process of creating custom apps."
"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."
"There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."
"The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface."
"I have not come across anything that I would consider missing as such. If anything, sometimes we have dashboards that would not go into the dark mode. It is a minor issue, but it is the only thing that I wish was there. The dark mode would definitely help."
