It Security Engineer at TSYS
The initial setup was complex. But that was really the fault of Check Point just because we deployed it into the Google Cloud environment, and their environment is a little different.
We have security management deployed on-premises and on the cloud.

It was a straightforward implementation. We did have a consultant help us in the initial setup of the systems.

We faced issues, but with the help of tech support, it was solved. It took almost one week approximately to set the solution through firewall.

We have most of the products on-premise. We have only one client on a VM. Check Point offers training for their products. They usually send us a link every time they launch a new feature. Unless we go through the tutorials, it will be difficult for us to deploy the solution. However, it is easy to deploy when you know how to do it. It is easy to navigate if we have read about the gadget.
View full review »The solution can be somewhat complex. It can be challenging to use, particularly during deployment. This is due to its use of distributed deployment, which requires the purchase of several components including security gateways, SMS servers, and a management server. While this may seem complex, the benefit is greater visibility.

Perhaps because I lack experience setting it up from scratch, the initial setup seemed quite complex.

View full review »It took me about two hours to do the initial installation, but the total deployment took a day. I did it myself and found it somewhat complicated. You need to know what you're doing. Check Point doesn't provide enough guidance and assumes you know everything.

As compared to other security and firewall solutions, its deployment is not that easy. The deployment duration depends on your project plan. It also depends on whether you are working just on the deployment, and there are no distractions.

In terms of initial setup, at the beginning when I was not an expert, it was difficult but now that I'm an expert it is no longer difficult at all.
I don't know how long the setup was the first time since it was done by a client. But nowadays, because I'm an expert, it doesn't take long. It takes about an hour or two and I've done everything.

The initial setup was not complex. There was still a bit to learn with the program, but it was not complex. Initial installation took about a day and a half and it took one week for deployment in total after running some tasks.

The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment takes about three working days. In our case, we had to import policies from SonicWall but not on the same platform, so we had some little challenges like that, however, overall it was quite straightforward.
We have an in-house team that handles maintenance.

Jose Mendes
Network Security Engineer/Architect at Euronext Technologies SAS
The initial migration from R77 to the R80 was a bit complex. We had the help of a third-party company for the migration phase. We needed to export from the old manager and import it to the new one. There were some modifications we needed to do. It's not very straightforward. They had more experience in those kinds of migrations.
We have already done some upgrades and they are very easy and straightforward. For this migration, we needed to prepare the servers side by side to the old one, and we needed to do the initial configuration. It took like at least one week to prepare and to migrate it that way.

System and Network Engineer at a non-tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees
In general, the initial setup was straightforward. Deployment for us took quite long because we migrated in small steps. That was our choice and had nothing to do with Check Point. We have five people managing the solution, and we have two consultants that sometimes help us with some troubleshooting and features.
View full review »The initial setup is not too complex, but those setting it up should have knowledge of Unix as well as some knowledge in Linux command lines.
