For virtual appliances, you have the option to increase your disk, CPU, and memory for your needs. This will provide a very good opportunity to improve the performance of the Security Management.

Due to its complexity and the distributed nature of its solution, Check Point Security Management still faces significant challenges in terms of scalability. The networking port weakness previously mentioned also has an impact in this area. In order to address these gaps, enhancements need to be made to the product's scalability. For example, when performing software upgrades, the distributed solution can make even minor upgrades challenging due to the many components involved, such as servers, gateways, and management servers. It is crucial to make improvements in scalability to ensure that Check Point Security Management can meet the needs of customers who may require a larger or more complex solution.

They are selling multiple solutions that need to have their software maintained and their scalability at the same time with the advantage of the centralized consolidated unit, reflects poorly on the scalability. It's not only one solution. There are a lot of factors to consider in order to upgrade or add a new firewall to the lineup.

The platform has somewhat complex scalability. That said, it is still efficient - mainly when we have management or administration in what is known as HA or cluster.

Scalability is very good. Hardware appliances are available and virtual instances can be installed. It is possible to install, for huge deployments, the multi-domain Server. Multiple instances can be installed for redundancy purposes.

We have a very good impression of it so far. The possibility of adding firewalls to the fleet and keep a central management point makes it simple to grow the operation.

The solution is very scalable since you can increase the number of gateways in your infrastructure and still manage them in just one centralized SmartView Console.

The solution is very efficient. You can add more gateways in the environment and manage on the same management server as it has a centralized design.

In terms of scalability, the licensing is restrictive and are cookie-cutter solutions for a number of gateways.

One virtual machine we use for the Security Management is enough for managing 2 clusters, and there is a huge "space" if we decide to scale the DataCenter up.

Scalability depends on your design. You have to properly scope your environment to know the amount of traffic that is expected to go through, pass, or transmit through the firewall. After you have a proper scope, you won't have any problems. Otherwise, you'll definitely be experiencing issues.

JM
Network Security Engineer/Architect at Euronext Technologies SAS

It's very scalable for our use case. We have two security managers. We have one primary and one backup to manage all of our firewall infrastructure, and we have no problem with it. We always have a new firewall. 

There are around eight people who work with this solution in my company. They're network engineers. 

My colleague and I are responsible for the maintenance. 

We have a 100% adoption rate for all of the Check Point Firewalls. We all use this manager to manage the Check Point infrastructure.

TB

The scalability of the solution is good. However, we have four or five firewalls and that's more than enough, so we don't need to increase the usage. We have about 20,000 users that go through the firewall at this time.
