In the beginning, it can be complex for someone who is new or not quite knowledgeable about the tool. However, once someone is comfortable, it becomes easy to implement and administer.

The initial setup was easy. Because it was a new deployment, it took four hours. The good thing about it was is that it was a retrofit. It wasn't something they had to move out and bring in. 

It's straightforward, as I did a course for a year with Check Point.

The setup was not so complex, but of course, you need to have some skill to implement it. I would say, from one to five, the complexity is three or four. It's not complex. 

For deployment, we had two phases. One was to implement the equipment to respond to our needs. And the second was to implement the VPN in our branch offices. The first phase took only one month. The second phase we're doing slowly because when we have a new branch we add it. We're doing this continuously.

The acquiring must be done through a reseller/supplier based in our country, by the law. The reseller worked with us in the first implementation phase.

The administration is normal and I am doing with a team composed by four people, which two are dedicated day by day work watching into this equipment alerts, logs, etc, and two others as a backup which I believe is enough for deployment and maintenance.

The initial setup wasn't complex. I would say it isn't complex for a person who knows a bit about Check Point. If I have to compare Check Point with FortiGate, I would say FortiGate would be easier to configure. It's more user-friendly than Check Point. Check Point is okay. I cannot say it's easy, or difficult, but somewhere in the middle.

The length of deployment depends. For example, I deployed for one of my customers at the last minute over here, and it took me two days. To do the visuals and everything to make the inspection, it took me two days to do the deployment.

For deployment and maintenance, I think one or two people is okay. For the maintenance, about the same number.

It was complex. I initially received two different firewalls from CheckPoint due to my web infrastructure. Every firewall got configured with different rules, and at the point when we wanted to merge them, problems occurred.

The initial setup is straightforward. In the past, we have had to deploy the console and then the firewall then to stop and configure to the main console. Now, with the UTMs and the single appliances, they're straightforward. 

The initial setup was relatively straightforward. Deployment probably took about two weeks. At the time we deployed the platform, we were only two people maintaining, and we both monitored the platform. Deployment was fine, for me, even though we had some problems with a performance issue due to the antivirus.

The initial setup was straightforward. We did not find it complex, as we narrowed it down in advance and chose to reformulate rules that we did not identify as pertinent.

The initial setup is not complicated. It required some implementation initially, but after that, it is easy.

The deployment required one or two days.

The setup was done by their support reps here in Nigeria. It was straightforward, you just have to Install it and then configure your rules.

The setup was straightforward.

We have upgraded from a UTM-1 appliance to a Next Generation one. This process has taken some time.

It's a straightforward setup.

The initial setup was straightforward with an easy to use GUI.
