Adrian Cambronero - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at ITQS

Its stability is excellent. However, you have to see its initial configuration, this is where all its functionality depends.

Upgrades are quite troublesome, even more so when you have bigger appliances, with special modules like SAM. Not everything goes according to the procedure suggested by Check Point, causing clusters to fail. There are too many unexpected problems.

It's a stable and good community. You can use it, plus you have all the information that you need from the vendors. You need updates sometimes, but not frequently. It's good to use.

The solution is very robust. That is one thing I really like about it. And the durability is also a great thing. With a Check Point solution, we can connect to other solutions and I really like that capability. Right now I have two hundred users.

I have two clusters, so even in the rare situation that I have a problem with the stability, it will switch to the cluster. The end users would not notice a switch.

We do have stability. I have only had issues a couple of times. Regarding the synchronization of events between the management platform and the firewall itself, because it was on the huge port and sometimes the management didn't report the loss in time, because it was overwhelmed with the event. In one period, it happened twice.

Yes, about once a year we have a catastrophic failure. It's pretty random.

Some versions, like the R76, create some issues, but Checkpoint provide hotfixes as soon as possible.
