Check Point VPN-1 [EOL] Valuable Features

Ralf Zlabinger - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Informationssicherheit at Bacher Systems EDV GmbH

Valuable features include IPS, anti-malware, VPN, and many more. All of them are state-of-the-art technologies, and with the AI features in Check Point's latest versions, you can get out more of the product. 

VPN clients are easy to use and deploy. The catch rate for anti-malware or anti-phishing is exceptional. 

There were independent tests where Check Point had a huge advantage over other vendors. Also, the proxy functions to secure surf traffic are working properly. 

For enterprise environments you have high availability functions for clustering.

Check Point VPN-1 [EOL] has several valuable features for a company's security environment. It offers VPN functionalities, allowing secure remote access to the company network and thus gain access to secure each of the resources. 

It also has an IPS that prevents and detects all malicious activities in the network. The firewall makes a filter in the network for incoming and outgoing information.


The product offers fairly good centralized administration and monitoring with decent capabilities that allow the administrator to have relevant control over devices.

Its most outstanding feature is content filtering. The ability to connect or interconnect different branches thanks to its innovative side-to-side configuration management, or what we know as site-to-site VPN. This allowed us to be innovative and always stay connected at all times. We must consider that many of these teams were based on Gaia Embedded, an arm-based distribution for SMB devices; however, they were among the best we could have in the early 2000s, when we started using this technology.
