"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."
"It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"Check Point Security Management has improved our organization because all corporate firewalls can be managed with a single interface."
"The log dashboard in the SmartConsole is very useful and convenient for monitoring and tracking."
"Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it."
"The features we like and find the most valuable are the ways we can manage the policy, create objects, and drag and drop objects in our daily operation. It makes our daily operation on the firewall management much easier than going, for example, to one firewall, then going to the other."
"Check Point Security Management Server offers a wide range of security features, including firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, and threat prevention capabilities."
"It is good when it comes to access control, which is the basic feature that we use in a firewall appliance or solution. Check Point is effective when it comes to security control and threat prevention."
"Check Point management is one of the most complete solutions for managing Check Point Firewall appliances."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"In the next release, I want to see more intelligence."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"Sometimes the security system slows down when it is overloaded."
"While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory."
"SD-WAN functionality could be added."
"We sometimes have trouble with the performance of the solution. Maybe some performance tuning options could be added in a future release. There should be more visibility about which blade in your firewall is causing the latency."
"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"Check Point's hybrid cloud integration needs significant improvements. These resources need to evolve as data transfers to the cloud increase, so hybrid cloud models are easier to implement. Better hybrid cloud integration would improve how we manage our security logs and provide our administrators with a low-cost solution that enables them to meet all our essential requirements."
"For those not familiar with the Command Line interface, there should be an option in the GUI for operating backups."
"We would like to improve the upgrade process in order to do mass upgrades to firewalls and to be able to upgrade target firewalls at the same time."
