Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."Among its great features is the ability to detect outgoing malware or extraction of compromised data and stop it, thus safeguarding us by isolating the network, the equipment, or the identity of the affected users."
"The notifications are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"I can easily monitor all of our connected devices and I get instant notification of reconnections and new connections, which removes some of the monitoring burden."
"The Check Point IPS module allows me granularity in creating rules."
"Real-time protection has blocked most threats that could affect system operations."
"The Check Point IPS feature I find the most valuable is the firewall. It is great and easy to work with."
"The number of the IPS protections is amazing - after the latest update I see more than 11000 in the SmartConsole."
"Being able to manage blacklists and whitelists easily is very useful, especially for internal access and limiting outbound access."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's allowed us to have better visibility and protection from threats."
"Prohibited URLs can be listed by category."
"The most valuable feature is that the product can do everything in a single device, including the firewall, rules, and the PBL. It also has good routing and switching."
"The Palo Alto solution has improved our organization by providing threat protection across a variety of internet connections. Our company also gets valuable insights regarding threat analysis."
"Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB is easy to use, easy to operate, and easy to edit."
"There are a lot of false positives. I would like to see integration with some kind of network detection and response in order to make some automation on IPS configuration."
"I observed on our management that sometimes IPS does not connect to the threat cloud, we have to check and improve it. Otherwise, all of the features are good."
"The cost is high."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"In my opinion, the Check Point software engineers should works on the performance of the blade - when it is activated with the big number of the protections in place, the monitoring shows us the significant increase in the CPU utilization for the gateway appliances - up to 30 percents, even so we are cherry-picking only the profiles that we really needed."
"I would like the product to provide us with intelligence to understand what we really have in our environment."
"The hardware-based version of Check Point IPS could be more scalable. Right now, it's not scalable."
"Despite being a blade, this is expensive."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
