Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."The most valuable feature for me is Identity Awareness."
"We love the ability to monitor performance in real-time, and gather critical information about network flows and traffic."
"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 has been very effective in terms of threat management and comprehensive protection against vulnerabilities, and it has given us confidence that our data is not going anywhere."
"The rulebase management and the shared layers concept is implemented well."
"I love the URL filtering as well as the identification capabilities which link with the Active Directory and work for me even with bandwidth regulation. These allow me to select to whom to do what, and when."
"The support is pretty incredible. Check Point has support rep programs that go all the way up to putting one of their own people in your business to help you. Then, they have support programs. If you're an expert, you just need to be able to download updated files and stuff. They have support programs like that, too."
"The compliance is great."
"There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."
"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use."
"For those not familiar with the Command Line interface, there should be an option in the GUI for operating backups."
"While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory."
"It could improve by showing DNS-specific information for connections to unknown public IPs."
"It would be helpful if we could enable URL and application traffic control remote access."
"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 my experience, the place they can improve the most is in the technical support where I have had some serious problems that could not be solved in time due to a lack of knowledge of the assigned engineer."
"The tracking of new threats could be improved."
"Support is the main area that they need to improve. Our support experience is not very smooth. We are based in Africa, and we don't know whether it is because of our region. I would like a feature where there is a workflow to provide authorization to some users before they're able to create and apply rules. Such a feature should be integrated with the management. It should not be in the box that comes with it."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."
"At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects."
