We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and ManageEngine Log360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Check Point Management server is isolated from security gateways, which means that in case there is an issue, we have our configuration ready and we can directly replace the device and push the configuration."
"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."
"Mobile access has helped us cater to more than 4000 users so that they can work from home."
"Check Point Security Management Server offers a wide range of security features, including firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, and threat prevention capabilities."
"One of the most outstanding characteristics of its centralized administration is its great computing power."
"The rulebase management and the shared layers concept is implemented well."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"It could improve by showing DNS-specific information for connections to unknown public IPs."
"We'd like to see more and more integration possibilities between Checkpoint and other vendor security solutions such as Malwarebytes, SIEM solution providers, and standalone vulnerability scanners."
"SD-WAN functionality could be added."
"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"I would like for users to have more control over the platform in the next release. Right now, the system is very central and general requiring new rules to be created that better-suite our requirements."
"It sometimes blocks safe sites when I am researching, affecting the overall output and wasting time."
"Some costs are ridiculously high."
"I like that the Compliance software blade is available for free with the Security Management server purchase, but it is free for only one year - after that you have to buy an additional license to continue using it. I think such an important feature is vital for the management server, and should not be licensed separately."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"The support needs improvement."
