We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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 rulebase management and the shared layers concept is implemented well."
"Security Management gives us complete visibility into our security operations, allowing administrators to identify and address problem areas, reduce unnecessary costs, and improve efficiency. It offers detailed reports on network usage and security, which helps my company to monitor and control its security expenses."
"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 cluster solution made our job easier any fault to the device will not halt entire internet connectivity."
"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 firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance."
"The intuitive interface also allows new team members to adapt to the technology if they are not familiar with it initially. It doesn't take much for one to familiarize themselves with the product."
"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."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"In 90% of the cases, new devices are plug-and-play, so when a new version comes out then SevOne has support for it out of the box."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"The tool is expensive."
"If the SmartView monitor can be integrated in the R80.40 and R81 versions, that would be ideal in understanding the trends and graphs of how traffic is observed hitting the different Check Point Firewall Gateways that the Security Management controls."
"Installing a policy takes a very long time to complete."
"I would like to bind users to their network, as well as their local office machine."
"In future releases I'd like to see better integration with other applications and solutions. Also, the cost of the license is too high, it's too expensive."
"It also offers compatibility with third-party security solutions, however, it is not a lot. This needs to be improved."
"It would be helpful if the documentation and good practice guides are updated. Many are still from R77."
"I would like this solution to be integrated directly into the Cluster XL equipment."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development."
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
"We previously have had discussions on some reporting enhancements. So, we raised a feature request, which was delivered from SevOne."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"There are some tweaks and enhancements that I've already requested. One is to be able to make changes per device rather than as a global setting. That has to do with naming. It's minor."
"When I started using it, I tried adding one of the BroadWorks application servers into SevOne... it created thousands and thousands of objects from that one application server and we immediately ran out of license... It would help, when new objects are discovered, if there were a way to categorize those objects and to pick the part of the object you need..."
