We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and Splunk Cloud Platform 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."Check Point Security Management has improved our organization because all corporate firewalls can be managed with a single interface."
"The layered architecture is really understandable and easy to use."
"The product has done a great job in protecting our business network and SCADA systems."
"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"The most beneficial features for us are the alert classifications, which help us prioritize critical issues, and the detailed reports that provide insights into attack origins and purposes, such as TLS violations or content violations."
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"With the generation and review of logs, we have verified some vulnerabilities and attempted attacks to generate improvements in our infrastructure and policies to help avoid issues in the future."
"Dashboards and alerting are the most valuable features. The dashboards let us see how the system looks in terms of anomalies, and the alerts trigger us to go and look at what possible problems are happening."
"I like the Cloud monitoring console feature."
"The data management and instant search features are the most valuable ones for us, as they allow us to instantly retrieve information needed for reports and security compliance."
"I like the fact that we do not have to maintain all the cloud infrastructure. That is probably the main thing about the Splunk Cloud Platform."
"The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds."
"For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective."
"The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility of being able to send the log to the https endpoint."
"In the future, I would like the platform to be able to integrate or manage appliances or third-party equipment."
"I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents."
"There is room for improvement in reliability."
"Even though the platform is simple, and creating security policies is a fairly quick task, creating a bulk of policies at once (ie. for a migration) could be a useful tool. This is probably possible through scripting, however, having an easy-to-use "import CSV" button would be beneficial."
"The reporting should be improved in future releases. It needs to be very explicit. This is very important."
"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 would be great if the SmartView Monitor could become integrated into the SmartView Console Platform."
"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."
"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."
"They need to provide more training options."
"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard."
"There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use."
"Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring."
"Splunk should increase the frequency of new feature releases, particularly those related to real-time operational flow monitoring and analytics reporting."
"It needs to mature; it's just getting established in the industry on a wider scale."
