We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard Network Security and McAfee MOVE AntiVirus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"The user interface is relatively easy. The devices are easy to deploy and figure out when you have experience with other security appliances."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is security. They are known for efficiency and are on the top of Gartner Quadrant reviews. Fortinet FortiGate has an easy-to-use platform with a good graphical interface. The configuration is simple and the solution provides an overall good layer of security."
"The solution is stable."
"We are using the FortiGate 100D series. VPN, firewall, anti-malware, OTM, and intrusion prevention are useful features."
"One of the valuable features is a standardized OS."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"The Capsule solution and application filters are the most valuable. It is pretty straightforward to implement, and it also has good stability and scalability. Their technical support is also really good."
"It improves the availability of engineers to carry out projects."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring. We can easily monitor what kind of stuff comes over to our network and we can then check the dashboard and work accordingly."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can start off with a simple firewall and expand it to UTM."
"SSL/TLS traffic inspection features are used for advanced threat prevention against secure SSL traffic."
"We have complete visibility of attacks originating from email including spear-phishing, spoofing, etc."
"The most valuable feature is threat prevention."
"The capability to auto-scale in or out, depending on the resource demand is great."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup isn't too difficult."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the protection it provides. It stops you from exploring certain sites. If you somehow try to mistakenly access a website that contains malware, it will stop you. This is a good feature because it prevents viruses."
"The stability is very good."
"It provides helpful popups."
"The most valuable feature is the security, which is very effective compared to other products."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like real-time mobile protection. It's quite easy to use and efficient."
"There are some complex administration tasks in their administration portal. That needs to be improved."
"There can be more security in hybrid implementations. When a customer has a hybrid environment where some parts are in the cloud, we need a consistent security solution for such scenarios."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"Bandwidth usage in reporting could be improved for Fortinet FortiGate."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"We'd like more management across other integrations."
"WAN load-balancing could be a lot better at detecting when a link is poor or inconsistent, and not just flat out dead."
"It is quite new for us, and we need to go more in-depth into the monitoring tools. It provides different features that we need to do what we want. So far, it is okay for us. In terms of improvement, in the future, they can provide a faster implementation of features. Some of the features are first available in other solutions. Fortinet sometimes takes a little bit longer than other solutions, such as Check Point, to implement new features."
"The API integration is complex, which is an area that should be improved."
"The connection to the on-premises management requires using the CLI. It's not just a click, and you cannot edit in the management to prepare everything. You need to do it online and in real time. After that, you must execute a script, and then you should be happy that it appears in the management."
"Easier optimization techniques can definitely help with better performance of the OS, as using the vanilla software doesn't actually showcase the real capability of the software."
"Regarding CloudGuard Network Security's integration with various resources like application gateways and application-based security groups, there's room for exploring dynamic access in those areas. A significant concern is the upgrade process. Unlike an in-place upgrade, upgrading the tool in Azure requires deploying a new resource, which can be hectic and less reliable. We have to spend something new to have the tool's latest version."
"The costs are high."
"A threat categorization system can be added to give users the authority to define vulnerable attacks and classify areas that can threaten the workflow system."
"Zero touch removes any independence for configuring."
"The cost needs improvement as it is currently quite expensive."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It would be ideal if the initial setup was a bit easier."
"They should work to make the renewal process better. I'd like to see is a few weeks of notification up front that the renewal is about to expire."
"The solution could be a bit less expensive."
"The tool slows down the computer a little bit sometimes."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"I pay for the licensing on an annual basis."
"Lacks cloud security integrated with the antivirus."
