"Its blades and VSLS (Virtual System Load Sharing) work fine."
"I like how straightforward it is and simple it is to implement in the cloud."
"Customers appreciate the CME plugin for automatically understanding assets within the cloud. This information appears in the manager, allowing users to tag the assets and adjust policies and rules accordingly."
"The easy management of the policies is great for us because we are a small team and having easy management is great and useful for us."
"The tool's deployment is rapid. Its dashboard is also useful. It's easy to deploy both on-premises and in Azure. In an office with VMware running, deployment is a simple process. Similarly, in Azure, deployment is easy and scalable. Adding more CPUs is a straightforward task – just shut it down, modify the security, and restart. This ease of use translates into cost and resource savings, and faster deployment times."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized dashboard, which is used for managing all of the Check Point Security Gateways."
"The capability to auto-scale in or out, depending on the resource demand is great."
"The most valuable feature is threat prevention."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"It can scale well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"There is room for improvement in addressing bugs and support issues."
"Documentation might become too complex or too spread out, especially for newcomers."
"New features have been introduced recently, but they have not yet been integrated into CloudGuard Vsec."
"We have the product deployed on Azure China. One crucial concern is the version limitation; unfortunately, in Azure China, we are restricted to running version R80. Our architecture has a Load Balancer, VMSS CloudGuard, etc. The duplication in this setup prevents the application from seeing the original client IP. This poses a problem for certain applications that require the original IP for login purposes. Although we managed a workaround with a different architecture involving a WAF, it is not as straightforward as the standard Azure setup."
"They can improve their security features to the next advanced level so that their efficiency in catching the malware can become 100%, and there is no scope for any data loss or leakage from the system due to any issue."
"Its architecture and user interface need improvement. The user experience for this solution also needs to be improved, particularly in implementation, management, and operations."
"What I would like for future updates would be faster updates to apply, and perhaps a greater presence in the local language for the regions of Latin America."
"In the past year, I noticed that the challenging part, especially in the cloud, is upgrading to the next release of the firewall. Unlike on-premise upgrades, it's not as simple in the cloud. You need to recreate the machine, which makes the process more complex."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user."
"The price could be reduced."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
