Has improved visibility and deployment while pricing still needs adjustment
Pros and Cons
  • "The best features Check Point Application Control offers include granular access level and good visibility, and it is also easy for deployment."
  • "My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was that the cost was high, and I think the cost should be improved for competitor pricing."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Check Point Application Control is visibility.

I use Check Point Application Control to monitor what users in my company are using and to control the specific use case.

I don't have anything else to add about how I use Check Point Application Control for visibility or control at this moment.

What is most valuable?

The best features Check Point Application Control offers include granular access level and good visibility, and it is also easy for deployment.

Check Point Application Control has positively impacted my organization by being easy to deploy and manage.

The ease of deployment and management has benefited my organization because we already have a Check Point firewall, and we have a team to manage Check Point, so we decided to integrate more of the features for Check Point as well, recently adding a Check Point application.

What needs improvement?

I think Check Point Application Control is good and doesn't require any improvements at this time.

I don't have more to add about any needed improvements, even minor ones, right now.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I didn't previously use a different solution for application control.

Check Point Application Control is deployed on-premises in my organization.

We are a reseller in addition to being a customer of this vendor.

I have seen a return on investment because it was time saved, as we already have expertise, making it a time-saving solution for me.

What other advice do I have?

That's it for now regarding additional features.

I advise others looking into using Check Point Application Control that it is good to try, easy to manage, but the pricing part is on the higher scale; nothing else, overall, it's a good product.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Check Point Application Control a seven.

Has improved user-specific web access and reduced exposure to malicious websites
Pros and Cons
  • "After deploying Check Point Application Control, we have successfully controlled URL access, web access, and malicious website access for users."
  • "Sometimes by enabling the application inspection, the firewall throughput becomes high in the older versions."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Check Point Application Control for the last three years.

We are using this feature to gain granular control over URL and web access for users by categorization and known risk level.

In my company, there are multiple departments including HR, IT, and accounting. Different departments need different types of web access. With Check Point Application Control, we provide web access such as hiring applications exclusively to HR, not to other departments such as IT and accounting. Similarly, some websites are not accessible for the HR department but are accessed by IT. In all these scenarios, we implement Check Point Application Control.

What is most valuable?

We have a deny policy where all known URL threats are by default blocked so that no malicious website can be accessible through the network.

Check Point Application Control provides in-depth visibility of what users are accessing in real-time. We can get reports of top ten users or any specific users, and we can block any particular URL by categorizing or the specific domain.

The reporting is very useful as we must submit those reports to our higher management. We can easily identify the top ten users accessing malicious websites or the top ten risky users. With these reports, we are preventing unauthorized access.

The configuration of Check Point Application Control is straightforward as it is an inbuilt feature of the Next-Generation Check Point Next-Generation Firewall. There are multiple categorized URLs where we can block access with the help of categories.

After deploying Check Point Application Control, we have successfully controlled URL access, web access, and malicious website access for users.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes by enabling the application inspection, the firewall throughput becomes high in the older versions. This aspect can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

It has been almost more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point Application Control is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are using only Check Point Application Control.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have evaluated Fortinet URL filtering.

What other advice do I have?

Check Point Application Control is very useful, and time is significantly reduced. With this application, we can easily configure the policies and control web access for users.

I advise those who are looking for application control to consider Check Point Application Control feature, which is very easy to deploy and maintain.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Check Point Application Control an 8.
