Key learnings from peers
Last updated Mar 27, 2026

Valuable Features

  • "It allowed us to have content filtering and commercially available firewall perimeter management that had been available since 1997, was very functional, and was one of the best brands that had been securing the network."
  • "The application control of the solution is something that I find very valuable."
  • "VPN clients are easy to use and deploy."

Room for Improvement

  • "Every time we made a change, the policy took about three minutes to apply, and obviously, when there were emergency changes or changes that we needed that were escalated, they were not modified very, very quickly."
  • "The reporting from the file or reporting from mobile access needs improvement. The solution, in general, could use better reporting tools."
  • "Pricing is sometimes challenging, although it brings a lot of features."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.

Author infoRatingReview Summary
Manager Informationssicherheit at Bacher Systems EDV GmbH5.0We use Check Point VPN-1 as a comprehensive firewall for network security, providing features like IPS, anti-malware, VPN, and more. While pricing and interoperability can be issues, its easy administration makes it our top choice.
Consultant at ITQSOur company uses Check Point VPN-1 [EOL] for secure remote access. It offers valuable features like VPN and IPS. While performance needs improvement in scalability, integration, and reporting, its security provides a good ROI, prompting us to continue its use.
Cloud Engineer at ITQS3.0I used Check Point VPN-1 for its valuable content filtering and site-to-site VPN capabilities in the early 2000s. However, policy changes were slow, often taking three minutes to apply, which caused significant delays for urgent modifications.
IT Administrator at a retailer with 51-200 employees4.0I value its application control and good technical support, but I believe reporting tools, especially for file and mobile access, need significant improvement.
