We have a constant need to evolve and are migrating towards the cloud due to greater availability and better benefits at the level of hardware and computing.

With the understanding that we must have a faster, more efficient team with greater benefits when creating equipment or application services, we were looking for a solution with high user acceptance. We also wanted to meet the external and internal needs of the company and maintain solid corporate governance that includes offering the highest level of security standards. This product allowed us to create that level of security and develop natively in the cloud.  

The product has allowed us to develop applications from the cloud - even with large environments and well-segmented security lines. We're managing to prevent threats from any front with automated security. We can easily design, install, and configure everything from the cloud in a coherent way. It's easy to establish security policies to manage local and cloud environments now.

I am turning to a multi-cloud solution. Being able to achieve analysis and prevention of advanced threats and security in the network regardless of the environment has been great. It doesn't matter whether they are hybrid clouds, local networks can be resolved entirely in the cloud, and everything is managed from a single panel. We've managed to achieve a centralized visualization of our infrastructure, giving us greater insights and an overview of everything that happens in the organization.

The CloudGuard Network Security solution has given us an overview yet has allowed us to segment the cloud in many ways. We can create networks where we can separate the data, information, and structure of history. We can segment databases into smaller groups by type or quality of the resource. 

We're able to validate in a logical and physical way across layers and can segment data to allow for greater reach in terms of management. In the future, we'd like characteristics to be further simplified. While today we can manage some scopes, there are still some segments in the OSI layer we cannot manage. We'd like visibility on security and perimeter management qualities in order to reach other layers of the OSI model. Right now, we don't have the scope to reach some physical layers. 

I've been using the solution for less than a year.

We needed to establish a security posture under certain requirements. We needed to protect infrastructure as a service and our software as a service platform in each of our environments for the development and implementation of the cloud. 

We needed to provision instantaneous computing infrastructure and administration through the Internet. Management and security was the initial requirement, with more requirements being established. We were seeking a baseline that was provided to us by a security expert that would allow us to identify and remediate security risks and evaluate monitoring automation. We needed a solution that could prevent the company from being violated when implementing and managing a new configuration.

The solution give us compliance and offered continuous evaluation of the policies that were established. We managed to automatically generate tools for the detection and resolution of compliance and managed to establish supervision of the operations, including the management of each incident which involves identifying risks and qualifying in order to be able to share any news or updates. This allowed us to be more proactive, complete, and precise. 

The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have. It has helped resolve several security incidents that we previously had, and we could not see since previously we did not have a solution that allowed us to quickly and safely manage each one of the activities. With Check Point, we can now map incidents and see how the security teams work to verify the integrity of the systems.  

When it comes to validating the power, security, implementation, and management, I would like to also have the capacity more easily on-premise as well as the cloud. Some problems have been found in analysis at the time of execution, and local install revision agents have generated management incompatibility. It is important to evaluate the applications that are on-site since they are needed in the organization. We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs.

I've used the solution for approximately nine months.

Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence surveys the company's multi-cloud servers to ensure they are free from threats. 

The software provides real-time data analytics on the performance and security situation around the applications. Data visualization enables the company IT team to easily monitor the networking system and notice any abnormality. 

The intelligence provision on workflow infrastructure enables my team to prepare for risks and put measures for curbing malware attacks. The system has provided CloudBots that detect any threats and misconfigurations automatically from our cloud servers.

The platform has enabled the company to avoid unnecessary data threats affecting the workflow chain and slowing down performance. 

Intelligence information with real-time data has enabled all the teams to plan effectively and make informed decisions. 

It is highly flexible since it can operate on both mobile and desktop devices. It allows each department to access and control operations and deploy security measures based on the demands. 

Cloud security monitoring has enhanced the safety of workloads and created a clean infrastructure for transferring data to our cloud stores and on-premises.

Typically, the threat-hunting mission scales down the performance of the entire network traffic flow to establish any drawback. Cloud threat intelligence detects any form of violation that goes beyond our policies for immediate rectification. The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system. The out-of-the-box integrations enable us to integrate security technologies and create robust security management systems. The set features have a great impact on the overall performance of the company programs, and we are grateful for this great solution. 

The software configurations theory is complicated, and without proper planning and a well-skilled technical team, it cannot perform its tasks properly. Without effective mapping of critical areas, the platform cannot provide very good results. 

The maintenance cost is high after deployment, and it requires close monitoring for effective results. 

This version performs effectively when it is channeled to the right network infrastructure. It has created a centralized operation system that can comprehensively monitor and manage security for all connecting systems.

I've used the solution for one year.

It is stable and has created a better work environment.

Providing security for a multi-cloud networking system has been awesome.

The customer service team has been providing reliable support at all times, and I thank them for such contribution.

The recorded ROI has been growing on a daily basis based on an excellent performance.

The setup cost is high.

I did not check other products.

We use the solution for safeguarding the network security infrastructure. This has been one of the greatest achievements since we come across CloudGuard Network Security. 

It has launched effective security measures that can monitor security and provide feedback. 

Workflows across the company ecosystem have can flow smoothly without experiencing any challenges. 

The multi-channel security system monitors our cloud and hybrid servers. Transfer of files from the company database to the cloud servers goes through secure channels mapped by this platform.

A well-established encryption system now secures communication and workflow management systems. Data compromisation situations reported before have been fully eliminated since we deployed this software. There is increased production with secure workflow channels. The IT team can access and control the network security of interlinked company applications. We have developed a modern digital infrastructure that can access and give reliable reports based on real-time results. We no longer experience continuous system failures with automated performance monitoring tools.

Network security threat tools can launch and give advanced reports to the IT team on the future performance of various systems. 

The data analysis dashboards provide comprehensive reports and graphic representations of network security. 

We have secured our digital systems with high-grade security tools that cannot be bypassed by ransomware attacks. The customer service technical team provided virtual training to our team and provided the best article guidelines. 

The automatic features seal all loopholes that could be exploited by cybercriminals.

The operations require skilled manpower with extended experience of working with networking systems for better results. 

The cost depends on company size, and licensing terms are not favorable to small-scale businesses. 

The good sides are many from my experience, and I could recommend it to any growing company that requires the best-performing network security. From the first deployment, we have experienced improved and secure network infrastructure. We have been working closely with the customer service team, and there is no situation that has led to negative objections. 

A combination of on-premises and cloud computing services under one interface could enhance simple and comprehensive monitoring. 

They can integrate tools with policy recommendations and notification alerts on when to remove specific objects of the user's choice.

I've used the solution for one to two years.

The product's stable performance has stimulated business growth.

The set network security planning has been achieved, and we are happy with it.

Companies can try it for themselves and explore its great benefits.

We landed straight to CloudGuard Network Security due to the positive comments made by our partners.

I am satisfied with the current performance.

In recent years, in search of a new strategy, we have tried to strengthen our security and infrastructure posture, being one of the fundamental pillars of a large organization. 

As a result of this situation, we have begun to adapt using solutions that support us at the cloud and on-premise. Posture Management is the solution that supports us in this search for a healthy, strong infrastructure and, above all, is aligned with the legal and regulatory frameworks at an international level.

This tool is very integrated for emerging infrastructures such as the cloud. It comes to support us with this new legal framework. Ideas, opinions, and regulations serve as a baseline to protect us from new methods or attacks. Without this legal framework, it would become more difficult, as many organizations are new to the use of the cloud. This solution gives us support from the experts who have been first in this model of infrastructure and services. We can ensure that by following and adapting our needs based on these guidelines we will be a great organization with a strong vision and a great security framework established to protect us. 

We like the ability to investigate, analyze, and generate reports.

Its most notable feature is to extend the analytics it performs to teams in any available cloud. 

We can collect analysis and be able to transform in such a way that the data provided allows us to find great value in institutional security. We can support each other to be better and more efficient daily. 

Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets. This will be able to allow us to be more efficient.

I've used the solution for one year.

We are at a point where we must have security at the level of the cloud that we were managing, and we reached a point where this need led us to use the alliance we had with Check Point. It was one of their solutions that came to give us analysis value. 

It offers threat security forensics through machine learning visualization and analyzes real-time and cloud anomalies. With it, we provide that security line for our two public clouds in which we have resources and applications.

This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them. It offers actionable intelligence with intuitive visualization and queries of alerts and notifications that are customizable based on the activities found.

All these benefits and features that Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence offers have helped us to achieve a security posture in our cloud environments, being safer and more efficient, enhancing a state-of-the-art level of security at the end of the day or year. 

One of its excellent or outstanding characteristics is having a contextualized visualization of the entire public cloud infrastructure and its security analysis, which helps us see and detect any intrusion in real-time. 

It is also possible to take advantage of its cloud bot technology and advanced encryption, thus the analysis of entry and exit of our cloud environment and identifying any unwanted agent or any incorrect configuration. According to those events, we can respond and take action against those activities.

I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets. In its web version, it is quite efficient, however, I would like this improvement and the possibility of action to be able to enjoy and manage even the identity and administration under applications optimized in said function - whether they are iOS or Android. 

Another feature that I would like is being able to carry out more frequent assessments on the solution with direct Check Point teams. 

We've used the solution for one year.

We did not previously use a different solution.

We did not evaluate other options. 

We are using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security for protecting our Office 365 mail.

The solution has improved our company because our Office 365 solution is secure. Most of our Microsoft solutions are now more secure than before when they had spyware and malware. We no longer have these problems as before.

The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is the increased mail protection including spam.

The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive.

We did not use another solution prior to Check Point CloudGuard Network Security.

The initial setup of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is not difficult, it was simple. However, someone else might have difficulties. The whole implementation took approximately one day.

We had the Check Point CloudGuard Network Security team help us remotely with the implementation.

We have a service level agreement with some vendors for the maintenance, but we rarely call them, because we handle it mostly in-house.

The price of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is very high compared to other solutions, such as Fortinet FortiMail. For the over 2,000 mailboxes we use with the solution it is very expensive.

Here in Kenya, the cost of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is approximately $160,000.

I rate the price of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security a three out of ten.

We evaluated Fortinet and Barracuda, but Check Point CloudGuard Network Security was better. I found it uses very few resources.

This is a good solution, but they have to be ready to pay the high costs.

I rate Check Point CloudGuard Network Security an eight out of ten.

Check Point CloudGuard Intelligence provides network security through machine learning analytics and visualization and detecting and spotting the threat entrant detection and providing threat intelligence security proactively for restricting the endpoints at the entry stage and securing the system in the best manner possible.
