Check Point NGFW Reviews

We primarily use it for security.

The most valuable features for us are the solution's identity awareness and intrusion prevention.

The solution is very stable.

We have found the solution to be scalable. 

Technical support is very good.

The complexity could be fixed. It's a bit complex to set up, for example. They could make it a streamlined and easier process. 

In a future release, it would be nice if they added web administration capabilities. 

I've been using the solution for about 20 years. It's been two decades at this point. I've used it for quite a while. 

The stability of the solution has been excellent so far. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the product is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can. It's not hard. 

We have found the technical support to be very helpful and responsive. We are satisfied with the level of support we get from them.

The initial setup is not easy. It's a bit complex. 

We're a partner.

I'd recommend this solution to other users and companies. We've been happy with its capabilities. 

I'd give the solution a rating of nine out of ten.

We use this solution for web filtering and threat analysis.

The reporting needs to be improved. I still don't have access to the reporting service.

I have been using Check Point NGFW for three years.

I am not sure which version is being used at this time. If we are not using the latest version, we are using the version before that.

We have recently had some issues with the stability of this solution. It is not stable.

We had an issue when we made some improvements to our power supply and the Check Point stopped working and needed to be recovered. There were many errors in the file system and it could not start. It blocked the work for the entire factory. We lost three days where we could not work.

That was the final straw for us and why we are moving to FortiGate.

Our company is outsourcing the support.

We are also using Fortinet FortiGate 600 and 200. We have also just ordered Palo Alto.

We pay the licensing fees on a yearly basis.

We are one of the largest manufacturers of steel in Europe.

I would not recommend this solution to others. I am very disappointed.

I would rate Check Point NGFW a five out of ten.

On-premises

Our primary use of Check Point NGFW is for network protection.

The most valuable feature of Check Point NGFW is it is a complete solution for protecting not only the network but the applications. Additionally, it provides a hybrid cloud solution.

The whole solution has room for improvement.

I have been using Check Point NGFW for approximately five years.

The solution is very stable.

Check Point NGFW has been scalable.

I would rate the technical support of Check Point NGFW a seven out of ten.

The installation is straightforward.

We have one staff member that does the implementation of the solution.

I would say that the customer has to implement Check Point NGFW with the reseller. They have experience in the implementation and with security.

I rate Check Point NGFW a ten out of ten.

Public Cloud

We are Check Point partners and I'm a co-founder and CTO of our company. 

The firewall and IPS are the most valuable features of the solution. 

I think third-party integration could be improved. We have also faced some performance-related challenges and there is some work to do in that area too. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

We're satisfied with the stability. 

The solution is easy to scale. 

The technical support response time needs to improve. 

This solution was moderately difficult to implement. We had some help from the distributor. We receive automatic updates but no maintenance is required. We have two people administering the solution. 

The solution offers good value. 

I recommend this product. It offers good value, and it's a high-quality product. I rate the product eight out of 10.

On-premises

We were looking for a solution to simplify our hybrid cloud infrastructure. We wanted something that could manage both our on-premises and cloud environments seamlessly. Nutanix offered that unified management plane. We also needed to improve our disaster recovery capabilities.

It's been really good. It simplified our operations significantly. We're able to manage everything from a single pane of glass, which has been a huge time saver.

The Prism Central management console is excellent. It gives us a centralized view of our entire infrastructure. Also, the built-in disaster recovery capabilities have been essential. We've tested failover scenarios, and they worked flawlessly. It simplified our operations significantly. We're able to manage everything from a single pane of glass, which has been a huge time saver.

The initial setup was a little complex, but Nutanix support helped us through the process. Also, licensing can be a bit complicated.

We've been using it for about two and a half years now.

The initial setup was a little complex, but Nutanix support helped us through the process.

Nutanix support helped us through the process when the initial setup was complex.

Positive

The initial setup was a little complex, but Nutanix support helped us through the process.

Licensing can be a bit complicated.

Absolutely. Especially for companies looking to simplify hybrid cloud management and improve disaster recovery.

Hybrid Cloud

Other

We use Check Point NGFW for edge firewalls as well as internal segregation firewalls. It easily allows us to separate critical traffic from non-critical office traffic.

We use Check Point NGFW for edge firewalls as well as internal segregation firewalls. It easily allows us to separate critical traffic from non-critical office traffic. Check Point ThreatCloud is excellent. Their central management console makes managing hundreds of firewalls very easy, and their antivirus that's part of the ThreatCloud is very good. Since implementing it, we have noticed a lot less getting through that maybe other antivirus within firewalls had failed to catch.

Pricing is high, but it's worth it. That's the main one.

I have been using Check Point NGFW for over ten years.

Check Point NGFW is stable.

Check Point NGFW has excellent scalability.

Customer support is excellent.

Positive

We did previously use several solutions from SonicWall and other vendors, and Check Point was just a better overall solution for our environment.

Make sure to get a good third-party consultant or something to assist you, as the learning curve is steep at first.

We have seen a good return on investment. However, I do not have any metrics I can easily share.

All good. No issues.

We evaluated a few other companies. The main one, or the biggest competitor, was Palo Alto.

Make sure, if you do not have any experience with Check Point, to get a good third-party consultant or something to assist, as the learning curve is steep at first, but well worth the end benefit. Reliability, customer support, and just overall excellence. I would rate the overall solution ten out of ten.
