Check Point NGFW has positively impacted my organization, which has around two thousand employees, by keeping us protected from cyber threats. It's challenging nowadays, but with Check Point NGFW deployed for perimeter security, we effectively block unwanted or malicious intrusions, allowing all organizational users to stay safe while performing their tasks without disruption. The positive impact is evident as users remain focused on their work, which contributes to improving our organizational economic growth.

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.

Check Point has improved our organization's ability to manage both classified and nonclassified applications securely, ensuring they pass through multiple layers of security within our firewall infrastructure.

Check Point Quantum Force (NGFW) has impacted my organization positively, and while it's difficult to quantify, it just does what we need it to do.

Check Point Quantum Force (NGFW) has impacted our organization positively because we're more secure.

I measure that improved security by noting that we've seen fewer security incidents.

Check Point NGFW makes it easier to handle and use the firewall efficiently. It helps protect our network from internal and external threats.

Isolating obsolete operating systems wasn't in the scope when implementing the gateways originally. However, it has enabled us to secure Windows XP/Windows 7/2003/2008 machines which are end of support yet are still required to run industrial software and interface with large machines, which are not easy to replace.

Isolating machines and networks, along with SSL inspection, wasn't in scope when the gateways were spec'd. That said, five years later, they are still rock solid, and along with the Threat Cloud intelligence service, this ensures that our firewall is equipped with up-to-date threat intelligence, enhancing its ability to detect and mitigate emerging threats.

We selected this solution in order to replace the Cisco ASA we used to have. 

The features the CP firewall has combined with a very attractive price led us to this decision. The migration was smooth and all the features we needed have been configured easily and worked as expected. Additionally, the SmartConsole and the Log Event viewer made our every day to day tasks easier. 

Also, we were provided with a trial license for the compliance blade and the IPS which are truly amazing. I believe that the compliance blade will be used soon by our company in order to assist with the ISO certificate we are trying to get. 

Since we have already deployed an AWAF on our premises we didn't use the IPS but the features presented definitely would increase the security level. 

Although we use it as our data center firewall, it would be ideal for our HQ Office with all the security features it provides.

We aim to constantly improve firewall technology, which is a key strategy nowadays. We've chosen Check Point in 2007 and step-by-step upgrade and expand cyber security deployment using their solution. 

We appreciate the support and escalation when issues are in place. We really appreciate the solidity of the solution, the redundancy, we own a couple of appliances in failover. 

We use Check Point to grant VPN access both for clients and also in specific site-to-site IPSec remote connections.

We've managed to reduce the CAPEX cost of the network transformation when we leveraged the versatility of the Check Point NGFW solution. 

Instead of purchasing separate solutions for the IPS, anti-malware, and threat intelligence, the security blades of the Check Point NGFW were just enabled. 

The software subscription cost is already included in the annual software and hardware maintenance cost which made the solution more cost-effective than having separate solutions wherein we need to maintain a separate subscription for each. 

With our previous firewall solution, we had no automated compliance tools. Now, with the Check Point Quantum Network Gateways, we have the ability to automate compliance reports for both GDPR and PCI3.2, and by using VSX (Virtual System Extension) we have reduced our data center footprint. This will lead us to become a more sustainable organization. 

We have found the central management (Smart Console) to be very helpful in managing all the firewalls and keeping the software/hotfix versions up to date.

Check Points is probably not the easiest or cheapest solution to use, however, we have never had any issues with their security and the technical issues we have had with them are few and far between. 

Most support calls for us are centered around how to best deploy a feature or why something is being blocked by a certain blade. This is one of the main reasons we continue to use them as they provide proven security for my company and the built-in blades generally always provide a benefit for us.

The solution has improved organizations via:

1. Ease of deployment: We can easily implement and deploy the check Point NGFW.

2. Deep Inspection: It inspects traffic beyond just port number and IP address.

3. Threat Prevention: It has multiple security features and we can enable and integrate these features like IPS(Intrusion Prevention System), Anti-Bot Protection, and SandBoxing.

4. Organizations can enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in their network environment to verify their identity before they access the network. this feature keeps the integrity of the LAN network.

The Client wishes for the ASA firewalls to be replaced with a Check Point systems solution, which consists of 6200 Plus Appliances. 

The initial requirement was to migrate the configuration in an “as-is” state, with the necessary licensing purchased and installed to enable expansion of the solution with next-generation feature sets in the future.

The solution was able to meet and exceed the client's requirements thereby improving the client's environment.

The management server is software-based.

Firewalls and licensing include:
• FW
• IPS

The solution provides a single pane of glass management of rules/logging.

The solution supports IPsec tunnels FOR 1X IPsec VPNs.

The solution integrates with the client’s Cisco ISE RADIUS solution for administrative access.

In today's ever-evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity is paramount for any organization. For our company, the implementation of Check Point firewalls has proven to be a pivotal moment in our ongoing quest to bolster our cybersecurity defenses. These firewalls have not only improved our security measures but have also positively impacted our overall business operations.

In our industry, adhering to stringent compliance regulations is paramount. Check Point firewalls help us ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations and standards, such as HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI DSS. This compliance assurance has eased the audit process and instilled trust among our clients.

Check Point has an awesome price-to-benefit ratio, netting you an awesome throughput of IDS/IPS capability compared to Palo Alto, Cisco, and so on. 

The first year also comes with a free SandBlast tier license, so you can test the full capability of Check Point to see if your companies might benefit from it or not. 

We also integrate our Check Point with SIEM Splunk and it integrates flawlessly without a hassle. If you are looking for a one-stop solution for cybersecurity, you should check out Check Point's portfolio!

Check Point NGFW helps in many ways, including:

1. Using the application filter feature, I can block all the unwanted applications which are not used in the organization. Due to this, less bandwidth is used in the network. This leads to a cost cut in the ISP bill. 

2. With the help of URL filtering, I can block very easily. If this is not blocked, users may surf malicious websites or download malicious files.                             

3. Evaluation licensing helps us to conduct POCs and explain all features to customers. 

Check Point's solutions allow organizations to operate securely with a reliable core firewall in place, ensuring that transactions proceed smoothly.

We have not received any issues from any clients using Check Point services so far. It is really great to use and up-to-date. In Check Point, we have never seen it hit any vulnerabilities like other products.

Also, the TAC support from Check Point is excellent. I really appreciate it when dealing with complex issues. It allows us to easily obtain vendor support without many issues compared to other products.

Certifications and training from Check Point are valuable. I recently attended a boot camp and found it both knowledgeable and enjoyable.

Unlike Fortinet, where the log loading process can take up to a month, Check Point stands out for its efficiency. While other solutions may only provide logs for a short period, such as one or two months, Check Point impressively retains logs for up to six months on some machines and at least three months on others. This extended log retention period is a significant advantage for our customers, providing them with valuable insights and enhancing their overall security posture.

Mainly the easy central management with support for virtual systems has helped in the operating and analyzing time of the security department. We know that with other security solutions that don't scale well and don't have a central management system, you lose precious time operating the platform.

Under the same interface, we are using a stack of different security modules, so the learning curve is easier than the need to learn new interfaces for each specific appliance. At the same time, you can check the logs in a homogeneous way.

With Check Point we have achieved our primary goal - segmentation. We were able to limit North-South and East-West traffic which had a very impressive impact on improving security posture. 

We also have the possibility to control Internet traffic, we can use the URL filtering feature together with traffic decryption to be able to allow only safe communication. A very important thing for us is also having the possibility to use identity awareness and be able to implement policy based on user IDs (user ad groups).

The use of Check Point NGFW makes our business feel safer.

NGFWs typically include advanced threat prevention mechanisms, such as intrusion prevention systems (IPS), antivirus, anti-malware, and threat intelligence. These features help protect your network from a wide range of cyber threats.

NGFWs can integrate with user identity management systems, enabling more granular control over network access based on user identities. This is particularly important for enforcing security policies on a per-user basis.

We have been fixing the performance and also found that the solution offers:
1. A user-friendly dashboard with all the information available in front view and we view according to our requirements in graphical, statistically, etc.
2. Check Point firewall can combine all locations in one Check Point management console so that we can monitor everything with alert configuration.
3. We have multiple options for SIC resetting.
4. We can monitor the complete organization (for RAM, Memory, Disk, and CPU) and alert handle monitoring. We can now easily handle failovers.

We have been able to sell this product for a long time as it's highly rated and has a deep feature set. We have probably sold millions of dollars worth of Check Point products over the years.  

When the customer comes to us wanting the most protection we typically suggest Check Point first. Our engineers enjoy being able to quickly deploy a solution and have the familiarity with the product to be able to troubleshoot it quickly once it's deployed. For the most part, we train our customers to be able to manage it themselves.

We took some major leaps with Check Point virtualization. VSX is one of the phenomenal features of Check Point. It allows us to virtualize multiple environments. We have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars with VSX. 

Instead of using a number of small firewalls, we bought a couple of CP 23K series with 20 virtual licenses. It really worked for us with the MDS and smart log. 

HTTP forwarding is something I haven't seen elsewhere.

Check Point NGFW gateways provide superior security compared to any Indian market competitors. It delivers the highest-caliber threat prevention with excellent SandBlast Zero Day protection out of the box. 

Also, its on-demand hyper-scale threat prevention performance provides our customer with cloud-level expansion and resiliency on-premises. By integrating the most advanced threat prevention and consolidated management, Check Point's security gateway appliances are designed to prevent any cyber attack, reduce complexity, and lower our clients' costs.

Check Point Next Generation Firewall helps us with routing failover, setting up a web dashboard for better management of the platform, and ensuring the stability and availability of our firewalls with its backup features.

Since the deployment and go-live of the solution, we noted a rise in productivity of some people, we think it has to do with the deployment of the application control and web filtering capabilities of the product.

We're also happy with the deployment process and the help that the Check Point partner provided in the initial configuration of the product. 

Our users also noted more speed on the internet connection, as I said probably because of the block rules implemented with the features mentioned above.

Check Point NGFW has helped us to significantly reduce our risk of cyberattacks by providing comprehensive protection against a wide range of threats, including malware, viruses, ransomware, phishing attacks, and zero-day threats. 

It has also improved our network performance and reliability by optimizing traffic flow and reducing latency. 

We are confident that Check Point NGFW will continue to protect our network from the latest cyber threats due to its advanced security features and its team of experts who are constantly monitoring and updating the product.

I haven't had any data leaks or vulnerability situations. The NGFW has been working as it should! It's performing well and offers great security for me and my customers by protecting the environment. Administrators can easily follow and monitor security events, or the health status of the environment or appliance using Smarteview, SmartEvent, and the monitoring blade. We can look at CPU usage, disk space, and traffic and can see user history in real-time. 

With our previous firewall solution from a different vendor, we were limited to basic firewall functionality without features like IPS and content filtering. With the implementation of Check Point firewall, we got a comprehensive set of features that enables us to gain clear visibility into how our applications behave and which areas we have control over. It allows us to monitor and manage application usage effectively while allowing us to filter and enforce rules in accordance with our organization's security policies.

The following has been improved:

1) The edge security posture has greatly improved. We are now able to detect and prevent threats coming from the public internet. The firewall is able to block know threats using the inbuild Intrusion Prevention blades.

2) We can connect with other organizations using site-to-site VPNs to enable inter-organization communication.

3) Check Point comes with a strong management solution that allows us to monitor and track threats that are detected and prevented. It also helps us be in compliance with industry standards.

Check Point has improved our organization's security posture, especially the IBAC, application control, IPS, and IDS. It's easy to set policies on the firewall, which has greatly simplified cleanup and management.

We recently upgraded from R80.10 to R40, and we've had an overwhelmingly positive experience with this version. Our visibility of threats and vulnerabilities has improved. Check Point added new features and revamped its reporting and analysis.

Check Point NGFW products have improved the operation of our organization by allowing us to secure our perimeter from attacks, probes, malware, DDoS, bots and general bad actors. It also allows us to secure outbound traffic from our users. 

It allows us to fine tune how we allow users to access resources both in our DMZ and externally. This helps us to secure customer and user data in order to prevent privacy issues, prevent loss of operations or downtime which we cannot accept. 

Being able to use the products in redundant pairs has also allowed us to provide a more stable network.

I can walk you through a situation where Check Point NGFW made a difference for my organization by helping in getting or stopping the emails which are unwanted and can be harmful for my organization.

Check Point NGFW has positively impacted my organization because, as a security provider, we have business from multiple nations worldwide, but certain nations where we do not have any business relevancy require traffic blocking.

Check Point NGFW helps us significantly by preventing sophisticated cyber attacks, controlling user access to application websites based on policy and user identity, segmenting the internal network, and providing centralized firewall management. These features have helped us manage and strengthen our security posture.

We have observed improved network visibility and control with detailed reporting and logging after implementing Check Point NGFW, along with a stronger compliance posture and reduction in incidents.

It enhanced our organization's security posture compared to our previous solution. It offers superior protection with advanced threat management capabilities, including robust firewall defenses, intrusion prevention, and real-time anti-virus and anti-malware protection. 

This has markedly reduced our vulnerability to cyber threats. Additionally, the appliance's content filtering and application control features have enabled us to manage bandwidth more efficiently, prioritizing critical business applications and preventing unnecessary traffic. This optimization has not only improved network performance but also reduced operational costs by eliminating bandwidth wastage. 

It has improved my organization due to the in-depth security it provides. Check Point has a lot of security-focused features that provide a great level of network security. It has improved the security posture of the organization due to the granularity that can be set in the policies, such as using access roles to set user-based access, and time-based rules to only apply a specific firewall rule at a specific time. It has also improved my organization because of the in-depth troubleshooting steps that are made available to the end user, meaning we can troubleshoot issues easily, and troubleshooting steps can get very advanced.

With the outstanding capabilities of Check Point, we managed to have stable site-to-site VPNs with all our partners and with every other vendor's devices. The remote access capabilities and features are considered very strong, since the settings are excessive, and focused on each customer's need. 

The IPS engine and all threat prevention features are considered stable. Central management of every firewall spread all over the world is achieved by setting up an SMS server, which makes our lives easier.

The primary focus is on safeguarding the customer's internal applications, especially for traders. When it comes to security, the main advantage lies in risk mitigation, akin to insurance.

The integration of Check Point Next Generation Firewall proved to be highly productive and scalable, and everything was offered at a lower price.

Check Point Next Generation Firewall helped out us drive innovation and growth in our organization. It provided a safe passage for system and data security via its services of navigation, control, and filtering. The product ensures that all users stay connected to business applications and helps restrict traffic.

Overall, the Check Point Next Generation Firewall protects us from all types of internal and external threats while being easy to use and set up.

Check Point NGFW was one of the top contenders when we were looking to implement a new firewall strategy. 

We have had some issues with VPN tunnels specific to AWS, which were eventually resolved after a lengthy case however, other than that, the features offered are all great, and the firewall has done its job to my expectation. 

It is, however, difficult at times to read the actual documentation for the blades/appliance as it would appear that sometimes the terminology is incorrect or skewed, which leads to a longer implementation time.

1. It's offering perimeter security to publicly accessible sites. There's better security at the edge and DMZ with the use of access policies. 

2. The activation of Intrusion Prevention Blades offers better security at the perimeter and between DMZ Zones. IPs also have prebuilt security profiles making deployments of IPS fast and efficient, and exceptions to the rule base are easy.

3. The use of a remote access VPN is used to connect to partner sites.

4. Check Point offers virtualized systems, making it easy to scale. Instead of buying new equipment, we have set up virtual systems for the DC and user networks.

Back when we had a different brand of firewalls, we were having trouble managing all of them separately. With Check Point's HA capability, we merged all of our Check Point firewall management. With this, we can apply a viable DRC solution that our company needs and also manage, view logs, and administer all of the components together.

With the capable appliances, we don't experience any CPU and Memory utilization most of the time. With the help of new versions, Check Point is moving forward. We hope the upcoming version will provide hyper flow, and this will solve our elephant flow problem.

The solution has helped out organization stay safe with its depth application filter, URL filtering, and SSL inspection. It's mitigated a significant amount of risk for corporate users as well as to host services at our terminal that need access from the internet. By far, it's the best security solution one can adopt for their organization. 

It's:

• Reduced attacks on DMZ servers
• Blocked access of malicious destinations hit by internal users
• Complete visibility about what is going and what is coming via internet
• Check Point is the industry’s unified cybersecurity architecture that protects businesses against sophisticated 5th generation cyber-attacks.
• Having multiple checkpoint products under the same roof provides consolidated security.
• Ultimately saving cost by having better centralized solution

As mentioned in the primary use case question, ISP Redundancy and VPN are the two primary use cases. When the pandemic hit, a sudden shift to a remote workforce was a major requirement for us, and we needed a reliable and stable firewall. Implementing ISP Redundancy helped ensure that, as well as having a tried and tested VPN solution. Upgrades have occurred during this time and manually planned failovers as well; every upgrade and test went smoothly and without issue. The last thing we could afford is an outage.

Our policy is to deny all outbound traffic unless we allow it, which can generate a lot of work to build a rule base that allows everything we need to get out. 

This solution has made managing connections out to the web much better due to the categorisation and app control that is available. Being able to say certain apps and services are allowed out, instead of finding all the relevant IPs, has massively reduced the workload. The ability to manage the Client VPN and relevant rules for that in the same location has also improved the way we work. Having links into AD for group membership recognition and having rules based around this has been very useful in improving the way remote users can access the network.

In our organization, we are using policy configurations where various policies are configured for internal to outside organization communication, and our DM's are there too. Various zones are created in our organization. 

For each particular zone, if I want to communicate with the external zone, then I need to create a policy for internal to external. Various rules can be created, particularly for organization communication outside the organization. It will be configured in our organization and four gateways are there allowing for our four different locations to communicate. 

In our HR deployment, hiring deployment, there is a new and legacy mode that we are currently using.

Regarding the benefits of using the tool, I would say we spend less time investigating security incidents because we have fewer of them to deal with because Check Point works quite well. The tool offers greater visibility when it comes to network traffic.

The Check Point solution has improved the way the customer organization functions.

People are working within the organization all over the world, across NALA, APAC, and EMEA regions. Having Check Point as a security vendor made it easy to assure people they could access the resources everywhere, from offices, homes, and across the globe, especially during the pandemic, safely.

One of the last implemented projects was replacing an obsolete Client Auth solution with Identity Awareness, including integration to AVD.

The primary advantage stems from the precision of the application engines. Customers can rest assured that unwanted infiltrations into their organizations are unlikely due to the advanced nature of the IAV engines. The algorithms employed are notably stringent, and while they may not be publicly disclosed, they play a crucial role in thoroughly scanning all incoming network traffic. Leveraging this technology, customers can swiftly and effectively protect their LAN network with Check Point.

Check Point NGFW is the best in terms of comprehensive protection against network threats, malware, and phishing and smoothly restricts these via anti-phishing algorithms.

The source package covers all the bases - application control, NAT, DLP, routing, content awareness, VPN, desktop security, et cetera.

It provides end-to-end resolution. It is a customized productive service and a complete solution for perimeter protection that blocks traffic based on IPs, applications, and content.

This security tool helps us a lot in the public cloud environment. We can provide perimeter security in the environment now.

We have been able to implement server policies, DMZ subnets, and updates, among others, that are not available for all VNETs, subnets, or servers, and with this, we have greater control.

Additionally, we have created new VPNs against some offices, which are monitored, encrypted traffic, and find it really easy to provide the required service.

Finally, we have created nets for public access to the infrastructure. It has really helped us a lot.

At the organizational level, the integration and implementation of Check Point NGFW took place on a priority basis based on our data and system security concerns about malware and phishing attacks.

The state-of-the-art perimeter firewall we use today has great benefits and an outstanding number of available features put into place. The characteristics on offer have come to give an added value under a single investment, thus offering many advantages. We have achieved and a return on investment and the benefits are consistent with the expectations set in motion. We are managing to correct and protect not only one area, but we are putting into operation additional functions to achieve an appropriate level of security. 

Check Point has given us the ability to comply with regulations and with capacities in a way that we never could before. Not only have we managed to secure our network, our infrastructure, and our equipment - we have also managed to gain analysis and additional configurations in each of the complex procedures that are carried out daily.

With the Next-Generation Firewall disable solution, we have been able to solve not only the issue of perimeter security. We have also managed to incorporate a real-time search and analysis into our organization, which allows us, in some cases, to even enable the emulation capacity and solution in real-time. 

It is giving us a greater reach for greater prevention and is proactively protecting our employees. 

Check Point is a business ally in our organization. We have many users outside of it who are dedicated to the sales part. In my case, in my experience, I have been learning about the solution for a short time. That said, it has been a learning experience and constant evolution as I learn to function in this new position.

The solution is great and simple to implement. It has improved the security posture and overall management of this segregated network.

We have this deployed globally across multiple sites and it's very easy to manage compared to other vendors. 

We have been using this solution now for a few years and never came across any issues. 

The documentation is simple to understand and is easily available. 

The support is also observed to be good and we never had to escalate the cases due to support issues.

The designs, including Check Point next-generation firewall equipment, have allowed us to have all branches interconnected with the same brand and the same site-to-site communication service. We can encrypt the traffic through these VPNs and ensure communication in all directions, solving transactions and access to applications and services within our organization and outside of it. Additionally, we have a content filtering robot that ensures that users and applications are reached solely and exclusively by our networks and users. 

It has similar features to other competitors in standard sizes, so it's not a subject where it differs much. It provides us with a layer of security as a firewall. With the new blades that are opened as an extra, it can provide solutions that are needed today, such as IPS and URL filtering. 

You can do app and URL filtering through a separate policy layer. The fact that these can be separated and made in different layers provides excellent convenience for the administrators who regulate the rules. In object searches, object explorer is very easy and fast.

Check Point NGFW helps us to secure our user's computer and our server and therefore helps us to maintain business operations. It has important features like an intrusion prevention system, anti-virus, and anti-bot capabilities. 

It also helps us manage bandwidth efficiently by managing what website is allowed to access by users. 

We're limiting user access to websites with high bandwidth demand like video streaming and social media, of forbidden websites like adult websites. 

We can manage which users have access to certain websites.

The solution is very helpful. Using Check Point helps our security team with mitigation and prevention with an easy user interface and configuration. 

Anti-malware and URL filtering can mitigation many malicious activity and log for event easy for us to send to our security operation center team, for internet solutions we use load balancing method with a round-robin algorithm which is very very helpful for internal user solution for accessing the internet with redundant availability.

We have good peace of mind now, after deploying this solution. We could easily defend against zero-day attacks and day-to-day vulnerabilities.

Since the time we deployed the solution, we are 100% safe and secure.

At present, the newly deployed solution is being used for reverse proxy, the site-to-site VPN, and SSL VPN along with the proxy for a few of the machines.

Their threat emulations and Bot Services are a must-try. 

You can just deploy it, sit back, and relax without any issues.

Check Point NGFW enabled us to switch from a decentralized solution with seven firewalls to a solution that's easier to manage with high-availability firewalls and capabilities that were previously lacking in NGFX. It helped us connect our users working remotely during the quarantine while maintaining our security policies and avoiding zero-day attacks. 

The solution makes administration more straightforward because we can replicate the policies in both data centers with a single click, helping us to deploy quickly in both gateways without problems.

It has provided us with great protection from threats. I've been here 30 years, and we've had two incidents, and none of them were within the time we've used Check Point.

Check Point Firewall provides advanced security for the organization. The FW controls access and traffic to/from the internal and external networks. The Firewall rule base defines the access control and network performance to help our organization achieve the below security advantages:

• Only allows authorized connections and prevents vulnerabilities in a network
• Gives authorized users access to the correct internal networks
• Optimizes network performance and efficiently inspects connections
• Protection of all assets from internal and external threats

Checkpoint NGFW improved the security posture of our network infrastructure to the point where we can use antivirus, IPS, and antibot features to tighten up the security. We can also use URL filtering where we can block malicious URLs in communications. We can easily stop and detect Day-Zero attacks. 

The throughput of the firewall is very big for data transitions. The antivirus also includes DPI (deep packet inspection), which examines the data within the packet itself rather than only looking at packet headers. This enables users to identify, categorize, or block packets with malicious data more effectively. 

Prior to using Check Point, we had a Draytek small business firewall, the Draytek would often hard lock, which resulted in the loss of internet connectivity for the business. The only way around this was to reboot the Draytek device which in turn would lose logging data as to what was causing the issue. 

Moving onto Check Point completely solved this problem. The hardware is much more capable and the logging and alerting functionality means, should anything happen (like it did with the Draytek), we would have visibility on the logs which would give us a direction for troubleshooting and mitigation. 

Central management saves so much time. We were spending so much time with ASAs. I only had experience with Cisco ASA before, however, after implementing this in branch location it became quite easy to manage the firewalls remotely. 

As mentioned, a few of our engineers use APIs to upgrade or push global changes for all regional locations which were tough to manage. Now, it has eased our job as network engineers. It was a good decision by our organization.

We have improved our performance and bandwidth through the networks. Security is also improved. We have better control over the logs and better integration with our SIEM. 

We can also manage all our firewall from a central management console so each policy is under control and can be developed better. Inline policies help to understand on the correct use of the policies and a more readable list. We can also manage policies in two or more people at once without problems or risk of making the wrong policy.

Since the security policy of all firewall gateways can be defined centrally on the Check Point firewall management server, it is a lot easier to generate a secure and safe policy for all locations.

Since we can define policy operators for dedicated traffic selections, some of the lower IT staff can easily allow or block services or servers or create their own policy without interfering or compromising the rest of the security policy.

This makes the administration and coordination of the policy a lot easier for us

It is hard to say how a product like a firewall is improving our organization. The firewall does what it should. Primarily, the management makes this product great. There is no other product on the market that is nearly as perfect a tool for managing firewall rule bases and I know many of them. Check Point has much fewer vulnerabilities in their products and also is very quick to react to vulnerabilities.

We have NGTX blades so that we have protection against known and unknown attacks (zero-day). In terms of protection, we passed from none to one of the most advanced protections in the market. 

Regarding endpoints, we can see a lot of prevented attacks and phishing attempts every day. We can see the whole solution running in our environment correctly.

We gained a lot of visibility of traffic patterns, destinations, and use of network (internal and external) resources due to the logs and views within the Smartconsole.

As a replacement for an old solution in the office, we were not expecting big improvements with the firewall. However, we had noticed an improvement while we added rules into the system. The new GUI is really nice and easy to use.

We are now able to use infrastructure as a code and add the firewall into the pipeline with terraform as a controller and everything works really well. 

The tension of being well protected from the outside world has decreased due to the sturdiness and reliability of the solution. 

Results are predictable and managing everything is easy with the right tooling. The management solutions are easy to use and make it possible for our administrators to manage numerous amounts of devices in one console. 

Software updates/upgrades contain valuable additions and it is clear that Check Point has the right focus on the requirements of what should be added as functionality.

We have so many standalone firewalls. The central management of Check Point with different sessions/permissions is great. We can administrate all topics smoothly. The Application Control brings us to the next level of controlling cloud apps and other stuff.

Anti-Bot and the IPS are good features to check/defend our servers and company. We can prevent servers easily for vulnerabilities from/to the public internet and we can see what traffic/actions is active on our lines. 

Our Security Operation Center is very happy about the solutions too due to the fact that they have so much transparency.

For our client, it is extremely important to protect the internal network infrastructure from any malicious attempt to break into their critical data. The NFGW cluster has been a step towards greater visibility in regards to their internal operations. The logs give a very detailed panorama of risks.

Check Point firewalls have helped our organization to securely promote the traffic flow in a secure way that is fast and swift.

There's faster identification of customer traffic issues identifies via a smart view tracker and centralized management of rules. It has an ease of access policy and a human-readable format.

We have multiple virtual routers configured on the physical firewalls which connect with L3 connectivity to other domains. The Perimeter DMZ firewall protects the boundary zone environments.

Check Point Next Generation Firewalls are key components in protecting our assets and information. Their security modules are very easy to use and understand. Also, it's one of the most user-friendly interfaces I’ve had the opportunity to use and I’ve had the chance to work with more than four firewall solutions.

Their reporting and logs modules are amazing. It provides a level of detail and visibility that we haven't had before. It’s useful to understand what is happening on our network and has been very successful in blocking attacks and providing options for executive summaries. 

Being able to manage all the security gateways for our multiple sites in a single management console and share policies has been very beneficial.

I've been in the same company for 11 years, and Check Point has been running in a stable manner for our company's main internet connection (and 7 years before that).

It has protected our main applications successfully without any performance drops, and with its flawless logging capabilities, we were able to pinpoint any issues every time.

The management is also the best among any other firewall, with the convenience to create the objects and rules on the same page. This has helped us save time on operations. We can use APIs to create objects and rules to easily finish some projects.

In the beginning, my organization did not have a security scheme, which caused a latent security risk. My internet services were never enough due to the high traffic used towards social networks and entertainment sites. With my Next-Generation Firewall, I have managed to reduce the cost of my links since now we use them appropriately in the resources and tasks that are necessary. 

For the lateral movements, previously all of my users had access to server networks and communication could cause lateral movement of viruses and ransomware. Now, I have the perimeter towards the internet protected and I am protected against unauthorized access.

It helped clients get through big audits for PCI, which has been very cost-effective for them. In one hour, they make 30,000 to 40,000 pounds worth of sales. A PCI audit has actually threatened them, "If you don't do it by this date, you will have to stop taking payments." Even if the audit is delayed about an one hour or so, they'll have thousands of pounds worth of losses. The previous company may have spent a lot of money on Check Point, but they save a lot as well. So, they were quite happy with that. 

We installed this firewall in our organization one year ago, and it is completely fine. There are other deployment also going on for other customers. Most of those deployments are handled by our project teams. 

With the help of Check Point NGFW, we are able to prevent attacks like phishing, ransomware, zero-day attacks, malware, etc.

Check Point has a Purpose fit solution for our environment A lot of things need to be improved in Check Point NGFW. 

For example, their support team isn't very efficient and useful. The solution itself isn't easy to learn, making it hard for support to provide solutions. The design makes it so pockets (specific teams) have to work together when there's an issue, which creates a mess. Also, Check Point lacks competitive capabilities like SD-WAN and CGM app integration. 

Visibility needs improvement. For example, Fortinet shows all connected devices with IP addresses, MAC addresses, and sometimes usernames. More granular detail is crucial for security. 

Support efficiency, visibility, and adding competitive capabilities are key areas for improvement.

The organization needed a tool that would provide various security functionalities in the organization, and so far, Check Point NGFW has helped us a lot. It has helped us by applying access control policies and limiting access to third parties and only those who must enter the organization to use resources and applications.

The application behaved very well with the Azure resources in the cloud; it helped us to prevent several security holes found with web filtering and internal DDoS attack.

Check Point NGFW can quickly identify where the attacks are coming from, provides detailed and complete information on the attacks, and provides zero-day attacks in real-time.

It can be managed by many people. I have a team, and any of them can manage this firewall and make some changes. All the changes are combined into one policy.

Check Point NGFW gives us granular security with its intuitive policies, application control, monitoring, logs, and a wide range of blades that can be purchased and included in this tool, providing a more integrated and centralized security to improve infrastructure protection.

With this, we can use S2S VPNs to communicate with other sites. We can monitor and protect with Check Point.

There are several ways to implement it. In our case, we use an HA solution, a Check Point cluster that safely provides us with work continuity.

Check Point NGFW has helped the company in the prevention of cyber attacks that could affect operations and slow down production. 

The intelligence reports from the real-time insights have helped members to avoid risks and plan efficiently for the future. 

Security threats that we used to experience before we deployed this product have been reduced, and the networking channels are ever safe. 

Sharing documents under secure infrastructure has increased the confidence of employees and enhanced faster implementation of tasks and projects.

The product provides a full security posture for our cloud environment. We get complete visibility of all the workload hosted across all different platforms and all traffic coming in/ out of these cloud platforms. These policies are on 24/7 from any device, say desktop, laptop, mobile, etc. 

All this is pretty easy to set up and notifies any anomaly as soon as it arises for immediate attention/ correction; some of these issues will be addressed automatically and just let you know it was identified and solved.

I have been using the Check Point NGFW as a primary firewall with all policies and rules configured on it. It helps as an Intrusion Detection System. This has improved my network performance as it illuminates suspicious activities before they reach the network. 

The network monitoring tool allows me to know who and what is hogging all the bandwidth and therefore apply it to remediate action and hence improve network performance. The Check Point NGFW helps me with QOS, during these times of work from home and virtual meetings, I can easily allocate required bandwidth to MS Teams, Zoom, and WebEx.

Check Point is the first vendor in which we found the stateful firewall terminology. It is always on the top of the list of best firewall solutions. 

Financially, the benefit of Check Point is very high when I compare it with an average firewall solution. At the end of the day, the benefits it provides are already higher than I paid. 

Our business performance is already doubled by the help of Check Point. If we need to talk about efficiency of administrators while managing a security  solution, I consider it as one of the most important item. 

Thanks to Check Point, our security team can easily handle different problems in time.

Primarily, Check Point played a very vital role in protecting our whole network infrastructure. Having been able to implement such a solution will keep one's organization's security posture well guarded. The best part of Check Point NGFW's operational mechanisms were the Threat Extraction and Threat Emulation blades respectively. The former delivers documents with zero malware in zero seconds and the latter analyzes the original document in an isolated sandbox, identifying unknown threats. 

I'd recommend this kind of firewall for companies considering it since the detection rate for any cyberattacks/suspicious activity is very high (more than 90%).

Check Point NGFW has proven to be a reliable firewall. We have been using it for over 15 years now. 

It's offering great security while also being rather easy to manage. 

We evaluated a couple of other firewall solutions over the years, yet always came back for Check Point for a couple of reasons. First, they are the market leader and there are just very many resources online for installing, configuring, debugging, and so on. Second, other firewall solutions may initially be cheaper (especially for basic firewalling), but when you need more features Check Point has a surprisingly good price point. 

It is an excellent, easy-to-acquire system to protect midsize businesses with up to 100+ users that require a security solution that can scale across corporate networks and give us protections against GenV cyberattacks as the business grows. 

What I recommend the most is its central administration. With the smart controller, you can manage all your firewalls from one location. 

Being able to access almost everything in one location manage all your gateways and get all your logs is great. For me, it's the best feature to work with.

It improved the performance of the network on large scale. 

It's easy to use and configure. We can build the new firewalls with minimum effort. 

It's easy to upgrade the device. 

You can van view the device health on the smart view monitor and smart event monitor at a more granular level. We're achieving great performance using the latest quantum gateways. You can see the real-time logs on the management and also can configure the logging in redundancy mode. 

Using TCPDUMP, a firewall monitor, and firewall zdebug drop, you can troubleshoot the real-time issues.

Check Point's Next Generation Firewall solution was perfect for reviewing logs, providing an initial layer of anti-virus/malware protection, and providing the support, when needed, to ensure that the product remained up-to-date.  

The ease of searching through the logs for specific incidents is outstanding and very easy to understand. In addition, the categories for web content blocking have been helpful for setting base traffic standards, can block P2P networks, social media, and content not suitable for business.

The Check Point Next Generation Firewall solution has allowed us to improve our protection scenario as it is above other products that we have known. It allows us to easily update against the latest security vulnerabilities and has also allowed us to have the opportunity to analyze unexpected behavior in files and applications.

In addition, the constant improvement in the new versions allows us to include better features in the administration and ease in its configuration and allows for the possibility of obtaining important data through the reports that it generates.

It's improved our organization with simple day-to-day operations with easy tracking of traffic for troubleshooting, with a variety of features. The latest benefit for our company is to save more space for our rack with Maestro and virtualization. 

Some problems may appear and we can open TAC to get assistance from the principal. We also can control more traffic of users to the internet using application control. Our email is more secure using anti-spam and currently, we are in the middle of activating HTTPS inspection to secure our application on the internet.

Check Point firewalls are one of the most easy-to-use complete firewall solutions on the market. They protect our LANs against intruders, offer VPN for site-to-site connections, and haven't had a major issue in about 15 years. 

While not being cheap, their pricing models are competitive. 

A better approach to security focuses on prevention, blocking malware and other threats was difficult before they entered the network. By blocking the infection of “patient zero,” an NGFW with real-time prevention eliminates risk, damage, and cost to the organization.

We have planned to achieve many business use cases including IPS, Network AV, Content Awareness - Data Leakage Prevention, IPSEC VPNs between our peers, SSL VPN with Posture Assessment, and Web Proxy as well.

This solution addressed most of our needs but required multiple license subscriptions.

Below are the few Business use cases we achieved through Check Point NGFW:

1. SSL VPN with Security Posture Assessment
2. SSL VPN with In-build Multi-Factor Authentication Option (Certificate + User Credentials)
3. Content Filtering (Identity Awareness and DLP)
4. Forward Proxy with Web and Application Control
5. Enabling Anti-Bots and IPS

Before our purchase of Check Point products, we used an open-source product that lacked good integration between products and setting up to work was very tricky.

We use the Check Point mobile VPN, which is very stable and easy to use. It allows our employees to change their internal domain password when it becomes old, even when they are outside of the office for a long time. The VPN client can connect to our internal network even before the user is logged into his laptop. This allows users to receive GPO policy updates. 

Check Point NGFW have been a real rock in terms of reliability (except for Identity Awareness) and we have not had any issues in terms of CPU or memory usage as our model might have been overkill with how well it is able to process traffic and how easy and unimpactful it is when adding new blades to manage this traffic

One ability that Check Point has is that it is the first to provide us with the ability to use identities instead of using the traditional IP-based format, which allows way more flexibility in what we can do with the rule base.

The product has improved visibility into the traffic going through our network.

For all traffic leaving the network, Check Point provides the capability to inspect and permit traffic using not just ports but application IDs, which is more secure than simply permitting TCP/UDP.

Check Point has a robust IPS Blade which has added an additional layer of security on connections to the data center.

Check Point's compliance blade also helps in checking how Check Point's appliance configuration is in compliance with any requirement that we need to provide evidence for.

This solution applies NGFW features to the inside and outside traffic of the networks. The other options did not have sandboxing, reports, and the same advantages as Check Point.

We have a small firewall from another vendor. The solution is working with limitations, as it was designed with Check Point as a security solution for the perimeter with more security features for covering our network requirements and specifications and preventing advanced threats from the internet to our servers and PCs. 

In actuality, Firewalls are a must in any organization. Check Point's ability to adapt to any environment is their strength. The interface is very easy to understand, and the Smart Console can be configured to fit almost anything you need to.

When an issue appears, the logs are very easy to read, and that helps to identify the reason for the problem and solves it faster. The issues are not so annoying. 

The intruder blocking real-time is a great feature that does not even require policy installation or committing to something. This feature enables real-time attack mitigation along with full security access which helps our organization to improve its security factors. 

IPS detection is a big plus for me since it deeply scans the packet. 

URL fileting along with application control gives me the access to manage the least privilege to maximum rights on a single click.

A traditional firewall provides a stable inspection of network traffic. It allows or blocks traffic based on state, port, and protocol, and filters traffic based on administrator-defined rules.

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) does this, and so much more. In addition to access control, NGFWs can block modern threats such as advanced malware and application-layer attacks. According to Gartner's definition, a next-generation firewall must include:

• Standard firewall capabilities like stateful inspection
• Integrated intrusion prevention
• Application awareness and control to see and block risky apps
• Threat intelligence sources
• Techniques to address evolving security threats

This solution has improved our organization by allowing us to use one management point where everyone can see the current state, future changes, and logging for our perimeter. We've been able to streamline our staff to use one primary and two backup users for support. Previously, we did not have a good way to allow Remote Users to VPN directly to our network. Once we implemented and worked with Check Point, they showed us what their solution was capable of and worked with us to allow 300 remote workers to connect to our network and share policies. 

With the added ability to have multiple VPN methods to connect, the solution has worked well for remote workers who are either utilizing the Check Point VPN client or the SSL VPN web client.

The throughput with full threat detection is adequate for the Internet circuit installed at most of the client locations and is in fact better than the previous firewall solution.

The support has been great whenever Check Point has been contacted. They help resolve an issue or explain how to perform some necessary action. 

For the most part, the NGFW is easy to understand and set up and there are, of course, advanced options if a non-standard problem arises.

The Check Point Management makes troubleshooting and log analytics very comfortable. Our Engineers only need a few seconds to see if a connection is dropped or allowed, et cetera. This makes fulfilling these standard tasks easy for the operation team. The easy ruleset management helps us not lose the overview over the Check Point Firewall (NGFW) rulesets in daily operation. Good security should always be simple and clean and this product helps to make our environment more secure against any attacks from the outside.

In the past few years, the attacks and risks have grown. That's why we introduced a NGFW. All the securtiy risks can be minimized with the product. Especially if you route the whole network trafiic over the firewall. You can filter malicious sites and traffic and can analyze the entirety of traffic. The URL filter works much better and is much stronger than our other previous solution. 

In the case of migrating or patching, it is very easy due to the fact that you can transfer the whole ruleset and settings from your old device. Patching is very easy and we've never had problems.

In the past 15+ years that I have run these firewalls, we have been able to make huge strides in increasing our security posture. This has been evidenced by our annual Security Risk Assessments run by a third party. Check Point is always coming out with new features that help make it easer to manage our security posture. We have received multiple comments from other organizations praising us for the speed and accuracy of setting up new site-to-site VPNs with the proper access. This is all possible because of the intuitive Check Point software.

Check Point NGFW has improved our organization with more security and easier deployments. There is a smaller amount of workload in the supporting area. We find a lot of documentation for the products and benefit from a big community. The Check Point support is much better than what we have seen from other vendors. The firewall policy is easy to deploy and we can do a more granular separation of specific user groups. We feel much more secure with this product - especially the API support - and possible automation has saved us a lot of time in our team and organization.

Check Point NGFW has contributed to the success of the organization in keeping data safe through its powerful and flexible security features. 

In conjunction with the Check Point Management Platform, the firewalls provide an easy-to-use platform that facilitates and creates agility in the operation. The easiness to operate the platform creates a great value for the operation since it is easy to train people to work with the platform. 

Agility is also a key factor for the rapid response to business needs.

Check Point offers a reliable firewall solution with VPN options that have allowed us to establish secure and stable connections with other companies and users in a very simple way.

Simple and centralized administration has allowed us to manage all the firewall nodes from a single console, facilitating the deployment of firewalls through the network, since a large part of the configurations and access rules, as well as the protection controls, are managed from a single console and via centralized maintenance.

Check Point's firewall security solution is a complete solution that allows you to prevent attacks against your data center servers and avoid the transmission of viruses to end-users via ransomware, phishing, or forgery of URLs.

This solution has helped keep the security posture of my organization in the best possible shape. Check Point's solutions stay a cut above its competitors to make sure your IT infra Cyber is safe from both known as well as zero-day attacks and malware. 

From an operations point of view, Check Point solutions are the best in terms of providing central configuration management and also central log correlation and management. Additionally, Check Point's virtualization solutions around VSX are super-efficient and very stable.

The solution has improved the organization with respect to the following:

• Simple implementation and operation
• Central dashboard for managing branch firewalls
• Easy measurement of security effectiveness and value to the organization
• Proactive protection with the help of many inbuilt blades
• SandBlast Threat Emulation and Extraction provides us zero-day protection from known and unknown threats in real-time 
• Great visibility on the number of threats being blocked at the dashboard
• Helps to clean traffic, both egress and ingress
• A simplified URL filtering option is available for users with detailed granularity to map user/departments with respect to specific access
• It does deep packet inspection for checking HTTPS traffic. There is a shift towards more use of HTTPS, SSL, and TLS encryption to increase Internet security. At the same time, files delivered into the organization over SSL and TLS represent a stealthy attack vector that bypasses traditional security implementations. Check Point Threat Prevention looks inside encrypted SSL and TLS tunnels to detect threats, ensuring users remain in compliance with company policies while surfing the Internet and using corporate data
• It helps in the identification of C&C via Anti-Bot
• It provides geolocation restrictions that may be imposed via IPS
  
• Excellent Application Control for the administrator to manage the access for users
• Secure remote access is configured with mobile access connectivity for up to five users, using the Mobile Access Blade. This license provides secure remote access to corporate resources from a wide variety of devices including smartphones, tablets, PCs, Mac, and Linux

Check Point's solution is both affordable and easy to manage for the small business applications that we utilize them for. Due to the great pricing and support, we can afford to deploy the firewalls in a high-availability solution providing greater uptime and less worry. 

The price point of their equipment also means that we can often purchase a more robust solution compared to some competitors and Check Point's inclusion of more advanced features, such as IPS, by default, is a great selling point.

This solution was able to provide access to our internet-based resources using our application/FQDN.

The license offers different modules for NGTP and SNBT. It provides multiple functionality or blades, which can be enabled on the firewall depending upon organizational requirements.

Other than stateful packet filtering with the NGTP license, it provides blades such as IPS/URL/VPN/Application Control/content awareness/Anti-Bot/Anti-Virus/Anti-Spam. With SNBT, it provides additional security using the SandBlast Threat Emulation and SandBlast Threat Extraction for Zero-day attacks in real-time.

Any file, before it reaches an endpoint, is executed in a virtual environment for analysis. Based on the verdict and configured policy, a decision will be made as to whether it should be delivered to the endpoint or not.

It protects the environment. It gives advanced features to our company, like Antivirus, more granular security policies, and more control over the traffic, e.g., what we want to allow or deny to our environment. 

Before, we were using firewalls from Palo Alto. The benefit of the Check Point firewall is that it has more security features. It has antivirus signatures and additional features for which we should require additional hardware devices in the firewall. It also gives us a central management system, which was not present in the Cisco ASA.

We protect our internal customers using Check Point Firewalls by providing them security as well as detecting vulnerabilities. 

We have a lot of flexibility now and a leg up identifying zero day threats. We have multiple ways of doing policies now that we didn't have before. The options are more robust over previous products and I would say that we're pleased with the product. The reports I'm getting are that we're satisfied, even impressed, with the options Check Point offers.

Since we are an insurance company, the solution is a necessity.

Two-thirds of our employees are working at home at the moment, so we use the VPN feature more than we used to. Of those two-thirds, only 100 or 200 are using the remote client from Check Point. The other employees are using other technologies, like NetScaler from Citrix. 

We are able to virtualize about four firewalls on one machine. Before, we needed to have four firewall hardware devices, physical devices, from Cisco. We had four appliances, but now, with Check Point, we just have one. We can manage them, we can integrate them, and we can increase connections using one and the other. It has broken down connection complexities into just a GUI.

Also, previously we had downtime due to memory saturation with our old firewalls. We were using Cisco ASA before. During peak periods, CPU utilization was high. Immediately, when we switched to Check Point, that was the first thing we started monitoring. What is the CPU utilization on the device? We observed that CPU utilization stayed around 30 percent, as compared to 70 percent with the Cisco we had before, although it was an old-generation Cisco. Now, at worst, CPU utilization goes to 35 percent. That gives us confidence in the device. 

In addition, the way Check Point built their solution, there is a Management Server that you do your administration on. You have the main security gateway, so it's like they broke them down into two devices. Previously, on the Cisco, everything was in one box: both the management and the gateway were in one box. With Check Point breaking it into two boxes, if there's a failure point, you know it's either in the management or the security gateway. The management is segmented from the main security gateway. If the security gateway is not functioning properly, we know that we have to isolate the security gateway and find out what the problem is. Or if the management is not coming up or is not sending the rules to the security gateway, we know there's something wrong with it so we isolate it and treat it differently. Just that ability to break them down into different parts, isolating them and isolating problems, is a really nice concept.

And with the security gateway there are two devices, so there's also a failover.

It's difficult to say how these firewalls have improved our clients' companies because a firewall isn't meant to improve things, it's meant to make them more secure. Nine times out of 10, it's going to give you something that the end-users aren't so happy with. But Check Point Next Generation Firewalls improve security and, indirectly, they improve the way users work. They can access practically everything on the internet without being concerned about what's going to happen. They give users more confidence when doing something, without having to worry about the consequences because the gateway is going to help them out where needed, preventing malicious stuff.

In today's world, there are a lot of risks related to infrastructure security, malware and more. The Check Point has multiple blades in the same product, which improve security in IPS, application control, and URL filtering. You don't need to buy multiple, separate products to achieve the best security.

Using Check Point in our system has provided several benefits. Firstly, it ensures secure access for authorized users while preventing unauthorized access from public users. Secondly, it enables us to monitor application usage closely, identifying any suspicious activity such as repeated failed login attempts. 

Check Point NGFW proved to be highly scalable, secure, and stable, among other alternatives to multiple firewalls present in the market. 

Before we used Check Point, we faced many issues such as latency, business interruptions, etc. In a single bundle we have the all solutions we need - like application/URL filtering, and threat emulation/extraction. In one single platform, we can manage everything with no need for a separate console to check/manage the features and behaviors. It has improved the performance and has minimal latency.

The Check Point NGFW has improved the organization by helping with multi-tasking.

The Check Point Firewall that we have is better than the previous Cisco ASA as the firewall has IPS, anti-virus, and anti-bot installed into it at the same time. The IPS is frequently updated so the rules are always new and in place. The firewall IPS and anti-virus can also get other threat intelligence from the web so that the firewall will always have good protection that is up to date. 

The anti-bot is good as it can prevent the firewall from being protected from DDoS without creating any rules as it automatically blocks IPs that are sending too much information to the servers.

My company's customers have benefited from the solution's performance, especially when dealing with a huge amount of traffic. Check Point is a well-known name in the security industry that opts for functionalities like signature-based detection and beyond.

Thanks to Check Point, we managed to carry out a better security implementation. By placing one in a workshop, we managed to solve issues with attacks and malware.

The solution is easy to administer thanks to its dashboards. The monitoring is really useful.

Our organization gets many attacks on our server, so we have installed Check Point firewall for internet-facing scenarios,

Over time, Check Point's solutions have had fewer security breaches than their competitors, which is why they remain in high categories and quadrants, as they are a very robust technology. As pioneers in information security, Check Point has been innovating year after year in information security.

Since we implemented this architecture in our client, we have not had any security breach exploited and the organization maintains communication with its different sites through MPLS and VPN to secure and encrypt the traffic that passes through said connection.

All in all, I'm delighted with their security solution. Making configuring numerous layers of security policies easy to use was always one of the things I liked most about their firewall solution. 

You have multiple security layers that build upon each other, from the traditional security policy that is IP and port-based to application security, intrusion prevention, and their latest sandblast cloud-based malware detection. Everything is easily managed through their "SmartConsole" dashboard. 

Over the years, we have experienced various types of attacks on our company, and, without the help of the Next Generation CheckPoint Firewall, we would have lost.

The spoofing feature helps us to prevent various attacks in our organization.

The firewall policy designing and implementation allow for inline policies that make for clearer teaching on the correct use of policies as well as a more readable list. We can also run policies with two or more people simultaneously without problems or the risk of developing the wrong policy.

Securing our organization was our main goal. Check Point, with threat prevention which includes IPS antivirus antibot and threat emulation has better secured our business from the internet.  

With the auto-updates made simple and knowledgeable support personnel, it has freed up our time to focus on other IT strategies.  

Utilizing the Check Point support team has allowed us to configure and use other money-saving features like VPN tunneling to remote offices, while still remaining secure in our systems.

Its GUI platform is very good. It helps us to divide up the rule base which made it easier to recognize the rules. Its SAM database gives us the amazing ability to block suspicious activity without waiting for the next change window to push the changes. In packet flows, it first checks the SAM database beforehand in order to process the packet further.

The logs give us plenty of detail as to why any packet was blocked or allowed. It really proves the purpose of getting a stateful firewall, showing the context of every packet.

My organization already used Check Point before I arrived, however, compared with open-source firewalls, is in another tier. The usability and maintenance are so much better.

This is the best enterprise solution. Almost every university in Mexico has Fortinet or VXN, but our mission is to have the best cybersecurity protection for our information and our users. We're a private university and our clients and information are the priority. This is the reason why I chose Check Point NGFW.   

We and our customers use almost the entire palette of capabilities of the firewall solution from Check Point. We use almost every feature, from anti-spoofing and network segmentation to URL filtering and intrusion prevention systems. We also willingly use virtual private networks from Check Point, both site to site and client to site. We also leverage the antivirus blade and anti-DDoS attacks. Some of our customers use Check Point capabilities for mobile devices, which are also successfully implemented in the firewall.

The Smart Console provides a single pane of glass that allows the IT staff to easily manage the environment and troubleshoot issues. 

The UI decreases the hours required to complete a task. It also incorporates compliance and audit control validation into the system. 

IT staff can construct a single policy across all enforcement points in the Infinity architecture. 

There's a unified policy table that combines threat prevention and segmentation policies. 

SmartEvent allows consolidated event management and export.

Let's say most of the traffic nowadays goes through HTTP, your web browser.

When you browse the web, what do you suspect happens? Your browser sends HTTP requests to servers around the world, and in return, you receive a response. Big data packets originate from business applications as well, such as file transfer protocols (FTP) or web services such as MapReduce or Twitters API. Oftentimes, a breach happens through these protocols, whereby a Layer 3 firewall could potentially let the threat in (such as SQL injection by default) without explicitly denying these requests.

By deploying Check Point, it has made it easier to manage everything from a single interface. The management dashboard and policies are on its single pane of glass. This has allowed for faster resolution of problems during deployment.

Being able to look at log events and sort quickly for information in regards to problems with connectivity or traffic makes it easier to troubleshoot and gain other insights into traffic-related problems.

Overall, the insights provided also allow for data to be presented to customers to give them an overall perspective of their security.

Check Point has not improved our organization. We have observed a sharp decline in the quality of both products and support. 

Over the last several years, there has not been a single week where we have not had an outstanding issue open with Check Point support's advanced tier teams. 

Initially, we had incredibly impactful issues regarding their scalable platform hardware (which is being discontinued in favor of Maestro) to the point we were forced to rip them out due to them being completely unreliable. 

Check Point support has also seen a significant drop in quality, despite my organization even being a Diamond Support customer with Check Point. We fully believe it would be a wiser investment of time to call Geek Squad rather than Check Point.

It is a bit expensive according to the required blades but it is a platform that is worth having as security in a corporate.

It really has improved my organization in terms of protecting my network against intrusion and zero days. I have been able to explicitly configure the blocking of certain attack vectors using Check Point NGFW.

Initially, I was using the Cisco ASA5500 series firewall. I never believed there could be better firewall devices in terms of ease of setup and management. The NGFW from Check Point has increased my confidence in terms of performance and ease of configuration with its intuitive interface. It supports the VPN configuration without any unnecessary latency and packet dropping.                                                                                                                              

It blocks over 97% of threats!                                          

In addition to legacy firewall features, by using Check Point Next Generation Firewalls blade technology, you can improve your security. 

By using the smart console, you can control tens of gateways from a single point. The smart console also allows you to control all the blades from the same GUI. These features decrease our manpower needs. 

The identity awareness feature makes it easier to implement and manage firewall rules. 

The ease of configuring VPNs can be very useful especially for companies with lots of remote locations.

The remote access blade functionality is really valuable as we now need to just install the client on the user's machines and the client can be preconfigured with the site details. This makes our lives very simple. The logging of the firewall is also phenomenal as it is very granular and very easy to filter. 

The Application control blade is another valuable feature as we now only need to create a rule to be applied and to specify the applicable application which is categorized. The ability to configure dynamic objects, for example, Microsoft Office 365, is also a valuable feature.

The reports are very detailed and the variety is amazing. It caters to everything and is even more that what we had bargained for. They are also customizable, which makes them extremely valuable to us. 

Another great feature is the ability to publish corporate applications in a secure web environment.

Firewalling is one of Check Point's core business attributes, and it just works.

Creating site-to-site VPNs between Check Point Gateways that are within the same management is unbelievably easy. If you create VPNs for 3rd parties and there are mismatches or issues, you will see logs that help pinpoint issues or misconfiguration.

Application control help with identifying applications and therefore makes firewall rules easier since changing ports don't have to be adapted every time an application changes or updates.

We have a lot of flexibility now, and a leg up identifying zero-day threats. We have multiple ways of doing policies now that we didn't have before. The options are more robust than previous products and I would say that we're pleased with the product. The reports I'm getting are that we're satisfied, even impressed, with the options Check Point offers.

There is a scope of improvement in detecting zero-day threats using the SandBlast technology, by introducing emulation of Linux-based operating systems. We have also observed issues while using the products with SSL decryption. There is room for improvement in application-based filtering, as with other firewalls available in the market today. Check Point has improved its application filtering capabilities in the recent past and their latest version, R80, is more capable but still, creating an application-based filter policy is a little cumbersome.

Check Point was brought into our environment as a perimeter security device to replace the Juniper NetScreen which was originally used as the perimeter firewall. When Juniper announced the end of life of NetScreen devices, we decided to go with Check Point mainly because of the ease of management and also because Check Point was an Industry leader and Juniper was still in the initial stages of building their own firewalls using JunOS. With the introduction of Check Point with the VSX features, we could use BGP instead of the tedious static routes that we had in place with the old NetScreen.

The compliance part of the product has been very useful to our organization. There are many useful reports from this firewall device. For example, it can tell us how much of our network has compliance with the guidelines that are in place.

There is a lot of legacy traffic from other vendors that has been migrated to Check Point which has resulted in a lot of stability in our environment. Moreover, consolidation happening across different legacy environments is being enhanced by the usage of MDS and VSX solutions offered by Check Point. This is making things easier from both a migration and implementation perspective. It offers easy management architecture, and, with Smart Log, makes life easier for the operations engineers and different teams working with Check Point products.

Stability and security are the best way to describe this solution. The attacks from the outside still exist, but now we're better protected. We can view everything that goes in and out of our network with all the information in one place. The drill-down is very helpful and easy to use. Currently, we can troubleshoot connection problems live and solve them in a couple of minutes. This is an improvement on the 1-2 hours with the old solution.

In 4 years we've only had one problem with the equipment (due to a malfunctioning UPS). That corrupted the boot of the equipment, but was easily solved with an fsck.

We have been using Check Point firewalls as our main security devices for many years and thus have a strong level of expertise within the organization on implementing various features. We love the reliability and strong feature set of the firewall appliances and software blades. Managing policies with v80 and above is also much more streamlined. Troubleshooting events via logs makes identifying issues straightforward. We have multiple engineers working on policies at the same time, so the newer versions help simplify this tasks for us.

The NGFW has helped our compliance to regulations authorities such as PCIDSS. It has has helped the bank create secure connections to vendors and third party service providers as well as remain stay protected from attacks and intrusion attempts.

Check Point NGFW is the first perimeter security solution used in our environment and it is able to deliver the expected results. Specifically, it supports high-performance throughput for voluminous traffic.

The vendor has proven capability of identifying known threats, which can be seen while managing the firewall. The OEM has identified a roadmap in line with the emerging threat landscape and evolves the product to counter these threats. 

The central management console has helped with segregation, where planned interventions with management consoles do not have any impact on production or critical business traffic.

It has helped us with controlling internet access, securing our external websites, and providing remote access that you can trust (secure workspace). The latter provides with a virtual Windows 7 desktop that only allowed apps can be initiated from. In our case, we launch RDP sessions from secure workspace. 

The latest version of the software is a big win overall, with major improvements in how the rulebase is scanned (it's not the top down classical rulebase checking, but a column based checking) and overall efficiency.

Check Point NGFW has improved our organization by making our corporate network much more secure. Once our SMB appliance was installed, configured, and up and running, we could rest a little easier knowing that unauthorized access to our network just became much more difficult.

By turning on the various software blades, intrusion detection and prevention were in place, we had threat emulation and extraction in place, etc. It was a one-stop-shop for us and gave users on our network a certain peace of mind knowing that there was something in place to help keep them safe from malicious actors.

It has helped us to inspect traffic, not only with a limited protocol base but on the application/service level inspection too.

The service base access policy has provided us with a next-level restriction, which wasn't there on old school firewalls.

The integrated threat & anti-bot blade gives us protection from zero-day attacks and these can be blocked using analysis & signature matching.

The integrated intrusion prevention blade not only gives an additional level of security but also cuts down the load to manage an extra device.

Our network performance and safety have improved. The reporting also gives us more information about our network, including cost and risk reduction.

This solution helps to keep our network safe and secure, protecting our investment.

The Check Point Next Generation Firewall has improved the performance of our network, bringing the IT administrator a lot of information and data to make decisions about security, vulnerability, strengths, and weaknesses in our deployed projects.

It provides a lot of information to help better understand our users. Now we feel more confident with our network and know what happens on it, as well as what kind of traffic we have.

In addition, we have many reports that include data to help with decision-making and information about how the solution reduces cost and risk.

For my organization, CheckPoint NGFW helped us with enforcing threat prevention.

Threat prevention capabilities are a natural extension of next-generation firewalls' deep packet inspection capabilities. As the traffic passes through the device, they also inspect the traffic for known exploits of existing vulnerabilities (IPS).

Files can be sent off-device to be emulated in a virtual sandbox to detect malicious behavior, named sandbox security.

I think that the main benefit of an NGFW is the ability to safely enable the use of Internet applications that empower users to be more productive while blocking less desirable applications.

Check Point has provided us with an easier way to control all of the access traffic for more than 50 segments that we have within the organization. In addition, we have been able to maintain stricter control of the users and/or equipment that are had in all the institutions that make up the government sector of the entity.

Check Point technology has allowed us to keep the organization and distribution of the network in order within the institution. In addition, the VPN service we have has worked correctly for users who want to work remotely from their homes, which was of great help during the pandemic.

We have reduced the number of firewalls using the VSX cluster from Check Point. This reduced management overhead to a great extent. Also, the stability of clustered firewall helps us in meeting SLAs with clients.

Check Point firewalls can be tuned for one-off cases like allowing out-of-sync packets for a source-destination pair, which is a feature that helped us tackle application issues. 

We have deployed VPN firewalls in multiple data centers, which help with load sharing and redundancy for the VPN traffic.

Managing all of our user VPNs, customer VPNs, and Cloud VPN tunnels' endpoint encryption from a single management portal is helping us.

With Check Point, we achieved redundancy but the problem was three public IP addresses that were required to be configured as HA, with two physical IPs & one virtual IP.

Our previous firewall used a single public IP but now, with Check Point using three, it became very difficult for us to make available the same segment of public IP addresses from our ISP. After many support calls, however, we found a solution.

The other option which is helpful is that there are no limits for any objects used in the policy. Our previous firewall does support limited time objects & IP address objects.

This product has provided us the total control of our connections in our very bandwidth and session-intensive environment. It offers high capacity on NAT tables that, with other vendors, needed to use really huge devices to support.

We can control all of our international connections in a central point with a distributed cluster in a very easy way and with good performance.

The layer 7 features (AV, IPS, Web filtering, etc) and integrations with AWS provide us a clear point of management for future deployments on the cloud.

One of the benefits that we have realized from using this product is that the user interface makes it easier to operate, compared to using the CLI.  In Check Point 5.0, we bought the option, giving us the ability to use the GUI as well as the CLI. A person who is comfortable with the UI can work with it according to different scenarios.

This solution has improved the way our organization functions in multiple ways. For example, during the pandemic situation, things completely shifted. People who are working from the office are now working from home, and it is our responsibility, as network security engineers, to monitor the home users. We do not want them to access any blacklisted sites and we want to make sure that they are protected from threats and risks from the internet.

With the Office Mode VPN, it would not be possible to manage work from home because the security would not be in place. We have more granular security options with this firewall.

It has not only improved our environment but the entire organization. Adopting it brings better functionality.

Starting from the basic firewall blade to sandbox threat emulation and threat extraction, it works seamlessly to protect against both known and unknown malware.

After the version 80.xx migration, Check Point stability and security have improved tremendously.

Through the management server, it has become very easy to manage the configuration for each of the blades, as well as the day-to-day operations. With central management, it has become possible to manage endpoint devices as well.

Using this solution saves us time because nowadays, there are many malicious sites, as well as other threats and viruses on the internet. As it is now, we are not required to do anything because we have the antivirus and regular updates from Check Point. That is very helpful for us because when new viruses emerge, we just install the new signature and it works to protect us.

What used to take me seven days to do, now takes me only five. However, this is not just a time benefit because it better protects our environment as well. I estimate a 20% to 30% reduction in the number of attacks, compared to before.

Working for one of the largest companies, I found that using Check Point has made firewall provisioning very easy for us, and integration with the above-mentioned tools has eased the process of PCI audit, security compliance, and rule recertification.

In the past few years, we encountered attempted attacks on our company and we succeeded in finding that we were those attacks, or that some user or workstation was communicating with malicious sites. Without the Check Point Next Generation Firewall, we wouldn't have had the tools to identify these things and to remediate the problems.

It saves a lot of manpower. If we have centralized management, then we do not require as many members on our team. So, this is a cost saving feature. If there wasn't centralized management, we would need 30 members instead of 11 members for our team. 

There are a lot of features which help us in providing a more secure environment for our organization, such as when we have Active-Active.

One of our customers has just recently been attacked by malware and internal DoS attacks, and they have a multi-vendor, multi-layer firewall approach. The internal firewalls are Check Point. The great thing about Check Point is that because of its central architecture, you can very quickly pinpoint where the attacks are coming from. It gives you comprehensive reporting when the attacks start and when they've stopped, so you can see the complete, end-to-end picture: where the point of attack is, at what time, and what host. They can track all of that.

However, in parallel, that customer is using other firewalls which have no visibility. One of the main advantages of having Check Point firewall is definitely that it gives you absolute in-depth visibility.

The biggest thing is the central management. It is quite good and allows us to manage the different firewalls from it. We can implement and configure many firewalls and push our policies to them as well.

Our clients come to us to fix holes in their endpoint security management infrastructure, which might be letting things through like ransomware. We recommend Check Point Firewalls and some other endpoint security management solutions to mitigate these risk factors. We use this solutions to help build a perimeter for the company, as it helps filter threats from affecting our clients' infrastructure.

It provides a central station where it is very easy to deploy our firewall policy in one click to many firewalls. This is one of the leading perks. It saves time by having one central station because I can deploy the same kind of policy to many firewalls at once. 

With the latest release, it's easy to configure firewall rules with the scripting. This is one of the features that we have been demanding for some time so we can script some actions for automation.

High-capacity and high-capability devices help us to integrate with the cloud infrastructure as well as internet applications.

Over time, we've enabled different blades on the firewall. We started off with the access control policy, and since then we enabled the HTTPS inspection and the IPS blade. That's helped reduce our risk landscape as a whole.

The Check Point firewall is providing advanced-level security. Compared to before, our company is more secure now. It is not only securing the users working within the LAN environment, but also to the end-users or remote users in the company.

In advance, we get security vulnerabilities. So, we can configure new security policies, update our antivirus, or check the configuration to protect the environment.

Last year, we used the Check Point Identity Awareness Software Blade. Now, we only use a normal firewall with IP address rules, address destination, and services. Then, we can filter by users. So, my boss has access to these things by user. Even if it's connected with the Active Directory, we can filter by user name, or in this case by server name, and it works perfectly. This is very valuable for our company.

It secures my organization. With the application blade, I can make security as application based and the custom application is also very useful. With identity awareness blades we get insights on our local users who are accessing/passing through the respective rule as users.  We also use the DLP, IPS, and VPN features. We have multiple site to sites with our clients and it is very easy to configure and manage.

Everything can be managed from a single dashboard nowadays.

Since we upgraded to R.80 from our previous R.77 version, the activity of my team has improved a lot. We don't have to open multiple consoles or go to multiple nodes. Even though we are managing multiple solutions of Check Point, they feel similar to us now.

Our organization's primary need is to make information available and secure from an insider as well as outsider threats. Check Point NGFW can give you lots of security features on a single device that can be used as per the organization's need, you not need to procure separate security devices to strengthen the security. The organization also provides services like service providers so it becomes more critical to secure the IT environment and we believe Check Point NGFW family is meeting the requirement as per the expectation.

Check Point is able to satisfy almost any security tool for enterprise clients. This allows us to deploy complex changes from a single management interface, get better visibility, and significantly reduce operational complexity.

I have to emphasize the value of Diamond support here where most senior engineers can provide great support with any challenges. Thinking out of the box, sense of responsibility, professionalism and much more - such an attitude helps to provide resolution to any crisis in the shortest term

It has improved the security posture of the organization by implementing this solution.

Now we can add application signature in the same rule base & don't have to create a different policy for that.

Advanced networking and routing features - we use Proxy ARP to announced virtual IPs to ISP and bing domain names to it; BGP for dynamic routing over IPSec VPN tunnels to other environments, and Policy-Based Routing for connecting to two ISPs.

As we vendor, we deployed the Check Point firewall in many organizations and they are renewing its license as they trust the product and support.

Whatever feature they want is possible with Check Point and 80.20 later versions are coming in, that feature set was previously not available. Customers are satisfied. 

The overall security of the environment has been greatly improved by the Check Point NGFWs. Before implementing this solution we have to rely on the Cisco ACLs and Zone-Based firewall that we had configured on switches and routers, which in fact a simple stateful firewall, and currently not an efficient for protecting from advanced threats. The Check Point NGFWs brought up the security level with the help of the advanced software blades - we use Application Control, URL Filtering, IPS, Anti-Bot, and Antivirus. The setup was simple, and the performance is great - we have significant resources to expand the environment in the future without disabling any blades and thus maintaining the security on the same, high level.

Multilayered protection is provided thanks to Check Point. For instance, security is achieved both on the endpoint side, as well as the firewall side.

Another example is that we can prevent critical and high-risk applications from being reached through the internal network by utilizing the application blade.

All of the blades, except URL filtering, are in the same interface and provide big savings when leading the security operations.

The improvements to our business are easy to explain. It is faster, easy to use, and there are multiple capabilities all in one box. The best examples are the endpoint and anti-virus options.

The ability to add more firewalls and increase the capabilities, rather than remove the hardware, is an exceptional step forward. No competitor was able to compete with this. Not having to continually replace hardware year after year was a massive driver in the decision-making process. The throughput going up by 100% with each added device is exceptional.

We have been running Check Point for the last ten years and it protected our network, systems, and applications against the latest attack. Our organization is running 500 applications that are being protected.

The next-generation firewall will manage all of the traffic and prevent the latest & advanced threats from attackers. The latest operating systems R 80.20 is wonderfully designed and allows customers to manage everything with a single console.

The organization needed a tool that would provide various security functionalities in the organization, and so far, Check Point NGFW has helped them a lot. 

It has helped the company by applying access control policies and limiting access to third parties and only those who must enter the organization to use resources and applications. 

The application behaved very well with the current resources in the company network; it helped us to prevent several security holes found with web filtering and internal DDoS attacks. 

Check Point NGFW can quickly identify where the attacks are coming from, provide detailed and complete information on the attacks, and provide zero-day attacks in real-time.

Check Point Next-Generation Firewalls improved the security posture of our organization by detecting, analyzing, and blocking unwanted traffic. It blocks any malicious files, processes and URLs due to having deep packet inspection and monitoring. 

Check Point firewalls not only detects anything malicious against it's signatures rather it analyses and monitors all processes running on different machines to detect anything wrong and then block those processes or URLs. 

Log storage gives us insights when required. 

We have several data centers that are stretched. Our Check Point firewalls are used to filter north/south traffic.

With BGP on Gaia, when one of the clusters is unreacheable, the traffic is rerouted to another cluster. 

We also use VSX which is really a very good product for macrosegmentation.

The solution provides better stability and some interesting features such as the ease of throughput expansion (or we can say the load sharing).

The scalability helps to offload the high traffic volume during school time. It also enhances redundancy. 

The load sharing capabilities using ClusterXL is possible to switch over the cluster mode to load sharing or Maestro. I also appreciate how easy it is to scale this product.

It is also great that the Check Point community (CheckMates portal) has a lot of helpful guidance. It helps us to work better and ease to find unfamiliar configurations on the new features, it is great for larger organizations as well as very small ones.

The organization is more secure. These firewalls work as expected. We have a perimeter and network segmentation well defined and firewall features and blades like IPS, Identity awareness, antibot, antivirus, threat prevention, endpoint security, and DLP, all allow the organization to have most of the security components centralized which allows for easier maintenance and monitoring. 

In relation to the monitoring, Check Point has tools that allow the administrator to track the traffic, and identify threats, attacks, and also check the forensics to understand what happened in case of a breach and ensure it won't happen again.

Check Point firewall products include a lot of modules. Application Control, IPS, email security, mobile access, content awareness, URL filtering, antivirus, antibot, and DLP. Check Point meets our customer requirements at the perimeter with an all-in-one solution. 

For example, the IPS blade prevents attacks with updated signatures. URL filtering policy control customers users' internet activity. Antivirus and antibot blade controls malicious activity and files. Mobile access blades give customers to access their sites from anywhere securely.

I have always found that Check Point's fully integrated management provides significant improvements to organisations where I have deployed them. As management has always been integral in the Check Point deployment, all functionality and visibility is natively baked into the management platform, which provides a single point to configure and monitor every function. Alternative vendors have added centralized management functionality as a secondary feature and therefore have never been able to compete on this front.

Check Point NGFW is a stable and user-friendly solution. It has increased the security level and stability within our organization. With the ATP solution, it works and is fully competent. It can catch many zero-day attacks and it fits NGFW well,

In the office, Check Point Infinity is the only fully consolidated cybersecurity architecture that protects your business and IT infrastructure.

Integrating the most advanced threat prevention and consolidated management, the security gateway appliance is designed to prevent any cyber attack, reduce complexity, and lower costs.

Check Point gateways provide superior security beyond any Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW).

Best designed for network protection, these gateways are the best at preventing the fifth generation of cyber attacks.

Overall, for us, it improves the private cloud security and helps to prevent the spread of threats while consolidating visibility and management across our physical and virtual networks.

Check Point firewall products include a lot of modules including Application Control, IPS, Email security, Mobile access, Content Awareness, URL Filtering, Antivirus, Antibot, and DLP. 

Check Point meets our customers' requirements at the perimeter with an all-in-one solution. For example:

• The IPS blade prevents attacks with updated signatures.
• URL filtering policy control customers' users' internet activity.
• Antivirus and antibot blade controls malicious activity and files.
• Mobile access blades allow customers to access their sites from anywhere securely.

When we did not have SSO, we had problems related to attacks compromising our firewall. That has been mitigated. We have the traffic going through the firewall to the server, so those types of things have really improved. We are seeing less traffic going to the server. When there was direct access to it, there was more and more traffic going to our server. So it has improved our server performance.

Check Point has improved our organization in the following ways:

• Provides for central management over all of the Check Point gateways
• Maintains a changelog that shows which users have made changes
• Version control allows us to roll back a ruleset after, for example, a misconfiguration
• Offers very granular application control
• Allows for various internet permissions for various users
• Gives us very good logging, which is nice for troubleshooting because you can instantly which rule is affected for each action
• The cloud gateway (Check Point Capsule Cloud) ensures that users are getting the same internet permissions as they would if inside the company, no matter which internet connection they are using

With this firewall on the perimeter, we detect a lot of attacks with the IPS and the antivirus blades. With the SmartLog for our team that operates the solution, we have a very intuitive way of searching the logs and seeing events, when compared to other vendors that we also have. This is the biggest advantage of the Check Point compared to competitors.

We have a lot of Check Point firewalls and a lot of Fortinet firewalls. The biggest advantage of the Check Point for us is that daily operations are much easier. That includes working with policies, checking and searching logs, dragging objects on the policies and searching where objects are used. All of that is easier in the SmartConsole than doing it on a browser, as the competitors do.

It has good features for searching the firewall rules and it has drastically changed daily operations. It's very easy, even for novice users or newcomers, to operate and manage this device. It has improved our operations that way.

We have needed to install many third-party devices to provide major security to our organization. Because of Check Point and its many features, we do not require other third-party devices. We only require Check Point to provide the security.

We catch much more malware and spam with incoming traffic, and now we are more protected with our environment. For our customers, this is always a surprise, when we are running a pilot project - how mush malware and attacks we catch during the two weeks period. Check Point has a great report called "Security Check Up", that show these results on informative charts. In our region, our customers use primarily local solutions, that has no good security features inside. Check Point has a certification there, which allows them to work in our region and make the world safer. 

Checkpoint has provided Security to the entire data center. 

The biggest improvement is the central logging and management of all firewalls. Other IT-departments can get log-access and search for their own if there are missing rules or other issues.

Since we use Identity Awareness the solution becomes more flexible, as users no longer need static IPs. Especially for IT-users, who always need more rights, it was a big improvement.

Implementing Wi-Fi makes it nearly impossible to work without Identity Awareness. Unfortunately, we fought with some bugs in the IA-module, but we got them solved.

It has made our lives and working in the company a lot easier. We have a better overview of the logs and what happens with the traffic in our company. Which means that the search for the certain logs is easy, quick and smooth. The overview of the logs is also very good as it is very detailed. The installation is allot quicker as it was before what also helps us with the implementation of the firewall rules. The rule consolidation is also very important as we have more than 60 fw rule change requests per day.

We use Check Point NGFW for compliance. The initial request leads to secondary requests. By the time you have recognition, there is recollection. For the main service, it's collection.

Consolidated many of our DMZ services into one appliance, and it's easy to add IPS functionality on firewalls.

We have good support from Check Point. They always send us information about new products, new technologies, and new attacks worldwide. We are looking for endpoint protection and Check Point is one of the brands that could provide that technology to us.

We are a utility company, so we need efficient antivirus protocols. The firewall support is extremely important to our organization. Checkpoint helps us protect our company from outside threats.

We use it mainly for security and content control. Earlier, we could not block BitTorrent and other high bandwidth downloads from our firewall. After introducing this NGFW, we have improved our security posture, and now, have peace of mind. 

We had some security issues that WatchGuard could not resolve. Since installing Check Point, we have not had any troubles. We don't have any security problems anymore.

Also, as we are systems integrators, we could not offer only one brand to our customers. We had to expand to several solutions to enable customers to make their own decisions.

1. Enables us to meet compliance requirements.
2. It maintains our security posture.

It allows us to be a little bit more diverse in our hiring. We can hire people out in remote areas, that otherwise we wouldn't be able to because they'd have to come into the office without it.

Check Point enables us to secure all our networks by segregating the different areas of our network. It also allows us to view logs of all traffic crossing the various areas. Through the firewall, we can access logs and evidence of activity between our areas, whether within or from the data center to the Internet.

The platform helps our organization to save working hours.
