Check Point Security Management Reviews

I use it for managing ten clusters in our on-premise environment. With this kind of management, it's possible to question its policy and change many configurations in the files. With its management, we got all the logs from the environment. With Check Point Security Management, we get the benefits of deploying the configuration.

Owing to the availability of many kinds of incidents, I can say that the solution has served to improve my organization.

Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time. It is a perfect solution for me.

From the Check Point Security Management solution, it's possible to get the situation of my clusters. I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents. Hence, the visibility of incidents is an area where I want the solution to improve.

I have been using Check Point Security Management since 2005, so I have used it for maybe twenty years. Also, I am using Check Point Security Management E84.20.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The solution's technical support is very good. Hence, I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

The solution's initial setup was easy.

It took a year to see a return on investment. I did experience a return on investment using the solution.

Price-wise, it is an expensive solution.

I recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I rate the overall product between nine to ten out of ten.

Thanks to the new Check Point management, we were able to manage our environments decentrally with a server or from the Check Point Infinity Portal. This management is handled separately and provides greater ease of implementation and backups. You can have your gateways separated from the control server. You can even lose the management server, and easily, with a previous backup, you can restore all the policies that had been generated so that you never lose the operation of the GW.

Our Check Point implementations are quite important in our environment. With them, we were able to shield our infrastructure from modern vulnerabilities.

The separate management provides greater security and peace of mind. In the face of events in which we can lose communication with the management server, the operation of the Check Point gateways continues unaffected.

We also like the ease and intuitiveness of the management server since it allows you to generate policies in a straightforward way. Its logs and monitoring provide the necessary information so that those responsible for security can make decisions and improve security even more.

The control is intuitive, it's an excellent tool.

The monitoring is excellent. It helps a lot in making decisions.

Finally, the additional tools or blades implemented in this console are great. You can go from basic security implementation to a fairly advanced one with all the blades you have available.

The separate environment of the Check Point gateways is one of the most important features. The separate management allows for the continued use of the gateways.

As for the support, it is not the best. 

The hours are different from those in America. They generally respond to us at dawn. They are not as fast or efficient, and they could improve in this area.

Every manufacturer must have enough documentation for client implementations and proof of concept. However, Check Point has many outdated manuals. These should be simpler for users and help them to manage their environments with the best practices.

They should improve the ease of licensing.

We've used the solution for more than three years. We started using Check Point Security Management and have had very good results in a manufacturer's architecture with excellent performance.

Previously, we had WatchGuard to provide security. However, it does not meet the parameters required for our organization.

It is important to value the support of a Check Point partner to validate the tools, in addition to seeing the product more closely.

We researched to find the security tool that best suits our requirements.

For us, there are more benefits than failures; it really is an exceptional tool, and I recommend it.

I am using Check Point to secure my home office because I'm doing all my work from home. 

The company uses software called Harmony. Check Point integrates nicely, whether on an endpoint or mobile device. It integrates well with the firewall and can give me reports that I can check without going to an online portal.

You need some technical expertise to use the solution. I don't think it's accessible to the typical end-user. You need to access the box and use some command lines or the web interface. It would be nice to have a user-friendly dashboard and comprehensive reporting. 

I started using Check Point last year.

I contacted Check Point because the device wasn't logging into the portal to download the license I purchased. It took them about three days to answer.

I was using Untangled and switched to Sophos. I decided after a year that Sophos wasn't for me, so I tried Check Point. 

It took me about two hours to do the initial installation, but the total deployment took a day. I did it myself and found it somewhat complicated. You need to know what you're doing. Check Point doesn't provide enough guidance and assumes you know everything. 

I pay for a yearly license, but you have the option of a three-year or a five-year license. 

I rate Check Point Security Management seven out of 10. I recommend it if you're a technical person experienced in WFM security devices.

We needed a solution that would be in the cloud or on-premise, that would centralize the equipment, and that would help us comprehensively manage each of the appliances that we were going to place in the four branches that we manage. Starting from that premise, we started with Check Point Security Management being the number one solution as it was pioneering in managing multiple computers simultaneously. This tool helped us to be more efficient and better at controlling risk with our hybrid cloud.

Starting from the need for our teams to be in the cloud and on-premises data centers, we decided on centrally securing and managing all these environments, making them easier, and more user-friendly, and their policy configuration, management of blades in the appliances, and management completely remote. 

Among its value, we can say that it helps us administrators have less administrative management burden in each appliance that must be configured and managed. Another fact is that its version can be on-premise or cloud and this cloud version helps us lower costs.

Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it. 

Among its advantages and features that add value is managing teams both on-premise and in the cloud, regardless of the type of cloud. It helps to have and use a solution that adapts to environments and is easy to manage and configure. 

Among the things that I would like in the future is for the solution to have its application on Android and iOS, as many of the administrators have adopted remote administration positions due to what has happened since the pandemic. This would help us to have an easier and simpler administration. I believe that these mobile solutions are part of the technological evolution and the promising future that new technologies bring us; this will help us with future innovation and management.

I've used the solution for one year. 

In recent years, management was to have an additional server in our data center or virtual machine that demanded resources locally. Today we have the possibility to have virtual teams in the cloud or on-premise and do not have the need to create that machine. We take that server to the Check Point cloud as a management cloud where we can have each subscription and be able to manage everything with the same account. It allows you to manage from anywhere and makes it easier for you to manage additional teams.

Check Point management is one of the most complete solutions for managing Check Point Firewall appliances. 

Since it is so powerful, we can manage more than one appliance with this same tool and create policies per appliance, and integrate different branches. 

One of the great benefits is being able to centralize all our branches under a single management server, thus being able to manage each of the created policy layers from a single place.

Among the most valuable features is the ability to manage everything simultaneously. It can integrate with the Check Point Infinity Cloud. 

The costs of acquiring a server for this task is of value. Each of us who are administrators can continuously manage the security of companies. This management manages not only Firewall-type appliances but also Cloudguard IaaS-type appliances.

I would like this solution to be integrated directly into the Cluster XL equipment. We'd like something that is all in one. The implementation becomes quite complex due to the extensive and not very graphic guides that we can find on their portal. 

I've used the solution for two years. 

It is very stable. You can have it in high availability services.

The scalability is fast and easy.

We previously used Fortinet as a firewall and management solution.

The cost of having cloud management lowers the monthly bill. That must be considered when acquiring these solutions.

We deployed the Check Point firewall for protecting our web servers and intranet servers. We used a management server as a centralized device for Check Point Gateway firewalls.

The best aspect about the notion is that we can push policy, IPs, or any other functionality to all or a subset of gateways. Alternatively, creating a distinct tab for each gateway gives a clear idea of the configuration changes and makes them less complicated.

Check Point's solution cuts down on the time it takes to manage multiple firewall devices.

Our organization has faced multiple attackers daily which causes high-impact performance, even though the previous firewall blocks. This leads to an impact on customer satisfaction with our services.

However, after deploying Check Point firewalls in our organization we found drastic changes in the performance of our network   

The management server helps us to reduce the time to manage multiple firewalls.

It's easy to push configuration changes to each of the gateways.

We can track logs of each firewall which is very helpful.

The importance of centralized administration cannot be overstated. As a network security engineer, I must mention that it allows us to manage all of our Check Point devices from a centralized point. 

Although there is certainly room for improvement in the UI, I am pleased that Check Point continues to correct and enhance. 

Furthermore, they provide some new features that will revolutionize security administration.

Initially, I was not a huge fan of Check Point's SmartConsole; I'm not sure why; perhaps it was because I was used to using only the web interface in other vendor firewalls like Palo Alto, Fortigate, and so on.

Now that I've tried it, I have to say that it's the greatest way to handle firewalls. There are some flaws, however, Check Point is working to correct them with each version.

They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion.

Aside from that, I'm satisfied with Check Point solutions.

I've used the solution for two years.
