"We get analysis and can take into consideration the critical alerts found at any time. This gives us security and stability.""The reports it shares with the IT team provide the feedback necessary to see what needs to change and what needs to continue to be done.""It was easily configured and offered one more layer of security in our environment as the monitoring provided by the dashboard is very complete.""We have not seen a security capacity equal to that of Check Point in other manufacturers.""Advanced threat intelligence reports have enabled each department to coordinate roles and put security measures in place.""The most outstanding characteristic that we can see is having something in place that allows any network administrator to apply security policies throughout the company's network.""This tool helps validate threats at a global level."

Cons
"As a church, we don't employ a typical IT person, so it would help if they could set up a more user-friendly layman's type of profile and settings, where everything is simplified into layman's terms. For example, it could say, "Turn internet speed up for guest use," or "Turn it down," or "Turn it off," or "Reset it."""As a new customer opening our first worship center, I would have liked for Astound to provide examples of products other churches use."

More Astound Managed SD-WAN Cons →

"The next release should have threat indicators that categorize various types of threats and their immediate solution.""I would like for the service to be a little more accessible for all segments.""We want better customization.""At the level of communication through the Check Point Infinity Portal, sometimes the session is closed automatically.""Sometimes we can see the documentation and follow its instructions to apply a new rule or policy, and sometimes we don't get the expected result by following them.""One of the great improvements that must be improved is the support for end users.""The documentation for the most modern applications of the manufacturer is sometimes not well done or complete."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Financially, it was a big jump. We went from just shy of a couple of hundred bucks a month to close to $1,200. It's an expense that, although it's significantly higher than what we were paying, is worth it."
