Featured Reviews

EO
Acsys support Desk. at American Tower
Access monitoring and reporting optimize site security
In Axis Security, the most valuable feature is the ability to generate reports on who accessed a site at a particular time, specifically the entry and exit reports. It's important for analyzing incidents and understanding log-ins and log-outs. Another feature is the ability to blacklist a key if used improperly, preventing unauthorized access to sites.
KT
Senior Security Consultant at Orange Cyberdefense
Has improved threat visibility and centralized management but needs wider feature support
We have not worked much with granular control over web usage policies, so I cannot provide detailed feedback. We have not worked with the effectiveness of the multi-layered defense approach in threat prevention. Their product coverage is not as extensive as some competitors. They have fewer products and features compared to competitors. Support for operational technology (OT) is not as comprehensive in Check Point Web Gateway as it is in competing products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The way the access connectors work is valuable."
"The entire suite and the entire ZTNA process are very valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is its ability to restrict unauthorized access, ensuring that only approved devices can connect to the network. T"
"I rate Axis Security ten out of ten."
"The most valuable part so far has been Axis Security's ability to create identity connections to various servers, allowing users to access them. By doing so, we've managed to replace any old or existing VPN access with Axis Security. We are slowly but surely getting rid of our traditional VPN."
"I would give it an A-plus for securing access to our applications, devices, and network. It does an extremely good job. Our security folks have analyzed it and tried to find loopholes, but they found none."
"The interface is simply amazing; it is really user-friendly and it has improved our organization a lot."
"I think this solution is very helpful to our customers because its cloud-based security can be deployed quickly and maintained easily."
"The best thing about Check Point Web Gateway is the usability and the GUI."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the HTTPS inspection mechanism, application control, and URL filtering."
"We have required technical support quite a few times, and it has been very forthcoming from Check Point."
"SmartConsole is intuitive."
"The stability of the tool is very good."
"Check Point Web Gateway is a reliable and stable solution."
 

Cons

"I would appreciate more automated learning capabilities or increased integration with other security tools, allowing us to establish automation."
"I would like more detailed logging in the Axis Security interface."
"They need to improve the networking and security tools a little in the troubleshooting and 'bad-actor' areas to help us analyze security threats a little better. They have some things built-in, but I would like to see more advanced tools."
"There should be a notification alarm with geofencing."
"The support team should be more skilled in offering assistance."
"I would like more statistics about what's going on in terms of usage. There is little-to-no usage reporting. That's one thing we've requested, and I think they're working on it."
"Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function."
"Perhaps the latency in the administrative part of the portal would be a point of improvement."
"The solution should improve integration."
"Deployment issues on Linux have been noted, especially with agents on endpoints."
"There is room for improvement in support because the solution needs multiple regions to reach certain features and validations."
"Some documents needed to implement with the best practices are difficult to understand, take longer than expected to apply, and sometimes even require support."
"This program is very, very expensive."
"There should be an improvement in interface integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite fair. It's better than what we gave up, which was Cisco AnyConnect."
"The pricing is very competitive from what I've seen."
"The price is on the higher side, even when compared to Azure Firewall Premium."
"Our customers pay a licensing fee annually or once in three or five years, per their requirements."
"The price is very high."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven out of ten."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product. The product is neither too expensive nor too cheap, so it comes at a good price point for my company."
"The product is not cheap. It is expensive."
"This program is very, very expensive."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on a yearly basis. You need to do the support subscription."
