We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard Network Security and Juniper Mist Edge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SSL/TLS traffic inspection features are used for advanced threat prevention against secure SSL traffic."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration with the cloud management extension and the cloud licensing model."
"This solution brings us closer to having a better security score, which helps us a lot in complying with information regulations based on security."
"Some retail customers find the scale-up and scale-down features valuable, particularly with scale sets. This is useful for handling increased loads on devices and utilizing firewalls, similar to on-premises setups with active standby configurations."
"The security configuration features have enhanced the reliable coordination of programs and data safety."
"The solution is reliable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can start off with a simple firewall and expand it to UTM."
"The easy management of the policies is great for us because we are a small team and having easy management is great and useful for us."
"The most valuable aspect of Mist Edge lies in its ability to provide comprehensive visibility into all network packets."
"The visibility of the information that's available about APs through their cloud portal and some of the AI features are most valuable."
"The convergence time between cluster members is still not perfect. It's far away from what we get in traditional appliances. If a company wants to move mission-critical applications for an environment to the cloud, it somehow has to accept that it could have downtime of up to 40 seconds, until cluster members switch virtual IP addresses between themselves and start accepting the traffic. That is a little bit too high in my opinion. It's not fully Check Point's fault, because it's a hybrid mechanism with AWS. The blame is 50/50."
"The threat scanning system should categorize the level of threats to enhance reliable data interpretation."
"A threat categorization system can be added to give users the authority to define vulnerable attacks and classify areas that can threaten the workflow system."
"We miss full blade support for all blades that are compatible with the cluster. Especially notable is the lack of support for Identity Awareness in active standby environments for customers. In our setup, transitioning to Connective clusters would be preferable for maintaining connections during failover situations."
"We faced issues while upgrading our CloudGuard Network Gateway. When we tried to use the template that Check Point offers on their site, it was not available for the second to the latest version, so I was forced to upgrade my management server. That was very challenging for us."
"Most clients nowadays tend to move to the cloud and their data security is key. If CloudGuard could be able to give the client that full visibility of how their data is protected on the cloud, then that would be a great selling point for Check Point."
"Greater automation would reduce the need for manual configuration and management."
"The connection to the on-premises management requires using the CLI. It's not just a click, and you cannot edit in the management to prepare everything. You need to do it online and in real time. After that, you must execute a script, and then you should be happy that it appears in the management."
"The one area that we're specifically looking into is their outdoor APs. The development of their outdoor APs is lagging as compared to their internal APs."
"I would like to see improvements in ensuring government compliance for Mist Edge."
