Cons
"For the next release, I would suggest considering features like enhanced threat intelligence integration.""We would like the solution to be more economical since it is not accessible to all clients.""CloudGuard for Application Security, like the other Check Point applications, has been presenting major latency problems when entering their administrative portal.""I have faced issues with the tool's blocking aspects. It is hard to open or block web services due to the multitude of cloud centers. I have to do the process manually at times. We have a bug which is hard to solve.""They need improved latency in the main window.""One of the big problems we found in Check Point, in general, is the support.""It doesn't detect user activity like some of its competitors. It's not a vulnerability, but it's a legitimate activity that it doesn't detect. It only detects vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.""A feature we'd like to see in the future is something that could protect against other attack vectors, with a focus on application protection."

More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Cons →

"We should get the logs from the solution, and it should communicate with the local DNS.""The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups.""We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version."
