Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood.""Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point.""This product uses auto-learning and behavioral analysis to establish baselines for legitimate traffic, and automatically detects and blocks traffic behavior that does not conform.""As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously.""It can be deployed as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance, or as a cloud service.""Check Point detects and automatically mitigates attacks, which helps our organization protect our infrastructure.""One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS.""Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis."

"The managed service allows us to confidently rely on Nexusguard’s professional team to take relevant actions as and when required to make sure DDoS attacks are successfully mitigated, ensuring 100% uptime of our service.""Filters can be customized depending on the characteristics of the attack traffic. This feature has made it easier for Nexusguard's SOC team to further isolate any specific attack that can't be blocked by pre-configured mitigation.""The support team was helpful.""Cloud Diversion is another good feature packaged with the whole solution. When attack traffic is detected, Cloud Diversion triggers to automatically route our prefix to Nexusguard’s scrubbing center, ensuring that all attack traffic is dropped in the shortest time possible.""Based on the support received for implementation, I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten."

Cons
"It is an expensive tool for some companies.""Monitoring and reporting are the things that can be introduced in the future.""The solution should greatly improve its interface.""For a long time, there was no software version of R80.10 available for the Check Point DDoS Protector software appliances, and we had to stay on the quite outdated R77.30 version.""Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations.""The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer.""Check Point should develop a DDoS solution because they don't have one and we need to use another solution, in our case, Imperva. This is a problem because we need to have two firewalls. We would like to only have one solution because it would improve the management, we would have fewer incidents, and we wouldn't need to talk to more than one person for support.""It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk."

More Check Point DDoS Protector Cons →

"One thing that we would like to improve from them is to provide more training to SOC team for them to have a deep understanding of the solution so that they would always be ready to answer anything without the need to escalate queries to senior personnel.""The solution must provide features for the post-processing of the traffic type and the traffic quality.""One of the features that should be added to the next release is report generation. Currently, reports can be downloaded every month and are only available at the beginning of each month. It would be nice to generate the reports based on specific dates that we prefer and not have to wait until the next month for the current month’s report.""There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned...In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution.""The mitigation scope of Origin Protection is not fully efficient as there could be delays in activating the countermeasures."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's an expensive solution. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the world. It's cheaper than Palo Alto and Cisco but these are expensive solutions. Fortinet is cheaper."
  • "The appliance comes with a loaded hardware license, and additional options such as SSL can be purchased and enabled."
  • "I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the DDoS database for new attacks and so on."
  • More Check Point DDoS Protector Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one represents a cheap option, and ten represents an expensive option, I would rate the solution a seven in terms of cost."
