"Check Point Intrusion Prevention System has great profiles, and we can continuously create, modify, activate, deactivate or configure any specific setting to allow the profile to focus on just one thing or for certain attacks."
"I like ExtremeCloud IQ's unified single-pane-of-glass dashboard. It offers a lot of visibility of performance, and it's great for troubleshooting. You don't have to go to 55 different places. You can get the information you need with just a few clicks."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility."
"Extreme is transitioning to 802.11ax facilities running the 2G and the 5G cloud, allowing for higher density in education use cases, and ExtremeCloud IQ provides you with novel ways to manage everything.

"It would be good to update the public documentation of Check Point so that we can generate improvements and best practices based on the documentation."
"When exceptions need to be done for certain profiles, it is easy to get them done, however, implementation on some general ones may cause some extra work as the IPS is not easy to overwrite."
"It is generally good, but improving the performance would be the one thing I'd take a look at right now."
"Check Point IPS' main problem is it is mostly software based. The performance is dependent on the CPU power, and the limited number of patterns."
"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"I am not aware of a preview channel or some repository to have a preview on upcoming signatures, however, this would be nice to have."
"The solution’s deployment could be easier."
"The area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required consist of support availability."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"The certification costs from suppliers are getting out of control, and it's not just Extreme. We have the same problem with Cisco and Huawei."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."
"Pricing is a bit expensive."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
