We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and IBM Security Network IPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."I can generate reports for management automatically based on the threats of the last day/week/whatever is needed."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"The reports are useful in helping to verify the threats where we can see the level of severity in order to be able to take action."
"The notifications are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"IPS signatures can be set quite granularly depending on your environment. You can filter on performance impact, severity, and confidence which makes sizing and adapting easier."
"The reports are well written so that you can understand what type of attack has occurred, the originating IP address, and other details."
"It protects against specific known exploits but also, with SandBlast integration, it is able to protect against unknown or zero-day attacks at the perimeter level."
"What I like best about Check Point IPS is that it can prevent attacks. I also like that it has a log feature."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"What I would like to improve in IPS would be the capacity of the hardware. I would also like to be able to sort signatures by severity. This would greatly impact how well I can manage my environment."
"Occasionally there are glitches and errors like false positives, which would be a nice area of this solution to improve upon."
"There is an issue with precision."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"Having additional reports available would be helpful."
"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."
"The solution needs enhanced reporting. The reporting on Cisco Stealthwatch and Darktrace is much bigger. The visibility that they grant for the filtering capabilities over large infrastructures are far superior."
"The only thing they could maybe improve is that we notice right away that the performance decreases when we enable the IPS, especially beyond the CPU and memory usage. If you want to enable the IPS and you have a lot of traffic, it can have an impact. The performance could be improved."
"I'd like to see more integration with other tools and technologies."
"In the future, I would like to see a hybrid option so that we can work both on-premises and in the cloud."
