We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Zscaler Cloud IPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Real-time protection has blocked most threats that could affect system operations."
"The solution is user-friendly and the interface is easy to configure."
"The autonomous threat prevention is very easy to use. The APIs and SmartConsole tool also work well."
"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 useful in helping to verify the threats where we can see the level of severity in order to be able to take action."
"User-friendly and easy to implement."
"What I like best about Check Point IPS is that it can prevent attacks. I also like that it has a log feature."
"Cloud IPS integration is seamless, and it uses a Zero Trust model. It also simplifies overall user access management."
"The initial setup is straightforward and easy in comparison with other solutions."
"The product's most valuable feature is complete SSL inspection."
"The best feature is that Zscaler allows for a separation between cloud applications and URL filtering. For example, under the cloud application segment, I can bypass Microsoft Office 365 without the need to add URLs manually. It's one click, so that's handy."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"There are a lot of false positives. I would like to see integration with some kind of network detection and response in order to make some automation on IPS configuration."
"Despite being a blade, this is expensive."
"Sometimes we had false positives where packages that were legitimate for us were blocked and we had to unblock them through exceptions."
"It is generally good, but improving the performance would be the one thing I'd take a look at right now."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"Support is the biggest area for improvement."
"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."
"There is no standalone IPS appliance available."
"There is always room for improvement."
"When it comes to scalability, the IPsec could be improved."
"We encounter issues sharing IP addresses with other companies using the software."
"They have given limited free access for a year. Instead, they should increase the file size and give limited free access for around two months. It will allow engineers to evaluate the product."
"We recently had a significant issue with Zscaler. I think they have too many customers and some of their connection edge nodes went down because there were too many requests. I think they aren't scaling enough to keep up with the demand in some areas. That's one thing they should improve."
