We performed a comparison between Check Point NGFW and Huawei NGFW based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"The most important features of Fortinet FortiGate are the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and firewall control applications."
"From the firewall perspective, the rules and policies are very sufficient and easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiGate is a scalable solution."
"We use a lot of function on the IPS and it works well for us."
"The tool is a nice product and easy to handle. The software's user interface is also good. You can easily implement remote access in the solution."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"It's user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Check Point provides dedicated blades to monitor network traffic, which helps while troubleshooting network and packet-related issues."
"The different hardware models focus on a wide spectrum of the market, so any company can choose a model that makes sense for them from the range."
"Check Point's Quantum helps our clients in their overall cybersecurity practice."
"The solution is easy to use. I like the monitoring the most."
"One of the valuable characteristics of Check Point NGFW is that it presents very centralized management."
"Check Point firewalls have significantly improved our ability to detect and prevent threats."
"The firewalling feature and the VPN functionality are excellent."
"The Network Address Translation (NAT) will always be a valuable feature as it allows me to turn my private cloud to the public at the click of a button and have secure control over the accessible servers/applications."
"We make use of the new data center, specifically the containerized data center which is built and reviewed by Huawei, including all the device's infrastructure."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most useful feature is the performance of the firewalls and networking operations."
"The tool helps us to integrate with other brands."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"The mapping features and traffic logging are good."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus features, strong encryption, policy implementation and easier installation."
"We have found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"The support from Fortinet FortiGate could improve. They are not easily accessible when we need them. They could improve their response time."
"I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard and UI, as well as to the reporting."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see the interface simplified to be more user-friendly."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"I feel that the reporting needs to be improved."
"I would like some automated custom reporting."
"Vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"The firewall can improved to make it more user-friendly."
"Check Point can scale but at times we have experienced some issues."
"They could make the licensing a bit easier to deal with, especially for enterprise-level options."
"The virtual environment is not stable at all. We have some customers who are using the virtual environment feature, and sometimes it crashes. We have many tickets open and the response is not as good as expected. We have to wait months for a resolution."
"I feel the only thing that I see as a possible improvement in Check Point software is the lack of ability to create "static discard routes" which makes it difficult for NAT ranges to be advertised via BGP to neighbors."
"It would help if they were easier to deploy, without needing more technical people. It would be nice if we could just give basic information, how to connect, and that would be all, while the rest of the setup could be done remotely."
"The virtual infrastructure of the central management requires a huge amount of resources to work properly and manage all the logs without problems."
"Check Point is not a cheap solution and it's always painful to see exactly how much we need to spend on this."
"One issue is integration. Huawei can't detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC). I can get a lot of information about security, but can't automatically input the EP, domain URL, and file hashes I get from Hackersworld into my blocklist."
"The solution doesn't seem to be very mature. Our networking team says they are experiencing a lot of issues in the firewalls and some routers."
"The solution is scalable but it is difficult because you need to purchase new systems, it is not just one click."
"The solution isn't cheap. It's market price."
"Wi-Fi scanning and Wi-Fi analysis would be useful features to include in the future."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The documentation needs to be improved. When they retire old models, they also retire the documentation. However, if you are still using an older model, you still need access to that documentation. And yet, they go ahead and removed it. It's gone. You are therefore stuck with a device with no documentation and technical support that isn't very helpful as they also remove support assistance as well."
"There needs to be more security equipment for the solution."
