Simplified threat detection and reduced policy deployment time
The standout features of Check Point Security Management are unified policy management, real-time visibility, and automation capabilities, making it a powerful tool for security management. Consistency across environments with Check Point Security Management helps me ensure that instead of maintaining separate rules for firewalls, cloud workloads, and data centers, we apply one unified policy that covers them all. This reduces misconfigurations and ensures compliance, proving to be a time-saver because rolling out a new rule or updating an existing one takes minutes, not hours, because it is propagated everywhere automatically. Automation is one of the most valuable aspects of Check Point Security Management, and it often does not get enough attention compared to headline features like unified policies or visibility. With policy automation, routine tasks such as rule creation, compliance checks, or policy updates can be automated, reducing human error and saving hours of manual work. Check Point Security Management has simplified administration in my organization because instead of juggling multiple consoles, everything is managed from a single pane of glass. This has reduced complexity and saved significant time for our IT team, improving our operational efficiency. For a policy update, I used to spend two or three hours across multiple consoles. Now, with unified management in Check Point Security Management, it takes thirty to forty minutes, resulting in about a seventy percent reduction in effort, greatly boosting productivity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The interface also makes it easy for us to configure the VPN from the GUI rather than the command line, which makes it easy even for less experienced engineers to work with."
"It has a central management log server that helps us to easily identify faults and issues in the environment, especially during outages and incidents during the implementation of policy rules."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"Check Point Security Management has positively impacted my organization by providing centralized control, allowing us to manage all security policies and gateways from a single console, reducing complexity and saving time, and by enabling faster policy updates, which allowed quicker roll-out of rule changes across multiple sites, improving agility and reducing configuration errors."
"The intuitive interface also allows new team members to adapt to the technology if they are not familiar with it initially. It doesn't take much for one to familiarize themselves with the product."
"This solution is easy to install and deploy. It is also user-friendly."
"It has allowed global worldwide access to our cloud infrastructure."
"Check Point Security Management has simplified administration in my organization because instead of juggling multiple consoles, everything is managed from a single pane of glass, which has reduced complexity and saved significant time for our IT team, improving our operational efficiency."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox."
"We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable."
"Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation."
"Threat Intelligence is very stable."
"The cost of the solution versus the cost of an incident that may have been prevented with it shows a very high ROI."
"The totality of the recordings is quite important. The networks, the new threat actors, the new methods, tactics, techniques, and procedures."
"The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."
 

Cons

"TAC is very supportive but we face many issues with this product."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive. There are better firewalls on the market now that are cheaper and provide better functionality and security."
"The reporting should be improved in future releases. It needs to be very explicit. This is very important."
"At least once a day, the application crashes with some random error message. Then you have to close it out and open it up again."
"Check Point Security Management could be improved by enhancing the documentation, as Check Point needs to create more and easier documentation."
"I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents."
"The management API can be further developed so that all functions offered by the dashboard are also available via the API (for example, Network Topology)."
"We are not sure if there is a centralized security console available. It would be beneficial if all firewalls could be integrated under one management console."
"As the landscape evolves, they could provide a little more detail or specificity to map it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions."
"Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved."
"The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions."
"The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
