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.

A tool that offers features like SOAR and UBA, along with an out-of-the-box connector for users
LogRhythm Axon has come up with the AI cloud concept in the market. When it comes to the AI cloud concept, you need to consider that every region has differences when it comes to data sovereignty. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon was based on real-time AI and ML concepts, along with analytics parts that were carried out. The AI cloud concept from LogRhythm Axon is not something that is available in India, so I want it to be introduced in India soon with data sovereignty compliance in place. LogRhythm should focus more on Axon and its cloud platform, which can be helpful in the future to compete with players like Sentinel and Splunk, which currently offer cloud models to users. With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature Check Point Security Management offers is the GUI, which shows everything in different categories such as mobile phones, connected devices, laptops, and desktops, making it easy to understand what is connected to what."
"First of all, centralized management is great."
"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"I find very useful the central view offered by Check Point Security Management, as you're able to have all your gateways and policy and different policy packages."
"Check Point Security Management has positively impacted our organization by streamlining different policy management in a single console, and incident response has also become faster because all alerts and logs feed into one security tool or management tool, giving us immediate visibility without needing to switch between tools."
"This solution is used to validate the firewalls, and it performs this function very well."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"Real-time monitoring helps me solve issues, for example, when I have a problem with the VPN; I need to view different traffic and identify different calls about the problem, or when I need to view when I have different user a problem with into others networks or something else."
"Scalability-wise, LogRhythm Axon is a good product."
"The fact that your investigations can be saved into a single query string that you can copy and share with your teammates is going to be a game changer."
"The search feature within Axon is pretty robust; it's actually very fast in comparison to the previous platform and is going to exponentially help the investigation times for the SOC analysts and for just pulling logs and getting data."
"For me, the most valuable feature of LogRhythm AXON is the log parsing technology it has. With my company, I'm the current policy builder, so not having to know an archaic, cryptic format and being able to visually grab a log and assign an element to a particular meta tag quickly and easily and being able to run tests on that have been super useful. It's going to revolutionize the way the logs are identified and classified."
 

Cons

"This solution is stable, although there is some room for improvement."
"We'd like to see more and more integration possibilities between Checkpoint and other vendor security solutions such as Malwarebytes, SIEM solution providers, and standalone vulnerability scanners."
"Check Point Security Management has experienced some reliability issues, but it depends on VM, appliance, and any other implementation."
"They could offer educational courses to help individuals improve their knowledge and skills."
"Check Point Security Management can be improved; the recent R82 version is AI-enabled with increased security but I have encountered issues during upgrades, requiring backups to prevent potential disasters."
"The graphical interface is nice but it is a bit heavy."
"Also, the cost of the license is too high, it's too expensive."
"Check Point Security Management could be improved with better reporting and dashboard customization options, as having more tailored insights for different stakeholders would enhance visibility, but this is a minor concern."
"With LogRhythm Axon, stability and support are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I'd give technical support a five out of ten. There are definitely areas that they can improve upon, and faster response times would be wonderful, and having more knowledgeable staff who provide the support would also be great."
"It's a very beta solution right now, and there are so many features that we would like to see added in, such as integration with Active Directory, which is essential for user management and for streamlining that process significantly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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