We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and Logz.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is good when it comes to access control, which is the basic feature that we use in a firewall appliance or solution. Check Point is effective when it comes to security control and threat prevention."
"The unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"The additional features offered by the solution are excellent. We didn't have a lot fo these on a previous solution, and they've proven to be an advantage for us."
"The cluster solution made our job easier any fault to the device will not halt entire internet connectivity."
"The firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance."
"The most valuable feature for me is Identity Awareness."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"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)."
"The upgrade procedure already made huge improvements, yet it remains more challenging compared to other products."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"Some of the configuration elements could be improved."
"Sometimes the security system slows down when it is overloaded."
"I like that the Compliance software blade is available for free with the Security Management server purchase, but it is free for only one year - after that you have to buy an additional license to continue using it. I think such an important feature is vital for the management server, and should not be licensed separately."
"The application filtering and URL filtering could be better."
"The graphical interface is nice but it is a bit heavy."
"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
