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.

It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities
Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Pros

"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."
"The SSL VPN monitoring based on users and tunnel monitoring are great value-added features present in the management console."
"It's a great solution for management. We can manage a lot at the same time with one security management system. Also, each gateway depends on the other, which is helpful."
"The solution is ideal for use and deployment in a large infrastructure environment."
"Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time."
"This solution is used to validate the firewalls, and it performs this function very well."
"The firewall's blades are the solution's most valuable feature."
"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."
"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."
 

Cons

"You need some technical expertise to use the solution. I don't think it's accessible to the typical end-user. You need to access the box and use some command lines or the web interface. It would be nice to have a user-friendly dashboard and comprehensive reporting."
"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."
"We sometimes have trouble with the performance of the solution. Maybe some performance tuning options could be added in a future release. There should be more visibility about which blade in your firewall is causing the latency."
"As it stands, performing a smart view monitor will still open the old R77 SmartView monitor session, which is a bit flaky and slow."
"There's a lot of logs, and I'm unsure about their validity, however, they take up a lot of space. We had to provision the virtual machine twice."
"Check Point Security Management can be improved because for smaller organizations with only a single or a couple of devices, there is no need for the management. They are required to use the management system, which increases costs for smaller organizations."
"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."
"I would like the ability to have an overview, cross-site: One portal that does all firewalls. Also, the user interface is overly complicated."
"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
