Enhanced Internal Security and Efficiency
Check Point Security Management can be improved by addressing a negative challenge I face: sometimes it does not show internet utilization in the GUI. When I ask support, they tell me to upgrade the firmware, which happens quite frequently. Since I deployed the device in my on-premises environment 1.5 years ago, I have experienced this issue three times. Check Point Security Management has not impacted my daily work or decision-making in any negative way. As an IT person, I occasionally need to check how much internet bandwidth has been used in the internal network over the past month, day, or week. During those times, when I open the data utilization column, it shows nothing available. Each time this happens, I need to upgrade to the latest version of the firmware, and this frequent updating affects my productivity negatively. If Check Point addresses this issue in the future, it will be beneficial for all customers using Check Point SMBs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very easy for management to understand workflow and everything."
"One of the most outstanding characteristics of its centralized administration is its great computing power."
"It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering."
"We are now able to monitor the different VPN communities in real-time."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"The support is pretty incredible. Check Point has support rep programs that go all the way up to putting one of their own people in your business to help you. Then, they have support programs. If you're an expert, you just need to be able to download updated files and stuff. They have support programs like that, too."
"The unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"It offers numerous features and blades, including intrusion prevention (IPS) and malware detection. It excels in network security and VPN capabilities, including IPSec VPNs. IPS is particularly powerful due to its signature-based detection, which automatically checks for and identifies malicious software."
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."
 

Cons

"If the SmartView monitor can be integrated in the R80.40 and R81 versions, that would be ideal in understanding the trends and graphs of how traffic is observed hitting the different Check Point Firewall Gateways that the Security Management controls."
"Policy installation time can be reduced."
"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."
"Being a security appliance, there should be the ability for the Security Management server to send email alerts via authenticated email."
"While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory."
"The web administration tool that allows administration in the browser must be developed even more."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"It could improve by showing DNS-specific information for connections to unknown public IPs."
"​It needs to have better reporting. ​"
"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"Do a PoC. Make it detailed so it can help later."
