We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and Splunk Cloud Platform 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."The reporting system provides real-time insights into the security situation and shows measures that can be taken to protect our data."
"It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering."
"The company uses software called Harmony. Check Point integrates nicely, whether on an endpoint or mobile device. It integrates well with the firewall and can give me reports that I can check without going to an online portal."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Security Management is the high level of visibility"
"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."
"This solution is easy to install and deploy. It is also user-friendly."
"The most beneficial features for us are the alert classifications, which help us prioritize critical issues, and the detailed reports that provide insights into attack origins and purposes, such as TLS violations or content violations."
"Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it."
"I can trace an event back to its root cause. I can find the root cause instead of just looking at the symptoms across different things."
"The Splunk Cloud Platform has reduced our mean time to resolve. It has easily saved 20 to 30 minutes every time someone gets locked out. We get 10 or 15 instances per day where people get locked out. It definitely saves a few hours per day."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's search modes are a powerful feature."
"We haven't had any limitations or problems connecting to our network devices."
"Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration."
"Not having to manage Splunk Cloud's infrastructure is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud Platform is the alerting feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I would like the ability to have an overview, cross-site: One portal that does all firewalls. Also, the user interface is overly complicated."
"Sometimes the security system slows down when it is overloaded."
"In my experience, the place they can improve the most is in the technical support where I have had some serious problems that could not be solved in time due to a lack of knowledge of the assigned engineer."
"Troubleshooting is quite complicated within multi-domain management. If an issue arises, the local administrator has to keep in mind that there are other domains that could be also affected."
"Support is the main area that they need to improve. Our support experience is not very smooth. We are based in Africa, and we don't know whether it is because of our region. I would like a feature where there is a workflow to provide authorization to some users before they're able to create and apply rules. Such a feature should be integrated with the management. It should not be in the box that comes with it."
"I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents."
"Some costs are ridiculously high."
"Even though the platform is simple, and creating security policies is a fairly quick task, creating a bulk of policies at once (ie. for a migration) could be a useful tool. This is probably possible through scripting, however, having an easy-to-use "import CSV" button would be beneficial."
"They can streamline the process of creating custom apps."
"Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved."
"The Splunk interface is on-premises, so we have limited access to Splunk Cloud. Splunk support is not so good on Splunk Cloud. The Splunk side of the Splunk Cloud should also be more customizable. Integrating Splunk UBA, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk Cloud is also a bit difficult."
"There is sometimes no documentation or updated documentation available."
"They can offer more self-service capability to their customers. Currently, most of the things happen behind the Splunk Cloud Platform. As a customer, I do not have an opportunity to see my platform. If they can offer more self-service to see the health of my endpoints and stack, it would be appreciated."
"There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that."
"Although there is documentation available, it is really hard for me to find relevant topics on what it is that I'm searching for."
"Splunk Cloud Platform should improve its integrations and consider multiple integrations or direct integration with other platforms like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS."
