When you upgrade multiple times, you leave many files that are useless. They are dated, so it's always better to create a new machine every few versions, for example, three or four major versions.

Room For Improvement

Enhancements needed in usability, stability, integration, cost, log management, support, rule creation, cloud capabilities, documentation, and GUI for Check Point Security Management.

Users urge improvements in interface usability, automation, integration, support, AI capabilities, pricing, and visualization for Sumo Logic Security.

When the logs are too heavy for the security management server, the CPU spike will be high, causing our management day-to-day activity to lag or become difficult.

Abnet Tsegaye Belay

Cybersecurity Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Refining reports and automation capabilities to make it more intuitive and scalable for diverse enterprise environments could improve Check Point Security Management.

K.Q

IT Support at a security firm with 51-200 employees

Engaging role-based access control is essential; granular permissions for more flexible RBAC will allow the organization to delegate tasks.

Gerardo Rojas

This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations.

I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS.

Migell Roberts

The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk.

Vinay Patel D N

SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Setup Cost

Check Point offers competitive, high-value security management with flexible, cost-effective licensing, despite higher initial pricing than some competitors.

Sumo Logic Security offers mid-range pricing, balancing cost and functionality, with convenience through AWS Marketplace but increasing costs with usage.

Since we are using it extensively, we get significant discounts during procurement.

Pravir KumarSinha

Information Security at Synechron

Licensing is quite expensive.

reviewer2751366

This makes it more cost-effective because other solutions often include a third element in their pricing.

WilsonAitan

Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)

From one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would put Sumo Logic Security at a seven.

If you go to the well-known vendors such as Azure Sentinel or other tools like Splunk, you are going to find them costly since they are well-known and they have much more integration compared to Sumo Logic Security.

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.

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration

To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.

Overview

Check Point Security Management is an advanced security management platform for enterprises. The platform integrates all aspects of security. A single platform manages the entire infrastructure, from data centers to private/public cloud deployments.

Check Point Security Management is a reliable and easy-to-use security platform. It integrates all aspects of your security environment to strengthen the security posture without impairing productivity. The system has a layered policy model. This means the security policy can be separated into layers for network segmentation. Different administrators can manage different policies. The policy layer automates the tasks.

The platform is extensible, scalable, and integrates easily with orchestration systems and change management.

Basic Components of the Infrastructure

Smart Console: The Check Point Graphical User Interface for connecting and managing Security Management Servers. The smart console provides an integrated solution via the following features:

Security policy management
System health monitoring
Multi-domain management

The smart console offers several advantages. Changes in security policies and logs can be done with a click. You can navigate from an item within a log to the policy. There are also built-in multi-language support and accessibility features.

1. Security Management Server: The server manages security gateways with set security policies and monitors security events on the network.

The automation server is an integrated part of the management server. The API server is active by default on servers with 4 GB of RAM or more and on standalone servers with 8 or more GB of RAM.

The automation server communicates with the management server the same way as the Smart Console. This architecture allows the same validation errors and warnings to be presented when using an automation session.

The same audit logs generated using the Smart Console are also generated using an automation session. If you have a multi-domain environment, there is only one automation server that monitors all the IP addresses of the multi-domain management server.

2. Security Gateway is placed at the edge of the network. It monitors and filters traffic and enforces security policies.

Logging, Event management, and Monitoring

With Check Point Security Management, logging, reporting, event management, and monitoring are integrated. The platform features widgets and chart templates that optimize visibility. One of the best features is the one-click exploration. This simplifies going from a general overview to specific event details.

Benefits of Check Point Security Management

The platform keeps pace with dynamic network changes
Helps align security with business goals
Helps with threat prevention.
Reduces operational costs

The unified console also means a single policy for users, data, applications, and networks. The granularity control helps accelerate administration processes. This feature, together with automation, is key to achieving reduced operational overhead. Security teams can automate tasks and even create self-service security web portals with the Check Point Security Management platform.

Threat management is fully integrated, with reporting, logging, and monitoring all in one dashboard. This provides full visibility into the security of the network.

Security Management Suite

The Security Management Suite consists of the following modules:

Policy Management: Includes central management of different security policies across multiple domains and browser-based security management.
Operations Management: Includes compliance, provisioning, workflow automation, and user directory centralization.
Threat Management: Includes centralizing security event correlation for enforcement points. Centrally monitors Check Point devices.

Reviews from Real Users

A Network Security Engineer/Architect at a tech services company says, "The features we like and find the most valuable are the ways we can manage the policy, create objects, and drag and drop objects in our daily operation. It makes our daily operation on the firewall management much easier than going, for example, to one firewall, then going to the other."

"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering," says a System Engineer Network & Security at OTTO GmbH & Co KG.

A Senior Infrastructure Services Specialist at St.George Bank Limited adds that "The solution is ideal for use and deployment in a large infrastructure environment."
