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."
"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."
"One of the most outstanding characteristics of its centralized administration is its great computing power."
"The SSL VPN monitoring based on users and tunnel monitoring are great value-added features present in the management console."
"The unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"We can easily push the policies to any of our gateways."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"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."
"Endpoint to network protects the line."
"The great advantage in using this product is it creates multiple services."
"What I like most about Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is its notification capability."
"The incident management on the solution is very good. You get a lot of detailed information about an incident. You also get a lot of documentation in connection with the CVI or integration."
"Technical support is very responsive. You just have to open a ticket. They respond in a timely manner. Their response is good. I'm satisfied."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow threat protection."
"Currently we have 800-plus nodes connected with this solution, without any issues. The solution is scalable."
"The Application Control code and the easy integration are valuable features."
"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"The tracking of new threats could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in reliability."
"Some of the configuration elements could be improved."
"Check Point's hybrid cloud integration needs significant improvements. These resources need to evolve as data transfers to the cloud increase, so hybrid cloud models are easier to implement. Better hybrid cloud integration would improve how we manage our security logs and provide our administrators with a low-cost solution that enables them to meet all our essential requirements."
"While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory."
"Sometimes the security system slows down when it is overloaded."
"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."
"The security features need to be improved."
"The cloud platform needs to have improvement in terms of the user interface and the different capabilities it has available. It needs to match the other leading next-gen EDR products that are available in the market. That's the reason why we are stepping away from Symantec. Their cloud environment is just generally lacking in comparison to others."
"There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."
"Not ideal for advanced threat protection."
"It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled."
"The support has dropped down to a five out of ten."
"Entire threat protection is not available for the advanced features."
"An improvement could be made on the reporting because then it would be easier to collect information and submit it for compliance."
