We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and VMware Aria Operations for Logs 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."HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"Security Management gives us complete visibility into our security operations, allowing administrators to identify and address problem areas, reduce unnecessary costs, and improve efficiency. It offers detailed reports on network usage and security, which helps my company to monitor and control its security expenses."
"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 intuitive interface also allows new team members to adapt to the technology if they are not familiar with it initially. It doesn't take much for one to familiarize themselves with the product."
"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."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"The most valuable feature for me is Identity Awareness."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"I like the interface."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the documentation and good practice guides are updated. Many are still from R77."
"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."
"The application filtering and URL filtering could be better."
"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."
"Sometimes the security system slows down when it is overloaded."
"In the last version from 80.20, there are some issues around SSNA Diction. I would like this to be improved."
"Being a security appliance, there should be the ability for the Security Management server to send email alerts via authenticated email."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"Technical support should be improved."
