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.

Efficiently identify and address online threats with timely alerts and thorough takedown capabilities
The most valuable features are its threat intel platform, which provides the latest trends and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that I can act on. I quickly obtain data, such as leaked email IDs and passwords, from the ZeroFOX portal or the threat intel portal when required. The platform's GUI-based features stand out and provide thorough takedown capabilities for domains, social media accounts, and phishing numbers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is cost-effective."
"Check Point Security Management has impacted my organization positively because the organization's security and perimeter area is better after using this technology."
"The control is granular, so you can set policy profiles for different organizational profiles."
"First of all, centralized management is great."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."
"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."
"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."
"ZeroFOX is valuable because it enables the detection of chatter on social media without depending on keywords and has no language limitations, as it can detect many languages."
 

Cons

"It could improve by showing DNS-specific information for connections to unknown public IPs."
"Being a security appliance, there should be the ability for the Security Management server to send email alerts via authenticated email."
"Check Point Security Management has experienced some reliability issues, but it depends on VM, appliance, and any other implementation."
"For the first deployment, Check Point Security Management is not so easy and can be difficult for the first implementation."
"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."
"They need to change the support resolution time."
"Check Point Security Management can be improved as it requires significant resources, particularly in larger deployments."
"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours, but they take more than that."
"ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single incident."
"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense."
