Charles Opio - PeerSpot reviewer
Unified threat protection and real-time insights enhance network security and save time
The best features Check Point ThreatCloud Managed Security Services offers are threat prevention, zero-day protection, which can stop a threat immediately when detected, a lower rate of false positives, and a good unified management console. By unified management, I mean that it is integrated across Check Point's portfolio of devices, allowing us to coordinate security threats with Check Point Security Cloud Management Threat Detection Service, and reduced false positives due to its built-in AI enables accurate threat analysis using its vast and advanced data. Check Point ThreatCloud Managed Security Services has positively impacted my organization by providing real-time protection analysis, superior threat intelligence, and centralized visibility into our network infrastructure and security infrastructure.
John-Berry - PeerSpot reviewer
The SOC center monitors, hunts, and notifies us of threats around the clock
I know they are working to resolve this issue, but Netsurion is currently unable to retrieve logs from S3 buckets. We use WP Engine for a lot of web hosting as well as AWS, and both of these platforms use S3 buckets. I would like Netsurion to be able to pull logs from Linux devices. We have some of that capability, and I believe they can do it. However, the way it works with Amazon is strange and glitchy. Therefore, working something out with Amazon would be great. Netsurion's SOC can be a bit too aggressive at times. We have asked them to adjust their playbook because I am tired of being notified about the same issue multiple times a day. I am aware of the issue, and it is not a cause for concern. Let's only take action on this issue if we see an actual problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most outstanding characteristic that we can see is having something in place that allows any network administrator to apply security policies throughout the company's network."
"We get analysis and can take into consideration the critical alerts found at any time. This gives us security and stability."
"Check Point ThreatCloud Managed Security Services has positively impacted my organization by providing real-time protection analysis, superior threat intelligence, and centralized visibility into our network infrastructure and security infrastructure."
"The reports it shares with the IT team provide the feedback necessary to see what needs to change and what needs to continue to be done."
"It was easily configured and offered one more layer of security in our environment as the monitoring provided by the dashboard is very complete."
"The real-time intelligence was a good feature."
"Check Point ThreatCloud Managed Security Services has positively impacted my organization by providing real-time protection analysis, superior threat intelligence, and centralized visibility into our network infrastructure and security infrastructure."
"This tool helps validate threats at a global level."
"Their SOC team manages vulnerability management and IOC reviews. They stop bad processes when they happen. The best thing is their weekly reviews of what has been going on in the infrastructure as well as the things that they see and what we should look out for."
"The network alert is the most valuable feature. That way, we in the IT department are aware of user lockout and invalid password attempts way before a user ever even calls in."
"If I were to look at logs manually, there's no way I could do that. As an example, they are 48 million logs processed a day. There is no way I could look at all 48 million of those. So, it gives me a good structure to be able to look at the different incidents which are created and do different searches."
"The most important feature is keeping track of when accounts are created and deleted, when permission groups are changed, and memberships are changed in groups; and overall, how many errors are occurring on the various systems that we're monitoring."
"If we need to do a search for user lockouts, we can go, search, and find locations where they have been locked out, then keep track of those events, historically."
"I really appreciate the fact that the dashboard breaks everything down into a pretty easy view for me... It shows what changes are happening to privileged user accounts, access and identity, what's cropping up. It shows application activity and whether we've got system resources that aren't online and being found anymore. It's a pretty simple, easy, quick hit and there are the supporting logs behind it. If I need to drill down further, I can do that quickly. It's very effective."
"Netsurion was easy to deploy. I have worked with other systems that were a little less complex, but they weren't quite as easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is definitely real-time alerting, especially in situations where someone might attempt to exploit or hack into our network."
 

Cons

"The only issue I encountered was with mobile device integration and compatibility with on-premise solutions."
"One of the great improvements that must be improved is the support for end users."
"Sometimes we can see the documentation and follow its instructions to apply a new rule or policy, and sometimes we don't get the expected result by following them."
"The next release should have threat indicators that categorize various types of threats and their immediate solution."
"Check Point ThreatCloud Managed Security Services could improve its application because it is resource-intensive, which lightweight systems may struggle with, and we can also improve its latency, especially when analyzing with the sandbox, which sometimes causes performance setbacks."
"The documentation for the most modern applications of the manufacturer is sometimes not well done or complete."
"We want better customization."
"At the level of communication through the Check Point Infinity Portal, sometimes the session is closed automatically."
"Netsurion's threat detection and response aren't quite mature. I would expect a little more."
"Everything that I've wanted has been added in. EDR was added, and MITRE was added. Those were two big ones that we didn't even have to push for."
"It would be great if they had a client for phones by which they could push a notification to us, as opposed to via email."
"The solution's dashboard is okay. The one thing that we ran into are issues when we upgraded to the newer version. It uses Elasticsearch for the different dashboard entries. So, we were running on spinning disks, and Elasticsearch didn't work that well. A number of the different dashboards, like my dashboard or different things like that, pull from Elasticsearch. Since Elasticsearch really wasn't working, we were having some issues with that, but we just migrated."
"There's always room to improve because there would be no competition if they had a perfect solution. The GUI to perform searches within the product may not be intuitive to a new user."
"The deployment of the agents could be a bit easier. We always seem to have a bit of a challenge with that. A lot of times the agents either don't deploy or they quit responding, then we have to go and redeploy them."
"Probably the biggest thing is just: Can I search for this and what's the best way to do it? If I'm looking for two events versus a singular event, I just throw it back at them. They're the experts on it."
"We get a report generated on a particular day of the week and we go through it, trying to mitigate problems and make sure we're seeing everything that's happening. It would be helpful if the SOC spent a little more time with us going through some of those reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You are paying for different levels, especially as far as the monitoring goes and how often you review it with the team. The other factor that figures in is how many nodes are on your network, such as clients, network equipment, servers, etc. There are some additional pieces on top of that, but it's laid out pretty simply, as far as how much you're going to pay for a node."
"Netsurion's pricing is competitive. At the same time, they're the only ones who do what we want to do the way we want it. I can't say we would've paid more, but we would've had to have come up with our own solution if they weren't providing that."
"Licensing is very easy. Our CIO takes care of the billing, but in terms of price point, he hasn't complained, so it must be good."
"The solution is fairly expensive, but in my experience, all of the SIEM applications that I've evaluated or looked at cost about the same."
"The pricing and licensing seem very reasonable. The managed service part of it feels like it gives me the equivalent of a full-time engineer for a lot less money. So, I feel it's a good value."
"When we first got the EventTracker product, we were using SIEM Simplified. At the time they didn't call it that, but it was more of a service thing. So, there was a bit more hand-holding and getting stuff set up, along with failure reports, that they did during the first one to two years. Then, we decided that the the additional money to have someone do these daily reports wasn't terribly useful, so we discontinued that service."
"We have seen time and cost savings. It prevents us from having to hire specialized people for this type of work. We would need to hire six staff members to accommodate the same service."
"Our budget follows the calendar year. We just started a new budget year at the beginning of the month. We did budget for an increase in our threat management system selection. Therefore, we have the budget to implement and accommodate a threat management system change, including an increase for the quoted actions that we received to improve EventTracker. We are just waiting on our council to approve that budget, which might not be for a little while. Hopefully, when they do, we will be able to jump on doing something."
