Anand_Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Technical Architect at T-Systems International GmbH
Offers reliable Ops Agent and logging transport feature with easy third-party integrations
As part of our company, we implemented several changes in our log analytics pattern, including the storage and procurement process. Earlier, before implementing the solution, our company was able to procure only one year of data, but later, we came to the three-year mark. Around 15-20% reduction has been witnessed in the total analytic consumption of our company. The aforementioned result was possible because the solution allowed the creation of a dashboard where factors like storage costs, proportion of logs, and logs presence in a storage bucket or Big Query can all be checked. Earlier all logs were stored in a raw storage, but currently our company is able to move logs in table bucket that contributes towards cost savings. It has default integration for all gcp services. recently managed Prometheus support gives more flexibility to organizations to remain connected with their current Prometheus setup. We leveraged integrated FinOps Hub for recommendations for our workloads and server configurations, helpd us lot in order to get maximum TCO.

Along with good reporting capabilities, the product offers ease of deployment and great scalability options
I rate the product's initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy. Everything is pre-provisioned in the solution, so not much effort is required to complete the initial setup phase. The solution is deployed on the public cloud. The deployment process of Quantum Smart-1 Cloud takes around five to ten minutes. For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud module and start with the provisioning process, which is something that gets done automatically in a while.
