What is our primary use case?
We use it to manage our policies, consolidate them, and if we see anything missing, we can use it to track that, as well.
Right now, we're mainly on-premise. S,o the cloud piece is not being used right now. However, in the future, we will use it. I think it will help tremendously to get a good picture across the board.
How has it helped my organization?
One of the main things is to look at what policies haven't been hit, so we can remove those remnant policies when people come in, use it, and it's still left on the Check Point. So when a couple of users say, "This is not needed anymore." We'll remove it.
What is most valuable?
The capability to manage: We have different domains, so we want to have a single pane of glass to see what all the different policies are doing.
What needs improvement?
We like the change impact analysis capabilities quite a bit. The only weakness is that the reporting is a bit clunky. We would like to have the reporting be better.
Right now, it is being used retroactively. There was talk with the rep this morning that they can do this proactively. In other words, we see the policy, and if it's not needed, then it can be removed, or add new policies, as needed.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We feel that it is a very good solution. So, we'll probably use it going forward.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This is one of the things that we do like about the solution, which is why we went with it.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support has been very good. I would like it to be a little faster, but it's good.
How was the initial setup?
There were some hiccups in the initial setup. In using the new features, there was a learning curve. However, for the most part, it was fairly straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We hired people that have done the deployment in the past. So, we did it all ourselves.
What was our ROI?
Manually looking at the policies is very time-consuming. With this product, I think we've streamlined the process tremendously.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We like the visibility. That's why we went with this solution over other competitors.
What other advice do I have?
It does what it needs to do for our needs.
We are in the process of doing a PoC for the new changes.
Currently, it's all reactive. We do the changes, then we review it at a later time.
