Great NGFW for the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Our overall experience with Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has been very positive, as the solution was easy to implement and integrates seamlessly with our cloud environment while maintaining the same reliability we are used to from on-prem clusters.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the upgrade process is not as streamlined as it could be, since it requires changes on both the firewalls and the cloud load balancers, which adds extra steps compared to on-prem upgrades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is solving the challenge of extending the same level of protection we have on-prem into our cloud environments. It was easy to implement, and the clusters work just like the on-prem appliances we’re already familiar with, which makes operations smooth for the team. The solution gives us superb logging to the SMS, so we have great visibility into traffic, and it integrates well with our existing workflows. The main benefit is that we can run our cloud workloads with the same level of security and confidence as on-prem, without adding unnecessary complexity.
Seamless Cloud Integration Balances Reliability with High Deployment Complexity and Cost
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless integration with AWS and Azure, from GWLB to Autoscaling, it works perfectly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Architecture is complex to setup and to manage. High-skilled team required to manage the infrastructure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It centralizes east-west and north-south access control. It inspects traffic, is able to host VPN's, NATs the traffic (possibility of centralized ingress), IPS, Anti-bot and Anti-virus blades.
Robust Cloud Security with Excellent Unified Management
What do you like best about the product?
The advanced threat prevention is truly best-in-class. We have deep visibility into our cloud traffic, and the ability to apply consistent, granular security policies across our hybrid and multi-cloud environments from a single console (Smart-1 Cloud) is a massive operational advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve can be steep for engineers not already familiar with the Check Point autoscaling ecosystem. Furthermore, the pricing structure can be complex to navigate, requiring careful planning to ensure cost-effectiveness, especially with dynamic workloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudGuard solves our main security challenges by providing a single, unified management platform for our on-prem and multi-cloud (AWS, Azure) environments. This creates a consistent security posture, which reduces management overhead and simplifies compliance audits. Its advanced threat prevention, including IPS and sandboxing, protects our critical workloads from threats that native cloud tools cannot block. Finally, it gives us deep, granular visibility into all traffic flows, which is crucial for faster incident response and effective reporting.

What do you dislike about the product?
We need c2s and s2s vpns on A/A scalesets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point CloudGuard is a lifesaver for our dynamic cloud environment. The auto-scaling feature automatically adjusts security coverage as traffic volumes change, eliminating those throughput bottlenecks we used to face. When traffic spikes, it scales up instantly, and scales down when things quiet down. This means we're never overpaying for unused capacity or scrambling when traffic surges.
Always recommend for the Cloud Network Security.

I like CloudGuard's features, but its UI is not very organized and it is difficult to use
What do you like best about the product?
Checkpoint Cloudguard is an incredible cloud security product that is easy to use and offers a single sign-on feature that saves a ton of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have little use for Check Point CloudGuard Network Security. The product has good features, but they're outweighed by other problems. I can’t customize the settings. TAC team support is insufficient because they just provide templated answers and take a long time to respond. I do not recommend this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is a complete waste of time. We were told that there were maintenance and licensing costs, but the billing was awful and we also found other hidden fees. We couldn't get a true overview of the expenses involved, and the additional fees and charges are useless.
