Check Point Firewall, consistently functional and strong
What do you like best about the product?
As with any security process, there is a learning curve, but Check Point has always had detailed and easy documentation to learn from. The product has always been very stable, and on the very few times it reached a condition where the system had no idea what to do, it would send alerts quickly. We have been using the product since 2000 with no issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some very outlying options that you have to drop to a prompt and run a script on. While I understand that adding a gui sometimes can lower security, the once or twice a year I have to go to the prompt always involves much refreshing and reading before hand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping the company secure from internet threats while providing a secure and fast onramp to the internet for the company. With so many business processes on remote internet-connected sites, having both security and speed to access those sites is critical.

Excellent firewall for threat prevention
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use - SmartConsole management is not difficult to learn. Many answers to questions are available to the public, and they have a dedicated community to support them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to get the right support engineer to help with the issue. Some tickets requiring a more profound understanding take a little too long before they escalate to the right person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
URL filtering, IPS threat prevention, detailed logs, among others. I was impressed with the way Checkpoint handled the log4j vulnerability and made it effortless for us to update our IPS configuration to be protected from it.

Check Point offer a consistent security experience for all organizations from SMBs to large enterprises and ISPs.

Check Point firewalls are complex devices and can be tricky to setup in the most secure or performant environments. Because of this, it can trip up people who are not experienced with the devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They allow me to have confidence that I am applying consistant, industry leading security on my network perimeters. The ability to trust that I can allow the firewalls to do their jobs without constant management and upkeep is amazing

The first and the best FW in the world
What do you like best about the product?
Checkpoint NGFW helped us to protect our organization in an easy matter and with easy UI. Everything is covered from standard access control rules to threat protection including options to scan downloaded files with AV+Sandbox and even content disarm.
What do you dislike about the product?
In older versions (< r81) installing policy was very slow, since we still are with r80.x build we still have to wait for some minutes for installing policy. Also the fact that not every feature are in the smart console they need to merge more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checkpoint NGFW is helping us to protect our entire network from internal and external threats. It also permits us to connect to our organization with VPN with SSO from azure ad.

What do you dislike about the product?
I find Check Point NGFW complex when it comes to deployment. Also, I am a bit unease using itS GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you dislike about the product?
The study material and training need to be improved and more accessible to security engineers working with Check Point.
Advanced troubleshooting and configuration might get a bit too complex for regular engineers compared with easy administration.
Encountered a few limitations when trying to accomplish simple tasks required by Customer, like changing a Domain name inside an MDS environment: missing function in the database which removes the domain object completely from the database.
Plenty of bugs not documented or with too generic error messages

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Check Point solution has improved the way the customer organization functions.
People work within the organization worldwide, across NALA, APAC and EMEA regions. Having Checkpoint as a security vendor made it easy to assure people to access the resources all over the place, from offices, homes and across the globe, especially during the pandemic.
E.g. one of the last implemented projects is replacing obsolete Client Auth solution with Identity Awareness, including integration to AVD.

Check Point Next generation Firewalls are best when it comes to Cyber Security compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Check Point's NGFWs have the best-designed Sandblast's Zero-day protection. This gives any organisation uncomprimising security
What do you dislike about the product?
Check Point NGFWs should come inbuilt feature for XDR. This will help Checkpoint to keep organisation's Security policies intact. CIOs will not have to more about their Security compliances anymore if checkpoint comes with XDR feature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point NGFWs Unified Security management feature helps in control across most of the networks, clouds and even IOT devices. This has benefitted us in reducing overall security operations substantially.
My Experience with Checkpoint Quantum 1600!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple installation wizard was helpful. I liked the way it was guiding its user to what to do next. Most of the firewall now have this but in case of checkpoint it was simple and easy to understand. Another feature i liked most was the security report generating. The security report is very informative and makes it easier for the administrator to get a clear picture of the premise.
What do you dislike about the product?
i think the log holding capacity of smb series could be improved a little bit although it's quite enough according to the device sizing but some customer always wants more. The device can be integrated with external log server, it's a plus point but as smb customers want all in one product they look for something which is capable of more than what the device can actually hold
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If we focus on SMB-grade customers, we can see that they always look for an "all-in-one" type solution. In terms of that, the checkpoint has some exclusive models that meet all their requirements. From securing your network to delivering the best service! It centralizes the whole security posture and helps minimize the view. This way administrator gets a clear picture of what is going on with their network
