An easy-to-navigate tool useful for filtering internet traffic that needs to improve its deployment speed
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
With the solution, we just need to filter the traffic coming from the internet and Direct Connect. So it filters the traffic, basically. It permits access. In short, it just filters the traffic and permits the traffic. The aforementioned details are the purposes for which we use the tool.
What needs improvement?
We use the tool as a basic firewall. It's a technical firewall. As a technical firewall, we use SmartConsole or Check Point Firewall.
The deployment phase takes too much time. I would like the deployment to be faster.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security for two and a half years. We are using Check Point R80.10 SmartConsole in our organization.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten since it takes too much time for deployment. However, it is flexible since we used to push the policy normally. It takes hardly ten seconds to install the policy. It's much easier.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have been using the solution in my company for the last year. Other than the employees in my company, more than 25,000 users are using the solution hosted on AWS.
Basically, the application, which is hosted, is used internally. It's the same user account because it's not exposed anywhere on the internet. If anyone wants to access the solution from the internet, the traffic comes from Direct Connect, and from Direct Connect, it goes to AWS.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not much complex. The setup phase was good enough to be able to navigate through it.
It took a long time to deploy it. We need to run this on EC2 instances, so it took almost two hours to deploy the solution. After deploying the solution slowly, and gradually, we have to push the policy on the firewall. It takes time to deploy, but it's a stable one.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. It's a software we install in EC2 instances on AWS, which we use as a firewall.
We currently have six to seven resources managing the deployments and maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
During deployment, we took technical help from Check Point.
What other advice do I have?
It is a good-to-use tool that is also flexible.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Management over Thin Client (Only widnows)
Yes, this is one of the best Security Solutions provided by Check Point Software Technologies, but why all main features required additional software to be installed and only in Windows (Smart)? As a Linux Administrator which manage only Linux platforms, it sounds strange, there a lot of features on the Web UI, why not include all of them...
