Check Point Next Generation Firewalls: guaranteed security

  • September 23, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I liked the most about this product has been its high-level security, performance and scalability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaints that can be had (to find them some) are: the predefined reports are few and should provide more information, historical statistics cannot be made and the number of available physical ports could be expanded and that could be higher speed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point is a company that has been producing firewalls for many years and is a benchmark in today's market. They are always renewing their products and improving them to be the first of the market.
Check Point Next Generation Firewall is a great product that brings a lot of security to your organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Define in a real way what you want to allow (applications, contents, destinations, ...) and drop the rest of the traffic.

Review the created groups, objects and networks to efficiently define the security policies that you finally want.

Next Generation of Firewalls

  • September 22, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In addition to legacy firewall features, with Checkpoint NGFW's blade technology, you can improve your security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Checkpoint NGFW has numerous blade options such as Anti-bot, IPS, URL filtering. In most cases, one box is sufficient to use all these blades. This feature lowers your administrative workload.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Especially for branch offices, we do not need to implement additional security products. Enabling required blades can respond to your needs.

Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) - Smart Console Dashboard Simplicity

  • September 20, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Check Point Next Generation Firewalls ease of management via the Smart Console Dashboard is what keeps our infrastructure easy to manage and to support. As part of the day to day operations, knowing that you can manage, check logs and investigate issues in one central dashboard makes it easier to troubleshoot and investigate issues in the network.
Check Point has come a long way of making their dashboard easy to use, and to think that other vendors are copying the style of how Checkpoint manages their NGFWs is way ahead of the other vendors in this space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the Check Point Next Generation Firewalls are easily manageable from the dashboard, it still would be great if the Smart Console Dashboard can incorporate the capability to perform historical stats and monitoring of traffic across the infrastructure. Although this can be manage by exporting logs to a different server, the smartview monitor dashboard has not been updated since the R77.x series of the dashboard was introduced. It would be great to have the smartview also updated to the current and most recent version of the smartconsole.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point Next Generation Firewalls has provided our infrastructure the scalability and flexibility to support different project requirements and implementation. From creating different virtual systems to support different environment and routing requirements, to the integration of the dashboard with other vendors for firewall rule implementation, support team roles has never been easy with the help of the Check Point NGFWs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would highly recommend the product and the support that Check Point team provides, specially their Diamond services. Knowing that the diamond support engineer is available to assist makes it easier for the operations team to manage the network security infrastructure.

  • August 19, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

NextGen FW focusing on Enterprise Security

  • July 21, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of management through smart dashboard with additional features like SmartLog. VSX functionality with which the device can support multiple virtuals. To add to the FW capability, all the additioal features to make it a Nextgen FW.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the additional features are resource intensive and consume a lot of CPU and we have had a few outages with the device failing. Though we like to have more features, the focus should still be on stability and performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Checkpoint NGFW as the perimter security FW with multiple VS to support the different environments we have along with support of BGP. Checkpoints do a wonderful job with its VSX capability and is able to work well with Cisco Swicthes/routers when it comes to BGP.

Global solution to ensure my network

  • July 19, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most valuable feature in my opinion is the powerful deep packet inspection engine, This engine provides me with a great capacity to control the traffic generated by my users and provides our company with a very real vision of the use that users make of the network. I also consider very important the capacity of the solution in terms of reporting, to be able to show in an understandable way to the company management the benefits and the return on the investment made and how this helps to secure our network
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion, being aware that the solution is already quite complete for the requirements of my organization, they could perhaps improve the number of physical network ports available and integrate ports of greater capacity. Another point of improvement would be to continue improving the integration line with our current NAC solution in order to exchange more attributes and increase the granularity of the implemented policies. Although as I said at the beginning the solution seems very complete as it is compared to other similar solutions on the market
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point Next Generation Firewall has improved the performance of our network, bringing the IT administrator a lot of information and data to take decisions about security, vulnerability, strengths and weaknesses in our deployed projects and many other information to understand our users. Now we feel more confident with our network and know what happen on it and what kind of traffic we have.
