Check Point: A Smart Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
I like best how I search for objects and it gives me all the rules and groups associated to that object. The logging filters are okay too, and I like having sections on the security policies.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Check point is how it takes so much time opening the smartconsole. Loading the tabs took a lot of time also.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being NGFW, how it protects our network from unwanted traffic, threats, bots, and vulnerabilites. It also helps us administators to have a consolidated view of all our firewalls throuhh the smartconsole, providing easy policy installation whether globally or direct.

A feeling of trust from the past
What do you like best about the product?
After the R80, it underwent a big change. He completed his development in important parts that he saw lacking in himself. Especially after 81.40, operations on mngr are faster and policy install times are much shorter. In the past, we faced f/p situations and our need for opening cases decreased, and it became a more stable product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a screen called SmartDashboard, and it still hasn't been able to get rid of this screen. There is an impression that CPU spikes happen more often than other firewall manufacturers, but it should be tested in a one-to-one peer-to-peer environment. Dumping on a device with heavy traffic poses a risk to the user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The basic features of being NGFW are very good. You can do partial work based on url. You have more options when preparing policy packages. It's nice to be able to do different types of operations on objects. Apart from this, of course, it can successfully meet the standard firewall needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A normal firewall transition without S2S VPN structure is extremely simple and does not take time. It will be useful for you to test it by giving as much load as possible in the POC environment.
Checkpoint NGFW
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI and user experience, so easy to navigate the Smartconsole, being able to copy and paste from one policy to another, very flexible GUI. Helps to get things done quicker.
What do you dislike about the product?
VPN Configuration could be more straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to manage our policies internally with little firewall knowledge on the team. Have managed to get systems up and running much faster than our previous solution.

The fact you have to pay more for management module is the only thing i dislike of this product.

Checkpoint NGFW Product is good but support is required to be improved.

Product functionality in preventing threats is good. The constant update of IPS signature helps in protecting from multiple malware and threats. The The compliance check blade is very useful in ensuring the policy is up to standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
OEM Technical support is not up to the mark as per enterprise standard. OEM Support engineers does not cooperate in resolving issue and closes the case with just some workaround remarks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checkpoint NGFW firewall has multiple blades like IPS, IDS, Anti-Bot, Antivirus, IPSec, Content filtering etc. These are essential for enterprise-level firewalls to provide better security to organization networks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Checkpoint firewall provides better threat protection and its signature updates are well. The content filtering section has multiple options to meet most of the organizational requirements. The firewall has a virtual instance feature to create multiple instances as per requirement. However, the management of advanced network concepts like VSX and VRF in checkpoint firewall is quite difficult. Also, Support from OEM TAC is average and needs to be improved. Managing checkpoint firewall will require skills or training on this firewall.
