The marketing strategy and campaigns need more work. the competition is way more aggressive.
Some of the features like CLI reference, WAF capabilities etc are not there.
On Public Cloud Active-Active Deployment is not supported.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to protect not only IaaS but also PaaS services with CloudGuard.
Either it be autoscaling mode or Active Passive mode or single standby mode, Checkpoint Gateways work best in all the scenarios.
There were lots of attacks and ransomware we were facing which is now blocked seamlessly by checkpoint and the same we could see in the weekly or daily reports scheduled by the management server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No other thoughts checking and doing PoCs on other products, Just have a PoC with checkpoint product and you will see the difference.

Good system provided via Azure IAAS with good security oversight

  • December 04, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily encrypt / decrypt traffic at ease according to the security policy as well s the integration between Active Directory, Cloudguard Azure objects & application control.
What do you dislike about the product?
System hardening could be improved as password complexity is not enforced by default on root / command line passwords.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had an issue earlier in the year where AD query would not work, after investigation it turned out that access roles were being assigned to the wrong LDAP account, SmartConsole does say to be cautions with using multiple LDAP accounts however I feel this could do with some more visibility to administrators (Which LDAP object a Access role is assigned to).
