Excellent Product
What do you like best about the product?
Its the best security product I have ever worked with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike about the checkpoint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protecting our PCI data, and its becomes very easy to manage from Smartconsole
Homogeneous security in cloud as on-premise
What do you like best about the product?
The Cloud solution integrates in a homogeneous way with your current infrastructure and it's centrally managed within your current environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functionalities are developed and offered a bit later compared with the similar physical systems (or not supported at all).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Essentially the efficiency and visibility cost of managing different security solutions that do not integrate very well. If you are already using other vendor's products its easy to start running this solution as the way of managing them it's practically the same between cloud and on-premise systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Advise to not generating too much configuration at native cloud provider tools as you're going to have to migrate such configurations to the IaaS solution.
Great security devices
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of deployment and usability, monitoring is also a key factor.
What do you dislike about the product?
How the Checkpoints are put together does take some getting used to but thats not a bad thing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a complete security package and this gave us that

Nice NGFW for any cloud
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
The price is high.
Deploying and configuring is hard if you've never used Check Point
Deploying and configuring is hard if you've never used Check Point
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We restrict communication between cloud servers and use it as usual NGFW on public resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check Point is one of the security visioners, so you can trust its features. But be prepared to face all the subtleties of configuration and administration.
I have seen in many companies and looks great solutions.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility and security provided by CP..
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be more accessible for clear in certain points. Training for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point CloudGuard offers dynamic security for private cloud in virtual data centers to prevent the lateral spread.
Firewall for Public Clouds
What do you like best about the product?
Since I had experince with Check Point NGFW before, it was easy for me to adapt CloudGuard IaaS. Basicly, this solution has the same architecture and components as NGFW, so when you deploy it to the cloud, it feels like managing just yet another datacenter of you company. It also has a reach set of supporte cloud provides, but for now we use it only on Google Cloud Platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with other solution of this kind, you still have to manage basic cloud firewall and routes for VPC outside of CloudGuard IaaS - there's no 100% integration if you concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main usage - protection of our cloud assests deployed on Google Cloud Platform - firewall and Intrusion Prevention Blades. Also we rely on GeoIP module to restrict undesired countries from accessing our services (as for now you can't achieve it with GCP firewall).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should fully understand the way CloudGuard would be integrated into you cloud from the networking perspective, and it differs from platform to platform. E.g. for Google Cloud the instances of Cloud Guard must have interfaces in several VPCs as a requirement. Think about the subnetting and routing for your project, make a PoC with your networking staff.
Manage AWS internet access policy as we do on the on-premise appliances
What do you like best about the product?
The thing we like the most is the ability to create an internet access policy with application control, URL filtering, etc. the same way we do on our on-premise Check Point firewalls. The auto scaling feature is also a plus as we let it run automatically and the solution don't need our manual intervention in high load periods.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup is well documented but could be simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem we solved with this solution is basically securing the Internet access of our AWS servers in a easy way and with the user interface we are used to work with on-premise, including the same kind of logs we see on our internal network Check Point firewalls, etc.
Auto-scaling allows this solution to react perfectly to times in which the internet access is more demanding, reducing costs when the internet access needs are low by removing unneeded instances and adding them as needed.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are used to Check Point on the on-premise, this is clearly the solution for you. Even if not this is clearly the solution to consider to secure your Cloud Environment.
The ease for implementing and and virtualizing our network as a service
What do you like best about the product?
The most important is the security which is provided for the network and the ease of deployment is the best thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need better fixes for the management issues occurring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems of complex deployment has been solved to a great extent. The ease of management is a great add-on. Have reduced the human efforts.
