What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
CloudGuard's intelligent tools help us automate many manual security tasks, guaranteeing our customers' environments will be secure. It saves a lot of time because jobs that might require five or six people can be handled with one or two.
What needs improvement?
Check Point solutions are not easy to use if you don't have experience. We have some Check Point specialists, so it's not difficult for us. The user experience might suffer if we don't have the time to follow up with our clients and ensure they are using the right options. Clients also want more local support in Portuguese and Spanish during their normal business hours. That's something I hear from my customers and my team, too.

This feature is integrated into the security solution of Check Point, and its CloudGuard flagship product is very valuable to our company. It has helped us to make posture, recommendations, and security improvements to the network of our Azure public cloud. We have been able to improve our current implementations and future deployments of networks in our infrastructure in the best way, making assessments that provide us with improvements that include building a more secure environment.

This tool managed to help us improve our security from deployment to reconfiguration of networks - both in our Azure public cloud and on-premise networks, thanks to its improvement reports.

The best practices that this product has at the network level are incredible. We have improved a lot so far, and now we have a more secure and complete infrastructure.

The automation of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is incredible. It helps us to deploy implementations with good practices in the network; this is a great value add to the tool.
What needs improvement?
It would be very good if the company could expand the current public documentation in order to improve the implementation of the solution, and initial configurations, among other items. It would help us be able to implement it in the fastest and safest way possible.
The costs are high. They could revalue them by lowering them a bit and making them more attractive to many customers, and likely they would be able to sell more.
It would also be good to validate the Check Point Infinity Portal. Sometimes it sticks a bit or responds a little slowly.

Network protection, assessments, and best practices for cloud networks.
What is our primary use case?
We have infrastructure in both Microsoft Azure and on-premise. We wanted to centralize an environment of governance, control, and best practices, at the level of Microsoft Azure. We were able to implement Defender for the cloud at some point. However, we already had security products from Check Point. The idea was to centralize all our tools in the same environment to make it easier to support administration.
With Check Point CloudGuard we have been able to successfully implement a layer of protection for our cloud and our on-premise environments.
How has it helped my organization?
With Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, we have been able to provide advanced security and security in the Azure network in addition to all the security additions associated with Check Point which are very important. Each one provides a role or complements the security of the company.
The panel or score can help evaluate the reality of our cloud and hybrid infrastructure. It has an excellent capability. The Check Point blueprint has taken us to the next level of protection.
It really is a pretty complete solution.
What is most valuable?
Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is complemented with all the features and becomes a security giant. The most important features, at least for us, are:
1 - It allows for the implementation of centralized security through Check Point Infinity in addition to being able to manage the security of hybrid and cloud environments.
2 - The trust and security provided by advanced threat protection is a point of distinction. We have not seen any false positives. Its anti-malware prevention is very good, and protection against ransomware is one of the features we require for our infrastructure.
3 - Additionally, it can be integrated with most public clouds, making it attractive.
What needs improvement?
There are a few features or improvements that can be mentioned. One of them may be that the Infinity Portal is sometimes slow. A performance improvement could improve the administrator's perspective.
At the cost level, the solution is somewhat expensive. They could have an improvement to be a more feasible solution for everyone.
The support must improve. It is the biggest issue that Check Point currently has. Sometimes it is better to investigate oneself than to wait for a solution from the support department.
For how long have I used the solution?
We implemented this tool a few months ago to be able to validate the security associated with our cloud environment. In this case, we implemented against Microsoft Azure.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Yes
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Yes
How are customer service and support?
Great.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used Microsoft Defender for a cloud solution. It's a very good tool, however, Microsoft is new in this field.
What about the implementation team?
It was carried out internally and was a positive experience.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is definitely important to test the tool before defining it in a production environment. It is also good to know the costs with a professional.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Previously we checked to see if we could stay with Microsoft Defender for Cloud. However, we opted for a centralized environment with more security muscle of its own.
What other advice do I have?
It is one of the best solutions on the market. I challenge you to try it so you can say the same.
