Currently, we have our applications and devices in the Microsoft cloud in Azure. We have been modernizing our platform, and some services we have been converting to a platform as a service for which many app services have been implemented, among other workloads, and we needed to expose them to the outside. Therefore, a tool was needed that could do this security filtering and that also provided a set of native tools and functionalities for the cloud and checkpoint to meet the needs that we were presenting.

Since we were able to implement this new tool, we have been able to put into production all the applications that we have modernized for the use of our clients and officials, thus resulting in a more continuous and faster improvement of our services and achieving better scalability, stability and we have managed to reduce the costs and labor in IT, thus ensuring that our developers dedicate themselves to other projects and not be making patches for the applications as we were doing due to our obsolete technology, in addition, it provided us with regulatory compliance, monitoring, and analysis of all applications.

The tool has many valuable features that help us in our day-to-day life with all the applications. With the solution, we managed to obtain complete comprehensive visibility of the entire environment in the cloud, thus having better control of each of the resources.

In addition to that, we managed to have security policies that allow us to reward compliance in each of the applications. We've been able to provide better regulatory compliance, thus being able to mitigate security risks in our environment and achieve a better standard in the security of the company.

The tool is currently one of the best on the market. It has a series of more innovative features in the security market. That said, there are improvements necessary.

They should improve in the delivery of more detailed reports with more information. 

They should improve in the support they provide since they have lost a lot of strength here. Quality has dropped; they do not comply with the SLA. 

They should have a centralized library of each of the manual technologies, guides, and errors where everything can be found in one place so that we do not waste time searching all over the web for a solution or guide.

This solution is new; I have been using it for one year,

To this day, the stability of the tool is very good and has not presented any problems.

The scalability of the tool is very good; it is multi-cloud.

The support must be improved. The performance and quality it offers have decreased.

Neutral

It is one of the first tools that implements application security.

The installation was simple since we have experience with these tools, however, it does have a medium learning curve.

The implementation was carried out by the IT department with the help and supervision of the vendor's engineer.

The investment was quite relevant; we did it to protect our information and power the applications in production.

The price and licenses are very competitive in the market and should go down a little.

We did look into Microsoft tools, such as the WAF, which were evaluated. They did not meet the organization's needs.

It is an excellent multicloud tool with good security features.

Check Point CloudGuard Application Security helps us ensure the security of contact devices and meet audit requirements for compliance. 

The tool performs device health checkups and updates us. It helps us to be compliant with regulatory policies. 

Check Point CloudGuard Application Security needs to improve updates on integrations. It also needs to incorporate real-time monitoring features. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

We encountered stability issues during the configuration. The tool's stability is good. 

Check Point CloudGuard Application Security is scalable. My company has 1000 users for it. 

The tool's support is good. 

Positive

Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's deployment is easy and completed in six hours. You need two to three resources to handle the deployment. You need proper training to do it. 

The tool's licensing costs are yearly and competitive. 

I rate Check Point CloudGuard Application Security an eight out of ten. 

The solution's strongest point is that you can connect everything to it, giving you a full view of what's connected. If you configure it right, it works perfectly.

You need to know exactly the system. You cannot have someone running the system if they don't have the knowledge to do so.

I've been working with the solution for about a year.

The solution is stable. It doesn't matter which device is running Check Point. The solution works. It has never gone down. I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.

My clients are large, but they are not enterprise-sized or small.

I rate the initial setup a five out of ten because it is easy if you have the required knowledge and difficult if you are new to the system. The challenge isn't installing it: "Next, next, next, finish." Even a less knowledgeable person can do that. The challenge is configuring the system. There are a lot of blades in CloudGuard. You need to keep each type of security in your view, except for the Check Point view.

The initial setup is very fast, but you need to pray that the solution does all the work itself.

Other unified platforms like QRadar and Cisco are comparatively easier to use.

You need someone knowledgeable to run the system. Today, with all the technology and everything, the company just wants to buy control and be lazy. "Let Check Point do the work." But this does not happen with Check Point because you need professional eyes. Check Point's price is very low compared to those controlling the system. You have to learn to investigate the solution to work better with it. The knowledge costs more than the system. The solution has a hybrid deployment, and I don't know a company that only chooses one deployment or another.

There is no support available for Check Point. There are things you have to look for, and that's it.

Check Point is the world's first and probably best security company. They might change its face, give it new names, separate into new models, and so on, but in the end, they are the best security company in the world. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
