A robust solution that provides a unified view of connections
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
You need to know exactly the system. You cannot have someone running the system if they don't have the knowledge to do so.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with the solution for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
My clients are large, but they are not enterprise-sized or small.
How was the initial setup?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Other unified platforms like QRadar and Cisco are comparatively easier to use.
What other advice do I have?
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.
