Best, Simple, Easy to Consume and Most Reliable CSPM / CNAPP tool
What do you like best about the product?
1. Best thing we like at most is Support
2. Tool is very easy to handle
3. Posture results are highly accurate
4. We liked the UI at most
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Nothing much, just that we may need a option to close the findings manually., but again that is not most importantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us in improving our Cloud infrastructure Security Posture and so as our business is running seamless.
Majorly it helps in fighting issues that may arise due to non compliance with EU norms and regulations.
Good monitoring, compliance, and reporting of remediation actions.
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudsecurity posture Management,Cloudservice Network Security, Cloud Workload Protetion Platform in a single holistic platform. We like the GSL builder feature. When you're running a security operations center, you spend a lot of time monirong endpotint activity to ensure there is no malicious traffic or anonmymous access on the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, the visibility is not immediately available for the environment. We have the native servers that come with the solutions, but we cannot see them in the Checkpoint log, another issue is with the integrated file monitiring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our environment includes a hybrid cloud and three public service providers: AWS, Azure, and GCP. CloudGuard enables us to manage all the cloud provides from one dashboard. It enbaled a team approach, so we are more flexible and operationally efficient. The solution provides a holistic view from a single dashboard, making posture management and threat prevention more effective. Detection is not a siginificant challenge, when I block a particular incident, CloudGuard will implement some kind of orevention activity so that those types of activities are prevented automatically in the future. Prevention is more benefical for us.
Provides security and reliability, integrates well with other products, and the exceptions work well
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution mostly for policy pushing to other gateways.
How has it helped my organization?
We deployed the tool for a customer. They faced an attack, but Check Point did not allow it. Check Point does not allow unauthorized access to the network. It just sends a message to the person saying they are not authorized to access the network. The exceptions work very well. Most of the attacks go through the web path. The tool does a good job of securing the web path.
What is most valuable?
We can easily push the policies to any of our gateways. The solution manages the gateways. It works well with other products. It integrates well with Cisco products, too.
What needs improvement?
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for the last two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is very stable. The equipment is never down.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have more than ten customers.
How are customer service and support?
The support is very good. We get a response immediately whenever we enter a support request on the website. We do not have to wait for one or two hours. The team also offers remote support. The support provided by Check Point is one of the best in the market.
How was the initial setup?
We have most of the products on-premise. We have only one client on a VM. Check Point offers training for their products. They usually send us a link every time they launch a new feature. Unless we go through the tutorials, it will be difficult for us to deploy the solution. However, it is easy to deploy when you know how to do it. It is easy to navigate if we have read about the gadget.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool is expensive. However, if we buy Check Point Security Management, we do not have to buy anything else. We get all the features we need in a single solution. We get value for our money.
What other advice do I have?
If we want to troubleshoot, we just have to log in to the SMS. Everything is listed there. We just have to log in to the gateway we have an issue with. We need not go to the server rooms. I see no improvements needed in the product. The other gateways and SD-WAN could be improved. If someone wishes to use the product, they have chosen the best option. It provides security, reliability, and support. Though it is expensive, it is the best. It has all the features we need. The product is absolutely excellent. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
Alert classifications help prioritize critical issues
What is our primary use case?
We utilize Check Point Security Management for our daily security operations, including managing firewall rules, reviewing alerts, and generating reports on a weekly basis.
How has it helped my organization?
We've integrated Check Point Security Management with some of our business associates' portals for HR, finance, and payroll activities, which are outsourced. Check Point alarms us about any version changes on these sites, allowing us to block unauthorized changes. So far, we haven't encountered any serious incidents that require immediate action. We receive incident reports, but they usually involve blocked or quarantined threats rather than major security breaches. Additionally, our internal management console provides us with alerts, adding another layer of security monitoring.
What is most valuable?
Over the past 1.5 years, we've started monitoring it more regularly, analyzing alerts closely. The most beneficial features for us are the alert classifications, which help us prioritize critical issues, and the detailed reports that provide insights into attack origins and purposes, such as TLS violations or content violations.
While we use a cloud-based Security Control console, we primarily conduct in-depth analysis of reports on a weekly basis to enhance our security posture.
What needs improvement?
Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality.
I'd also like to see enhancements in content filtering and categorization features.
I would appreciate the ability to restrict forwarding of confidential documents to specific groups, ensuring tighter security measures.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Security Management for the past 1.5 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability 9 out of 10.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability 8 out of 10.
How was the initial setup?
We faced issues, but with the help of tech support, it was solved. It took almost one week approximately to set the solution through firewall.
What about the implementation team?
We rely on tech support to enhance our capabilities.
We have a small, focused team of four engineers.
What was our ROI?
Currently, we only use Check Point and are satisfied with its benefits in terms of time-saving and security performance, estimating a 30% time savings.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated another product before Check Point but found the local account manager to be more aggressive.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the product overall at 8 out of 10, mentioning that while functionalities are there, improvements could be made to make it more user-friendly for laymen, such as incorporating drag-and-drop functionality.
