Our main use case for Check Point Security Management is to centrally manage our multiple gateways to push any configuration centralized.

A standout feature of Check Point Security Management is its user-friendly interface, which is easy to understand, and we can easily generate custom reports to present to our management team.

In terms of custom reporting, we generally generate reports such as top 10 or top 20 users consuming more bandwidth or top 10 risky users, helping us have visibility into users accessing malicious websites or security events that happened recently.

After deploying Check Point Security Management, we improved our productivity by integrating all devices into a single console instead of managing separate log-ins for each branch's gateways, making our admin team's tasks easier.

I have noticed that it has reduced errors because when configuring through the security management, a single configuration is pushed to all gateways, saving time and reducing mistakes.

It can be improved because sometimes it lags when accessing the management gateway.

I have been with my current organization for more than four years, and I have more than 10 years of experience in this field.

Check Point Security Management is stable, but there are some lags.

The scalability is outstanding and handles growth and increased demand very well.

The support team is outstanding, helping us with troubleshooting when we require technical support.

Before choosing Check Point Security Management, we evaluated Fortinet.

Everything looks perfect right now.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Check Point Security Management an 8.

We are using Check Point Security Management to centrally manage and configure the firewalls in our day-to-day operations.

In my scenario, while using Check Point Security Management, there are more than one gateways, so we create policies or any modification regarding IPS or VPNs or application control policies. We centrally enforce all these configurations or modifications from centralized security management.

Based on my experience with Check Point Security Management, the best part is that we can enforce all configurations such as firewall policy or application control across all managed gateways. We can also generate compliance reports based on our requirements. We are using this central management for simplified configuration.

We need central management for our policy, monitoring, and different day-to-day administrative tasks, so Check Point Security Management fits all the requirements for our needs. As we know, Check Point Security Management can be used for central policy management. It is an all-in-one management system. We can manage firewalling, application control, URL filtering, IPS, Anti-Bot, and Threat Emulation. We can unify the rule base and reduce it in one central management console called SmartConsole. That is our main use case for this product.

I can use one console for access lists, application control, managing day-to-day reporting, granular access control, managing large and segmented environments with multiple domains or customers, and integrating threat management with that console. It has summed up the tasks in one console, which is our specific use case.

We can manage one firewall in one site, one cluster in one of our sites, and another cluster in another site with a single console. This feature allows us to manage large and sophisticated management tasks in one console, which is why it is called Multi-Domain Security Management.

The granular and general access control allows us to centralize our policy management in one console for firewall, application control, URL filtering, IPS, Anti-Bot, Threat Emulation, and Threat Extraction. It is unified in one console, allowing us to unify the rule base to reduce complexity. These features are beneficial, and the system is scalable.

Administrators are operational, so it creates operational efficiency through faster rollouts of change with policy packages, creating faster and easier operational day-to-day activities.

I strongly admire the compliant support feature. It creates detailed logs, audit trails, and customizable reports. It has excellent reporting features including the threat blades, threat prevention blades, and firewalling blades. I can comply with this and provide it for auditors, which makes it an interesting feature.

Performance with logs needs improvement as Check Point Security Management has large-scale environments that need dedicated log servers. If you store logs on the central management server or Check Point SMS, it will create resource-intensive tasks. When the logs are too heavy for the security management server, the CPU spike will be high, causing our management day-to-day activity to lag or become difficult. This needs to be improved. Additionally, the resource demands need improvement. For example, log indexing related to SmartEvent needs strong servers, which should be improved for the future.

I have been deploying Check Point Security Management products for almost three years.

It is stable for our clients.

It is scalable because it can manage different gateways or different firewalls in different sites. It can be multi-domain Security Management server and can manage large or segmented environments with multiple domains or customers.

For management, we did not use another solution. We just used Cisco ASA on that single firewall which can be managed through CLI. We switched from Cisco ASA, but that was not management; it was a firewall.

We considered other vendors such as FortiGate and Palo Alto firewalls. We chose Check Point Security Management server because we selected Check Point for our firewall.

I rate Check Point Security Management nine out of ten because it has good features. I decreased one point due to the performance and resource demanding issues on the log indexing, and SmartEvent needs strong servers, which needs to be considered.

It is deployed on-premises and is not costly. The management server can be expensive, but it excels at what it does.

Check Point Security Management server centralizes our policy management by unifying the firewalling features and threat prevention features to manage it in one console. It creates ease and operational efficiency. We save time and increase our day-to-day operational efficiency by removing management complexity.

If you want to centralize your policy management such as firewalling, application control, URL filtering, and different threat prevention features, and unify your rule base to reduce operational complexity, you need to use Check Point Security Management.

My main use case for Check Point Security Management is as a firewall. I have connected it in my office premises as a firewall. The people who connect to the internet in the internal network have their packet captures go through the firewall itself, ensuring everything is safe and secure.

The best feature Check Point Security Management offers is the GUI. The GUI shows everything in different categories such as mobile phones, connected devices, laptops, and desktops. It displays everything in different dashboards, making it easy to understand what is connected to what.

Having that dashboard helps me in my day-to-day work because it saves time. It shows all the devices that have been connected and how many devices are connected in different ways. Through this, I am able to track how many laptops and mobile phones have occupied my IP addresses.

If I had to pick one thing that could make my experience even better, I would say they need to change the support resolution time. Everything else meets expectations.

I have been using Check Point Security Management for 1.8 years.

Check Point Security Management is stable in my experience with no downtime.

Regarding scalability, I have given the rating of nine out of ten. The support is the only aspect having a glitch; everything else is satisfactory.
