Check Point Power-1 [EOL] Reviews

At the time, our platform was on-premise and a tool was needed that would provide network security. The implementation of Check Point Power-1 provided us with protection and advanced threat prevention. We were also able to have a broad panorama of the network traffic and be able to identify malicious activity or vulnerabilities and thus be able to proceed to block them through security policies. In addition to that, the tool has a firewall and VPN to be able to perform more gradual connections. In this way, we were able to keep our entire data center free from malicious attacks.

Check Point Power-1 managed to solve many security problems that we had on our platform. It has excellent protection features and network traffic-blocking activities, ensuring comprehensive defense against potential cyber threats.

With it, we were able to keep our end devices well protected. Having this security also helped us improve our security posture in general and helped us to comply with the security standards and requirements for certifications more efficiently and consistently.

This tool has helped my organization improve security, safeguard confidential information, and maintain a high level of trust with clients and partners across all our operations.

The tool contains several valuable features that make it very efficient, such as:

• Firewalls to help with the inspection and control of network traffic
• A VPN that allows users to connect remotely and securely
• Intrusion prevention to detect and block malicious traffic
• Anti-malware protection which detects and blocks malicious software

These are some of the valuable features that help an organization to be able to maintain complete security and to be able to protect all its networks from cyber attacks and malicious activities.

Check Point Power-1 (EOL) has reached the end of its useful life, yet at the time, they could to make some changes such as:

• Integration in the cloud. It is the new trend, however, Check Point has already contemplated this and already has its own cloud device.
• Automation. As the automatic creation and application of policies, this would have been very beneficial.
• Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time.

They must also make some improvements in their support departments since they do not comply with the SLAs that they provide.

It has been approximately si 7 years since it was implemented.

The solution offers excellent stability has not failed since it was implemented.

It has excellent scalability and functionality.

They must improve customer service and improve response times, and case resolutions.

Positive

This was our first network security tool.

The initial installation and configuration can be difficult without some prior knowledge.

It was implemented with engineers from the supplier who were very good at their work.

Before making an investment in security tools, a study must be made of the characteristics and requirements that the company needs to be able to take advantage and not waste money.

The tool does have a high cost compared to others on the market. Still, it has more features.

Several alternatives on the market were evaluated, including Sophos, Fortinet, and Ubiquiti.

It is an excellent tool that provides secure connections.

1. It is easy to operate and manage with an intuitive GUI.
2. It helps you to exams network traffic deeply which help you create critical rules easily.
3. It has reporting, web content filtering, VPN services all in one box

1. Power related issues -- occurs frequently.
2. It is bigger and more expensive than Cisco's Firewall ASA product
3. I have to pay Check Point for every new service I integrate in the firewall and it also has license related issue which needs to renew every years.
4. Checkpoint support is not get able very easily from my location.

In my opinion it is right product at enterprise level network to protect the user and server from external and internal threats and attacks
