The solution needs an efficient monitoring platform that provides individual employee data, and performance will boost productivity in the organization. 

Most features perform well since there are few complaints. The security tools should be empowered more to fit daily demands and prevent our systems from advanced threats. 

I recommend the use of this platform to other organizations for reliable application performance.

I've used the solution for two years. 

The application security controls and monitoring tools are powerful.

I am impressed by its great performance.

The customer support staff has been reliable and committed to great service delivery.

Positive

I have not worked with a similar solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The implementation was done by the vendor team, and their level of expertise is excellent.

The recorded ROI has improved from 40% to 65% currently.

The setup cost and licensing terms are efficient.

I evaluated other application control products, however, Check Point Application Control was the best.

This is great system for monitoring application performance and I recommend to others.

The company-based applications have benefited from this software in the enhancement of security and performance acceleration. 

Check Point Application Control monitors all tools' performance and operations in all enterprise activities. 

The reported performance metrics help us allocate resources and unlock hidden business potentials. Over the past year, this product has boosted the end output of all applications and promoted efficient teamwork. Each tool can easily link and integrate with others with set task objectives.

Check Point Application Control has highly improved business operations with modern data control systems. 

It ensures that the health of each application can handle the set tasks and projects without any challenges. 

We have increased workflow performance and improved the service delivery to our clients. 

Data transfer with preferable security measures has enhanced better collaboration among teams. The connection of applications has enabled members to understand the data flow and set goals with real-time reports.

The set security measures integrated with applications help us to identify and set policies that can support our programs. 

It mitigates the security risks that can affect business tools and their implications on the overall production capacity. 

The workflow tracking capacity provides data on all employees working with certain tools and their contributions. 

Check Point Application Control can monitor the operations of many applications at the same time without low-performance experiences. There is increased revenue from the reduced cost of consolidating required security tools.

The set security features have increased the production efficiency of all applications. The new IT team monitoring this system requires proper training in order to execute the targeted goals effectively without failure. 

The set performance monitoring systems are complex to interpret and scale down their operations. 

The customer service team works tirelessly to ensure our teams are satisfied. Cloud network security has kept our assets secure since we deployed with a smooth continuation of other enterprise activities.

I've used the solution for one year and four months.

This product is stable and with high-performance capabilities.

I like the persistence of improving security across the organization from this application.

I have no words for the support team; I really congratulate them on the excellent job!

Positive

I have previously worked with AppDynamics - although the security models did not meet our targets.

It is easy to setup and learn how the product works.

The vendor team did the implementation.

The set targeted ROI has been achieved.

The setup procedure is good and the cost is suitable for most enterprises.

I evaluated operations and performance of AppDynamics.

Check Point Application Control is the best solution for security and performance controls.

It is one of the main solutions that we have applied in our offices for the administrative control of access to specific services social networks within the corporation, viewing of videos or services that in some way distract the worker from their activities. It's also facilitated us with the ability to separate the databases by a gateway which makes the administration and the permissions granted to the end-users much easier.

One of the ways it's helped us improve was in the administration and the permissions for specific services. This was very useful to us when making a database per gateway and configuring them through layers to have better visualization, control, and administration of the rules, which allows new administrators to have a better scope and understanding of the organization. This has undoubtedly been the newest thing for us as gateways administrators.

One of the aspects of the solution that has given us more value is the integration of a domain controller with the firewall through the dashboard which allows that through inline layers, LDAP.

The visualization of users, the administration, and the permissions that we can grant to users makes our configuration a more dynamic environment since, as organizational units of an active directory, we can grant permissions to users to specific applications allowed through the URL filtering or application control within the dashboard.

With Check Point we are more protected, however, one of the issues is the cost. They are expensive products due to the fact that we have to buy blades for each solution that we want to integrate into our corporate. Without a doubt, it is worth it, however, it is an important point that could be considered. 

Likewise, nowadays a 2MFA solution could be integrated to Check Point since nowadays remote connections made with remote workers are required to protect the extension from the office to your home through a VPN connection.

I've used the solution for about three years.

The Check Point solution is very stable, however, the installation of JHF at least once a month is somewhat annoying since that could be interpreted as not being a stable solution.

In terms of scalability, my impressions have always been good since there is a lot of scalability in this service. For example, you can integrate several solutions to a centralized administration.

They have an excellent support team. They are fast and it is easy to escalate any situation.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

The setup was straightforward.

We handle the implementation in-house.

We've seen a 40% ROI.

Despite the somewhat high cost, based on the blades, it is a reliable solution.

We didn't evaluate other solutions.

Before using this solution, I needed to have other network components that would allow me to block or restrict access to unauthorized sites, which generated a very high cost in terms of licensing and maintenance. Now, I can control authorized and unauthorized access to my end-users, and I can control bandwidth and assign a defined bandwidth to guarantee the operation of my company. 

With this solution, I was able to establish and guarantee the security of my end-users using the categories and definitions within the solution. I'm able to easily identify high-risk sites, as well as sites not allowed for explicit content.

In the beginning, I did not have control of the content that my users had access to, which put the integrity of my company at risk. With this solution, I was able to create explicit policies that would adhere to the rules that we established for access to applications. 

Previously, I had 2 appliances from another brand to control the traffic of applications and to control bandwidth. It is a very simple product to administer with amazing potential endowed within a large database of applications and is constantly updated.

The automatic updates of new applications and signatures guarantee protection at all times without the need to apply a change manually. This has been largely beneficial to my organization and only on a couple of occasions have I had a problem with legacy applications being applied to a filter incorrectly. We've solved this by documenting them in the Check Point portal to ensure they are not listed as a malicious application or IP. There is a large database of applications that have been incorporated together with the traffic control tool assigning a defined bandwidth for certain applications.

It's important that there is the option to validate the policies before applying them since it is very annoying and causes a waste of time to apply a new policy or rule and afterward receive an error that the policy has failed. 

It is important that, if you are being notified of the modifications in the automatic policies that were updated, it's clear in terms of the content that is included as well as the applications that have been modified for being malicious or not. 

Without a doubt, these would be contributions that would greatly benefit the solution's operation within my company.

I've worked with the solution for 5 years.

In some equipment, the scaling is very good, however, it depends on the equipment that is purchased and if there is correct sizing.

Yes, I made the change because I tried a demo and it seemed like a great product.

It is a very safe and stable product.

The licensing is very good. We always rely on an authorized dealer to ensure proper operation and sizing.

Yes, I evaluated Cisco, Palo Alto, and Fortinet.

Not at this time. 

Check Point has provided us with a Check Point management server tool where we manage our Gateways. It helped us limit the applications, sites, and different actions that are part of the users' daily lives. We can limit with granularly the applications that users access.  

Segmentation is key. We managed to divide everything by department to be able to generate the security that each one requires. Now, managers have greater flexibility.

This product or feature included in our security admin has helped us a lot to be able to control our users. It helps us with effectiveness since users can use laptops correctly, being more productive.

It has also been possible to avoid modern threats that can enter and attack user equipment, servers, and the business network. These attacks would affect work continuity in addition to company data that could be affected.

The most important characteristic is granularity, which allows our teams to have different security profiles depending on the department to be protected.

There is also a list of applications pre-loaded in the systems to be able to have blocks or permissions to use different applications.

Finally, the licensing of our Check Point gateways, which are not licensed separately, provides an advantage.

Check Point licenses are somewhat expensive, in addition to the fact that it is difficult to validate their costs without a Check Point partner - which is why it is difficult to validate them.

Support is only available in the English language, which affects some regions where Check Point products will be used.

The SLAs of checkpoint products are sometimes not met since the cases created are sometimes attended to very late after opening them.                     

We have used this solution for at least five years in its different versions. It has helped us a lot with business security.

We have not previously used any product like this.

The costs should be reviewed with a partner of Check Point. As for the implementation, it is really simple.

Several proofs of concepts were carried out, and Check Point was the best.

This is an excellent product.

With the growing technological advances that the organization is having and the data that the company needs to protect is no longer just at the perimeter area. We also need to protect the applications that are being developed, and we need to develop, grow, and deliver tailored services for different companies. We have looked for a line of security that could contemplate establishing and securing each of the lines of fire that could possibly be attacked at the moment that we made available a new application and a new service for each user or customer. They have come to have great importance in our company.

Check Point Application Control has allowed us to integrate more capabilities by limiting the use of applications. Categories can classify things so we can segment each of the features to control granularity and integrate next-generation firewall security. This allows us to consolidate security controls by reducing the costs that the company will have to invest in when it comes to having Next Generation security. This is one of the best reasons why we have invested in solutions of this type because they give us the ability to have less expense with greater security, having first-world innovation and security.

Among the features that we have used, we like being able to identify the identity of the user who is doing transactions. Thanks to that, we have greater control, and management, and have the possibility of establishing limits and controlling each of the actions that the user will establish in the application. Based on the control and capabilities of the solution, we can say today that the added value and capabilities of its features make it the ideal security solution for any company.

Seeing the capabilities and features that we are using today, we can say that we could expect an additional feature that could allow us to integrate this management and even security with APIs. Establishing passwords, communicating, and all the traffic of command data services could be established through this type of connection, and we could take advantage of secure and stable connections. This gives us the possibility to establish, place and secure the data in a safer way.

The company has been around for about a year. For a few months, we have been implementing the solution to protect and control the issue of applications in the Next Generation firewalls.

This software monitors the performance of applications across the company. It provides comprehensive security for all the tools contributing to the company's growth. 

Check Point Application Control has created reliable data management policies that guide employees on how to interact effectively with applications. The software assigns each sector the most suitable working tools to easily implement projects and tasks. 

We were able to customize it and make efficient configurations with data models.

This platform has fully secured our applications with very powerful firewall security upgrades. 

It has taught employees how to protect their work tools from external security threats. The system has a secure database that keeps information on applications in a secure environment. 

It interconnects easily any network platform that faces challenges restoring normalcy. It updates applications for compliance. It unlocks hidden security barriers that affect workflows.

All the features collaborate in the management of application security. Granular control monitors the models that create a given application. 

It tracks down the performance of all the given tools in the system to ensure there is reliable performance. 

Application groupings simplify the work of monitoring operations and checking the security situation of the entire production chain. Next-Generation Firewalls identify any malware attacks that could harm data and slow down operations. 

The Network Security monitoring system has enhanced the safety of the company's cloud-based servers.

The learning curve for new users is challenging since the integrated data models are complicated. 

The system slows down when the company has a lot of applications. 

New versions that are upgraded rarely come with new market updates. 

The cost and deployment capacity is based on the size of the company. The overall performance is excellent when the system administrators from the company work closely with the vendor-customer support team. 

It has enhanced a secure work environment and enabled employees to focus on more productive tasks.

I've used the solution for 12 months.

It is stable and highly productive.

It is highly scalable with perfect performance.

The customer support staff is dedicated to their work, and I will always cherish their great support.

The stability is good. thee are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable. 

You can scale the solution as needed.

We have 2,000 users on the product currently.

We do plan to increase usage and will add more of it as we add more employees to the organization.

Technical support is knowledgeable and quite good when it comes to helping out its user base. We are very satisfied with their level of support.

The implementation process is straightforward and very easy. It's a central department controlled by the console, the main console, which makes it straightforward once you populate it to all of the endpoints.

We do need to pay a yearly subscription in order to access the product.

We are internally using this product in our company. We are not offering it to customers. 

It's deployed directly on our laptops. 

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.
