Check Point Application Control Reviews

The main use case is blocking unwanted applications. For example, I want to block Facebook chat while still being able to view posts. I also use granular level control for categories on YouTube, like blocking adult content. This application control is used to block or allow certain traffic based on my organization's needs.

Both granular application control and real-time threat prevention are very useful. In my organization, I initially block everything and then allow only what is required. This approach ensures that only necessary applications like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Teams, and Microsoft Office 365 are allowed. This method provides precise control over application access.

Check Point Application Control can be improved by offering more granular levels of control. For example, in WhatsApp, there should be deep-level control to manage attachments and ensure that links do not open if they're not allowed by the environment.

I've been using the application control feature for the past two years as part of my operational tasks. This includes setting policies, giving access to specific applications, blocking unwanted applications, and providing granular access at the application level.
