Check Point Application Control Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is security, threat prevention, antivirus, and ransomware. You can use it for everything.

The most valuable feature is the protection from threats.

This solution could be easier to manage. 

The security features could be enhanced, and the price could be lower as well.

I have been familiar with this solution for a year and a half.

This solution is stable and we have not had any issues.

This solution scales nicely.

We have not contacted technical support as of yet.

The initial setup was a bit difficult. Every product has its own difficulties and many products are not equal to each other, which is the reason why it was a bit difficult. 

You have to know the features and where they are located and how they work, the logic and even with the logic you have, you don't know the configuration.

The deployment took one week.

We have our team. We implemented this solution ourselves.

It's a bit expensive and it could be cheaper, but it's part of business politics.

We did evaluate other options but they are approximately the same. They may have some differences, but at first glance, they don't appear to have differences in the functions.

It's a good solution and I suggest it. In general, it can be improved but it's good enough.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

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.
