Easy to set up and stable with good technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is easy."
  • "You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily for the endpoint as a firewall-type Blade. We implement several different Blades.

What is most valuable?

The solution is pretty reliable.

The initial setup is easy.

The stability is very good.

Technical support is pretty good.

What needs improvement?

I cant speak to any aspects that are lacking. We don't feel there are any missing features. 

You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been dealing with the solution for three or four years at this point. it's been a while now. 

We do use full encryption at this point. Right now, this is just encrypting the hard drives. If you put any type of foreign device in, you have the option to, if you want, utilize it, however, you have to make the choice of encrypting it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution offers good stability. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. the performance is reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't really have too many thoughts on scalability. I used to work with it to a certain point, and that was just initially trying to get it implemented and set up. After that, we realized that it's a full-time endeavour. When you mess with the endpoint, you might actually mess with the workstations. I'm not on the help desk or a part of the service team. I'm the network person. I don't get into the day-to-day of pushing updates or making sure that certain Blades were implemented on end user devices and stuff like that.

I'm not sure of the exact number of people on the solution at this time.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is really good. They are quite reliable and responsive. We've been satisfied with the level of support they have provided.

How was the initial setup?

My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex. however, I didn't personally implement it. It's not a complex process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't handle the pricing or anything like that. I don't actually get involved in the pricing or licensing aspects of the product.

What other advice do I have?

We're just customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with Check Point. 

We likely use the most recent version of the solution, however, I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's a pretty robust product and we're satisfied with its capabilities.
