Check Point Security Management Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Security Management is to centrally manage all my security gateways that are deployed in different branches so that we can configure any policies and get full control of the security gateway from a central location.

In our day-to-day IT team requirements, they need to harden the security policy of the security gateways that are hosted across the branches in different locations. They access the security gateway through Check Point Security Management from a central location, and whatever they want to harden the policy, they can push the configuration from that single console.

Good control, good visibility, and a single console to manage all the security gateways in our organization are the best features of Check Point Security Management.

It will be helpful to meet the compliance of security, so we have full visibility on the configuration part of each and every security gateway, and we can compare the policies that are configured across different security gateways from a single console.

It has impacted positively and has really saved the team time and compliance.

Basically there were multiple teams, the team who handled the security gateways at each location, but now we have a central team where one to two engineers handle all the security gateways.

As of now, I don't see anything that needs to be improved in Check Point Security Management because it is working fine and providing a great console with good visibility and control.

It has been more than three years since I started using Check Point Security Management.

Check Point Security Management is stable.

Check Point Security Management's scalability is excellent.

They are helpful and good in the technical part.

Since starting, we have been using Check Point Security Management only.

It was a great experience, and the sales team really helped us to get a good price and licensing.

I have seen a good rate of return on the investment, so it has really saved our money and time.

We had evaluated FortiGate security management as an alternative.

I will advise anyone having multiple security gateways that they can deploy this solution on the cloud or on-premises to centrally manage from a single console. We are partners. I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.

On-premises

Other

Our main use case for Check Point Security Management is for unified management of our security devices, so our administration can control everything from one centralized interface.

A specific example of how we use Check Point Security Management for shipment security management and administration control is that we have multiple security gateways integrated with security management. For any required configuration, we use the console on security management to implement all changes.

The best features Check Point Security Management offers are Smart Logging and Smart Console, which are helpful for log searching and analysis. While we have raw data, these two tools provide better visibility on incident trends and ensure GDPR compliance.

Smart Log and Smart Console help with visibility and compliance by capturing all events and traffic flow from central management. All users and events are captured in security management, providing full visibility.

Check Point Security Management has positively impacted our organization by providing better administration control and a unified central pane of glass for daily configuration.

A specific outcome demonstrating how Check Point Security Management has helped our organization is the reduction in human error through centralized policy management.

Check Point Security Management can be improved as it requires significant resources, particularly in larger deployments.

We have been using Check Point Security Management for more than three years.

Check Point Security Management is stable.

Check Point Security Management demonstrates good scalability.

The customer support for Check Point Security Management is excellent, as the support engineers are supportive and have excellent knowledge in troubleshooting.

Positive

We are using Check Point Security Management exclusively and have not previously used a different solution.

We have seen a return on investment through reduced cost and time.

Before choosing Check Point Security Management, we evaluated FortiManager.

My advice for anyone looking into using Check Point Security Management is to look for the centralized single pane of glass to manage security devices.

I rate Check Point Security Management 8 out of 10 because of its unified console, usability, and proper reporting capabilities.

On-premises

My main use case for Check Point Security Management is centralizing my different gateways into the company, because I have a gateway in Azure and on-premise, and I typically use it for day-to-day management.

My main use case for Check Point Security Management also includes monitoring and logs, as I create sites or portals in one centralized portal because I need to see different events in different sites with my gateways.

Check Point Security Management has positively impacted my organization by defining how we oversee and enforce security policies across the entire infrastructure. Instead of juggling multiple consoles, we now have a single, unified view that makes monitoring and response much faster.

The specific outcome is about the saved time because the IT support team reduced their workload by 20% hours a day.

The best features Check Point Security Management offers for me include real granular policy control, as the availability to define very specific rules for different users, applications, and environments ensures that security is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Granular control has helped me in practice. For example, we had a project team working with an external partner who needed access to certain cloud collaboration tools that weren't normally allowed on the corporate network. Using granular policy control, we created a rule that applied only to the team's device and only during working hours, while keeping the rest of the organization restricted. This meant the project could move forward smoothly without compromising overall security.

Another feature worth highlighting is the role-based access control, as it allows us to assign different levels of permission to administrators, auditors, and operations, so each person only sees and manages what's relevant to their role. This reduces the risk of accidental misconfigurations and keeps responsibility clearly separate.

Centralized administration is also a great feature.

Check Point Security Management could be improved by enhancing the documentation, as Check Point needs to create more and easier documentation.

I have been using Check Point Security Management for around six years.

Check Point Security Management is stable.

The scalability of Check Point Security Management is wonderful.

Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft Azure

Check Point Security Management serves as our command center for centrally managing our firewalls and security policies across multi-sites, enabling us to configure rules, monitor traffic, and respond to threats in real-time.

Using SmartConsole, we monitor all network traffic across our gateways in Azure and VPNs to on-premise locations, providing us with a live view of sessions, blocked attempts, and threat indicators. The log monitor tab is especially useful, allowing us to filter by source, destination, and other types for examining different events.

Check Point Security Management offers centralized control, real-time threat visibility, and automation tools that streamline security operations across complex environments. The unified management console, SmartConsole in this case, acts as a single pane of glass for managing firewalls, gateways, and related infrastructure.

A significant strength of Check Point Security Management is the role-based access control, which allows us to delegate specific tasks such as log review, policy editing, and threat analysis to different teams without compromising security.

Check Point Security Management has positively impacted our organization by improving efficiency. Centralized policy management has drastically reduced the time we spend configuring and deploying rules across multiple gateways from hours to minutes, thanks to SmartConsole and automated policy deployment.

Check Point Security Management could be improved by enhancing its user interface, expanding third-party integrations, and refining reports and automation capabilities to make it more intuitive and scalable for diverse enterprise environments.

I have been using Check Point Security Management for five years.

Check Point Security Management is very stable.

Check Point Security Management's scalability is also very good.

The setup process of Check Point Security Management was mostly smooth, though we encountered a few surprises along the way.

The relevant metrics for return on investment is the time saved.

Since implementing Check Point Security Management, we have saved approximately 10 to 15 hours per week due to a significant reduction in manual workload and incident response times.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is moderate because I need to be informed when deploying these different tools. The department expert handles this in our case.

I would advise others looking into using Check Point Security Management to give it a try. When companies look for a centralized security solution, they should use Check Point Security Management. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft Azure

My main use case for Check Point Security Management is for centralizing my different gateways in different sites, such as Azure, on-premise, and other clouds, which allows me to control, see events, and make different policies over my security in different sites at the same time.

Managing those different sites with Check Point Security Management is much easier because the policies can be applied centrally and pushed out across Azure, on-premise, and other cloud environments, allowing me to update changes in one management console that automatically syncs everywhere, which saves time and avoids inconsistency. Monitoring events is also streamlined since all logs and alerts feed into the single dashboard.

One unique aspect of our setup with Check Point Security Management is how we manage policies across both traditional on-premise firewalls and multiple cloud environments simultaneously, relying on a centralized console to push consistent rules everywhere, which keeps our workflow simple and avoids misconfigurations.

yes

The best feature of Check Point Security Management for me is the Advanced Threat Prevention because it integrates protection against malware, phishing, and network attacks in different blades or gateways, alongside centralized policy management.

One more feature worth highlighting about Check Point Security Management is how advanced threat prevention and centralized policy management work together to simplify our daily operations, as threat prevention tools automatically block malware and phishing attempts across all environments while centralized policies ensure those protections apply consistently everywhere, significantly reducing the gaps between sites or platforms and lessening the team's troubleshooting time.

Check Point Security Management has positively impacted our organization by streamlining different policy management in a single console, and incident response has also become faster because all alerts and logs feed into one security tool or management tool, giving us immediate visibility without needing to switch between tools.

Check Point Security Management could be improved with better reporting and dashboard customization options, as having more tailored insights for different stakeholders would enhance visibility, but this is a minor concern.

I have been using Check Point Security Management for five years.

In my experience, Check Point Security Management is very stable.

Check Point Security Management is very scalable in our organization, and we have had no problems with it at all.

My main use case for Check Point Security Management is controlling and viewing different events in gateways.

When I need to control or publish different policies in my different gateways in Azure or on-premise, I publish in one site when I am controlling it.

When I need to create different or new policies or rules, I find it is more controlling and faster when I use Check Point Security Management because I can publish in one site for all gateways.

The best features Check Point Security Management offers include the opportunity to add different gateways and add different blades in my gateways, and the monitoring is excellent and it is easier to work in different instances.

Managing different gateways and blades in Check Point Security Management saves our time.

Check Point Security Management has positively impacted my organization because the department can publish different policies or search different events or try to know different threats in one security management center for different gateways.

I reduce the time when I need to publish different policies in different gateways, but I need to publish at the same time.
