| Senior Security Consultant at a tech consulting company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | I've used Check Point Web Gateway for four years; it offers strong usability and real-time threat intelligence, though lacks some features and scalability. Setup takes time, but management is excellent. I’d rate it 7 out of 10. |
| Customer Support Executive at Simadrig | 4.0 | I’ve used Check Point Web Gateway for three years and value its multi-layered defense and remote access, though support delays under pressure are frustrating. Deployment is easy and the product provides solid security, earning it an eight out of ten. |
| Key Account Manager at ITBiz Solutions | 4.5 | I am experienced with Check Point Web Gateway, which excels in integration and AI development. It includes various solutions in a basic bundle, unlike Fortinet, which needs extra purchases. Improvements are needed in visibility and performance, especially on Linux endpoints. |
| Senior Manager ICT & Innovations at Bangalore International Airport Limited | 4.0 | We use Check Point Web Gateway for web traffic filtering and security, and its user-friendly interface alerts us to proxy use. Although the documentation needs improvement, we have optimized bandwidth and reduced internet costs by 40%, achieving a solid ROI. |
| Senior IT Security Engineer at ensec AG | 3.5 | I use Check Point Web Gateway as an end-user proxy to filter websites and prevent malware. The HTTPS inspection, application control, and URL filtering are valuable, but setup can be complex, and updates affect stability. Authentication options are limited. |
| System Security Engineer at Punch Powertrain nv | 4.5 | I use Check Point Web Gateway to manage company traffic, maintaining compliance by blocking sites. It's user-friendly and valuable for UI and access. While response time can improve, the ROI is excellent, making it cost-effective without considering alternatives. |
| Cyber SOC Manager at Tower Research Capital | 5.0 | I find the granularity of Check Point Web Gateway's security policy highly valuable as it offers in-depth application control, such as selectively blocking specific features like Facebook chat. We switched from Forcepoint to Check Point for this advanced functionality. |
| Information Technology Technician at Smoothtel & Data Solutions Ltd | 5.0 | I use Check Point Web Gateway to monitor and control traffic. Its best feature is observing traffic flow between gateways, allowing centralized management. However, the tool's availability could be improved, enhancing its functionality for users like me. |
