Check Point Web Gateway Reviews

Many of our clients use Check Point Web Gateway as a cloud base, firewall, and DPI for their security assets. All of this is deployed on the cloud. Because we are the service provider, we can use the SDN technology to connect to our customer and take the traffic to the Check Point cloud.

The Check Point Web Gateway features I find the most valuable are the customer-facing ones, like the malware and internet tech. I think this solution is very helpful to our customers because its cloud-based security can be deployed quickly and maintained easily. Check Point Web Gateway also comes with a particular sharing model, as it's deployed on the cloud on a monthly renting model. This is very different from the legacy price. 

I have not come across anything that would need to be improved as I have only worked with Check Point Web Gateway for about two years. 

Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function. Their competitors can deploy all data via AG Subway on mobile devices, giving customers access from the endpoint. This option has been available for some four years now at Check Point Web Gateway's competitors. 

I have been using this solution for nearly two years now.

I think Check Point Web Gateway is stable.

Check Point Web Gateway is more scalable than legacy solutions, but all of this depends on a company's scaling requirements. 

Check Point Web Gateway's tech support answers tickets very quickly.

Whether the initial setup is easy will depend on the cloud space - public, private, or hybrid, that you will use for the deployment. This will depend on the customer's requirements. 

We actually provide deployment services. 

The number of engineers that we dispatch for a specific deployment will depend on the customer. The most basic deployment will require two engineers. Overall, deployment will take two days. 

I can't really say too much about the ROI we've had from Check Point Web Gateway because I am responsible for the tech support.

Setup costs, pricing, and licensing is different in each country. We provide licensing for Taiwan. 

We have the Check Point Firewall as a perimeter gateway and we are using it across seven geolocations. Each location has a cluster. We use it to block high-risk and malicious websites and applications. It enforces compliance policies and regulations at each of the sites.

With this Web gateway, we are secure and it protects our applications or URL with multi-layer architecture security. We are using web security, URL filtering, and antivirus, and we will enable the HTTPS inspection shorty.

Check Point Web Gateway has improved our inbound and outbound traffic for applications or websites and related queries with features such as URL Filtering. It can control access to websites based on URLs to prevent employees from accessing malicious or inappropriate content and also we enforce bandwidth on streaming services.

These are very good features for us.

We can also now easily identify which users are accessing which URLs, and we can control access based upon them.

Application control allows the administrator to create granular policies based on users to allow, block, or limit access.

With Check Point Web Gateway, we have found the following features the most valuable:

1. URL Filtering
2. Application Control
3. Antivirus

URL filtering allows us to control websites based on URL contents and whether any inappropriate content or any malicious content is there.

It allows us to enforce bandwidth restrictions on a specific destination or URL, where some streaming service content is available.

URL filtering management is based on the URL, users, and groups, where access can be either granted or denied.

Most of the time, we are struggling when it comes to getting support. Due to this, we have now have taken TAM support and have also taken third-party support for this product. Generally, the support experience is not what we expect from Check Point.  

We have been using this solution for more than one year.

Overall, Check Point is a very good solution, although the price and other licensing costs are something that you have to check.

In summary, Check Point Web Security is a very good solution for us. We have been using it for a long time and we use all of the aspects. For security concerns, Check Point Web Security is the best solution with features such as URL filtering, application control, and antivirus.

It is primarily used for highlighting the threats that are coming from various locations. We are using its latest version.

It is very stable.

It is expensive. Its price should be better.

I have been using this solution for the last seven to eight years.

It is very stable.

It is extremely scalable. We have close to 3,000 users who are using it.

We have required technical support quite a few times, and it has been very forthcoming from Check Point. I am satisfied with their support.

We didn't use any other solution.

It was easy to install. It took close to a week to fully deploy it, make it operational, and manage it.

We are an integrator of this solution. There are two engineers who are managing it.

It is expensive. Licensing is on a yearly basis. You need to do the support subscription.

I would definitely recommend this solution. I would rate Check Point Web Gateway a seven out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is as firewall and, because I'm a student, when I work on my studies.

The interface is simply amazing. It is really user-friendly and it has improved our organization a lot.

I would like to see an integration of the interfaces in the next release.

I haven't had any stability issues to date, so I can honestly say that it is very stable.

The solution is scalable.

So far the technical support has been very good.

I've done a couple of VM installations, and they are all very straightforward.

This program is very, very expensive.

Not really. I was searching for a security product because the one we used, didn't work very well. I immediately chose Check Point Web Gateway because of its great features.

I will recommend this product to others, but I think there should be an improvement in interface integration. And a drop in price would also be a huge improvement. If I had to rate Check Point Web Gateway from one to ten, I will give it a seven.
