Simplified threat detection and reduced policy deployment time
The standout features of Check Point Security Management are unified policy management, real-time visibility, and automation capabilities, making it a powerful tool for security management. Consistency across environments with Check Point Security Management helps me ensure that instead of maintaining separate rules for firewalls, cloud workloads, and data centers, we apply one unified policy that covers them all. This reduces misconfigurations and ensures compliance, proving to be a time-saver because rolling out a new rule or updating an existing one takes minutes, not hours, because it is propagated everywhere automatically. Automation is one of the most valuable aspects of Check Point Security Management, and it often does not get enough attention compared to headline features like unified policies or visibility. With policy automation, routine tasks such as rule creation, compliance checks, or policy updates can be automated, reducing human error and saving hours of manual work. Check Point Security Management has simplified administration in my organization because instead of juggling multiple consoles, everything is managed from a single pane of glass. This has reduced complexity and saved significant time for our IT team, improving our operational efficiency. For a policy update, I used to spend two or three hours across multiple consoles. Now, with unified management in Check Point Security Management, it takes thirty to forty minutes, resulting in about a seventy percent reduction in effort, greatly boosting productivity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering."
"Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"Check Point Security Management really shines when it comes to giving security teams control without complexity, as it is built for scale but still lets you move quickly when threats emerge or policies need to change."
"Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"The Check Point Security Management has improved the management of all our Security Check Point Gateway Firewalls across the bank, simplifying our response and support for all our security network devices and proving far better and less daunting than products that need to be managed individually."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"The reporting system provides real-time insights into the security situation and shows measures that can be taken to protect our data."
"Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox."
"The totality of the recordings is quite important. The networks, the new threat actors, the new methods, tactics, techniques, and procedures."
"We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable."
"The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."
"The cost of the solution versus the cost of an incident that may have been prevented with it shows a very high ROI."
"Threat Intelligence is very stable."
 

Cons

"There's a lot of logs, and I'm unsure about their validity, however, they take up a lot of space. We had to provision the virtual machine twice."
"The interface can be overwhelming for new users, and simplifying rule creation, offering guided workflows or templates will reduce onboarding time."
"It would be great if the SmartView Monitor could become integrated into the SmartView Console Platform."
"The tool is expensive."
"Check Point Security Management can be improved because for smaller organizations with only a single or a couple of devices, there is no need for the management. They are required to use the management system, which increases costs for smaller organizations."
"Check Point Security Management lacks some of the competitor features."
"Check Point could possibly lighten up the software code so that it is not as resource-intensive and will run more smoothly on a variety of hardware and cloud or virtual machine platforms."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions."
"The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions."
"Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved."
"The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."
"As the landscape evolves, they could provide a little more detail or specificity to map it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product can be used for 25 security gateways on a basic license."
"The pricing can be estimated around 3 or 4 out of 10 in terms of expense."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive."
"The solution is expensive and there is an annual license."
"The solution is expensive."
"If one will be very expensive, and ten means low price, I rate the tool's price as a three out of ten."
"Price-wise, it is an expensive solution."
"Check Point is much cheaper than the competition ($4/server as compared to $17/server)."
"The pricing is alright. It's right on the mark."
"Threat Intelligence is costly, but it gives value for money."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence's pricing is reasonable."
