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.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Throughout my professional career I have operated, implemented, and designed solutions with Checkpoint's NGFW for clients of all kinds - public and private, small and large."
"The Check Point Security Management has improved the management of all our Security Check Point Gateway Firewalls across the bank."
"It's a stable and complete product that is easy to use and capable of managing their next-gen firewall infra around the globe without compromises."
"It has allowed global worldwide access to our cloud infrastructure."
"It's a great complete endpoint security solution that prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing, or malware."
"The reporting system provides real-time insights into the security situation and shows measures that can be taken to protect our data."
"All limitations above can be solved with Check Point Management API."
"One of the most outstanding characteristics of its centralized administration is its great computing power."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The initial setup was very simple and straightforward, according to our security team."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is useful for log and alert correlation and is a full-function SIEM solution."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer was a lower-cost alternative, and it was easier to install and manage."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
 

Cons

"Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality."
"At least once a day, the application crashes with some random error message. Then you have to close it out and open it up again."
"It could improve by showing DNS-specific information for connections to unknown public IPs."
"I would like it to be the administrator of equipment or Next Generation firewalls (which have to be managed on this platform) and to be able to manage other services (like Harmony) that also belong to Check Point."
"The reporting should be improved in future releases. It needs to be very explicit. This is very important."
"Check Point Security Management could be improved by enhancing the documentation, as Check Point needs to create more and easier documentation."
"The usability of the solution could be improved."
"Do the homework because Check Point is rather expensive. There are better firewalls on the market now that are cheaper and provide better functionality and security."
"The product does not have certain advantages, especially the correlation tools. It was not working as per our expectations."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The scalability is limited."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities, the authentication, when a person logs onto a network device."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
