We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Cisco NGIPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The autonomous threat prevention is very easy to use. The APIs and SmartConsole tool also work well."
"It offers robust protection with features such as Next Generation firewall capabilities, mobile solutions, and proactive threat prevention."
"There's less admin burden to detect these threats as Check Point IPS will do it all for you and suggest the best preventive actions to protect the network."
"IPS easily allows follow-up flags on recently updated patterns. If, in rare cases, a false positive does occur, it is quickly detected and an exception can be easily created."
"The Check Point IPS module allows me granularity in creating rules."
"It is easy to configure."
"Check Point helps reduce downtime and costs associated with detected cyberattacks and can block those threats to ensure protection from any significant damage that may be caused within the organization."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the product's stability has been very good. The"
"This is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature would be the IPS is very important in Cisco Firepower because I can configure deep configuration in IPS and tuning."
"Ir's signature-based. We are also using the anomaly baseline formation, where it links the network, then anything that goes away from the norm is also flagged. Those are the two most valuable features."
"It has helped to improve our cybersecurity and our network security posture."
"It is salable and technically sound."
"NGIPS' best feature is the separate IPSec tunnels, which makes the user's data more secure if they want to access it privately."
"The traffic filter of this solution is very valuable to us, and to our clients."
"The cost is the most valuable feature."
"The only thing they could maybe improve is that we notice right away that the performance decreases when we enable the IPS, especially beyond the CPU and memory usage. If you want to enable the IPS and you have a lot of traffic, it can have an impact. The performance could be improved."
"There is a performance impact on the NGFW post-enabling the IPS blade/Module, which can even lead to downtime if IPS starts to monitor or block high-volume traffic."
"There is an issue with precision."
"I observed on our management that sometimes IPS does not connect to the threat cloud, we have to check and improve it. Otherwise, all of the features are good."
"The dashboard reports can be easier to generate and customize."
"The solution’s deployment could be easier."
"When exceptions need to be done for certain profiles, it is easy to get them done, however, implementation on some general ones may cause some extra work as the IPS is not easy to overwrite."
"I would like to have the possibility of adding features to this IPS solution in the future."
"The file trajectory, the trace in contamination files, could be improved."
"The onboarding process could be made a little bit better."
"In the next release I would like to see better reporting. I also find it's hard to act on the data it gives you."
"Should include additional security features."
"I would like to see integration with monitoring tools such as Nagios or BMC."
"The solution would be better if it offered customers more integrations and more signatures."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because it requires a lot of configuration, firewall and zoning."
"Some Next-Generation Firewall solutions come with Intrusion Prevention. It would be nice if Cisco NGIPS included that."
Check Point IPS is ranked 3rd in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) with 46 reviews while Cisco NGIPS is ranked 5th in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) with 63 reviews. Check Point IPS is rated 8.6, while Cisco NGIPS is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Check Point IPS writes "Great for detection and access with the capabilities of defining specific rules". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Cisco NGIPS writes "Very effective for malware and signature-based anomalies but stability needs improvement". Check Point IPS is most compared with Darktrace, Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB, Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention, Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System and Fortinet FortiGate IPS, whereas Cisco NGIPS is most compared with Fortinet FortiGate IPS, Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System, Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention, Cisco Sourcefire SNORT and Trellix Intrusion Prevention System.
