"The solution's IPS functionality and firewall functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point IPS is the management of devices and policies."
"Its event analysis and centralization features are very important for any organization."
"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."
"This is a very stable product."
"I have used multiple solutions, but its graphical user interface is quite interesting and quite descriptive. There are a lot of video animations, and we can easily see how the data is transferred between various points. That's something really interesting. It is also quite easy to understand for a new user."
"The most valuable feature is that it works autonomously."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it does not require human intervention to eliminate a threat."
"I like the dashboards, which are cool. They are more user-friendly, in my experience. Its learning capabilities are really good."

"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."
"After the R80 release, there are almost all feature sets available under IPS Configuration. However, further to this, adding a direct vulnerability scan based on ports and protocol for every zone (LAN, DMZ, or Outside) will make Check Point very different compared to other vendors on the market."
"It is generally good, but improving the performance would be the one thing I'd take a look at right now."
"The tool's pricing could be better."
"It would be good to update the public documentation of Check Point so that we can generate improvements and best practices based on the documentation."
"The area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required consist of support availability."
"Enhancements are necessary for the proficiency of notifications in the event of a Social Security incident, whether through email or alternative channels such as SMS."

"In an upcoming release, there could be more customizable playbooks or a library of playbooks to choose from."
"It would be helpful if they could recognize incidents and simplify the customer's challenge to identify what is happening."
"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"A reporting portal could be a great addition to help customize reports."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Darktrace could expand into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and combine it with its network detection."
