"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."

"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"I like the interface."

"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."

"Check Point Security Management lacks some of the competitor features."
"We'd like to see more and more integration possibilities between Checkpoint and other vendor security solutions such as Malwarebytes, SIEM solution providers, and standalone vulnerability scanners."

"Some of the configuration elements could be improved."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."

"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."

"The tool is expensive."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"Technical support should be improved."
