Has an improved GUI, unified security management, and is fairly easy to deploy

Pros

"Its security and the definition of signatures are pretty good. Especially when you use those firewalls for a website, they pick up the signature very quickly. "

Cons

"There may be some latency. "

Cost-effective, supports automation, and provides good security

Pros

"The most important feature is that we are able to use Check Point CloudGuard Firewall for our cloud security. We can make the deployment automated. We do not require manual intervention. "

Cons

"We have done a lot of automation with the firewall, but sometimes, there are some failures because of some bugs. The fixes for them are still not available. We have daily or weekly communication with the Check Point people giving support in the India region, but we have not seen much improvement or response to our requests for some additional features. "

Highly reliable, great visibility, and centralized management

Pros

"The number of options it gives for deployment or security is valuable. When it comes to security, it has a feature that is super awesome for zero-day-based attacks. Their IPS is also very capable. We tested other firewalls, and we understood that it is the best one in the market. "

Cons

"The main issue that I have noticed is that for deployment, it still requires a dedicated management server, and the gateway is completely different. That sometimes can cause issues."

Outstanding support, reasonable price, and enables our staff to securely work from home

Pros

"The endpoint VPN is super stable. The routing is also very good. We tried a competing product first, but we could not make it work. We came across CloudGuard. The network routing across different virtual networks in Azure and AWS was way ahead of any of the other technologies. That helped us be able to cover the whole network using one single cluster."

Cons

"They are coming out with more SD-WAN express route support from a firewall perspective. That would be great. "

Robust protection with advanced threat prevention, seamless scalability, and centralized management, ensuring comprehensive security for cloud environments

Pros

"Additionally, the centralized reporting and management, accessible through a single pane of glass, offer consistency and efficiency across multi-cloud environments. "

Cons

"While Check Point does offer some VWAN offerings, they appear to be more static and less tailored to cloud-native environments compared to Palo Alto's dynamic and flexible approach."

Easy to administer and deploy but needs better documentation

Pros

"The capability to auto-scale in or out, depending on the resource demand is great."

Cons

"Documentation might become too complex or too spread out, especially for newcomers."

Helps to have unified policies and stands out with high-availability gateways

Pros

"We are using gateways, and I appreciate the high-availability gateways they have. They stand out more than the competitors. "

Cons

"Some more built-in marketplace templates would be nice. It would be nice to see more vendor assistance in deployments and backup of recoveries versus having customers rely upon that themselves. That would make it a lot more seamless and aligned with the standard on-premise model that is there. Check Point can extend the same posture that they have to CloudGuard and make that transition very seamless."

Gives a lot of visibility and we can manage all cloud environments from a central place

Pros

"The ease of deployment has been nice. It is like managing any of our on-prem firewalls."

Cons

"The only pain points we have had with it were when we did major version upgrades. Rather than being able to do incremental upgrades on those, we had to completely redeploy. I know that has changed recently, but we had some hiccups when we did the upgrades. This is the only issue we have had."
