Check Point offers three types of support: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. The level of support you receive should be based on the criticality of the issue, not solely on your client's support tier. While there are established support levels, I have experienced instances where the support provided was not categorized as Gold, Platinum, or Diamond but rather a standard support level. In such cases, the response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult.

The configuration could be optimized. The usability could improve. They need to make the guides more specific with images, as it is very complicated to guess where each option is located. The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management. In terms of performance, at some point, I have come to feel that it drops during certain hours. Some additional features that can be added may be the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

There is a limit on the number of files that can be scanned in real-time, which could lead to us being found with our guard down on a high-traffic day. We knew that from the beginning, so there is more than one device integrated. Not all file types are scanned, so we had to limit the type of files that could be shared. We've detected slower performance in older equipment, sometimes forcing the replacement of it since we can't proactively downgrade the security standards on an endpoint for better performance, knowing this causes a threat to the organization.
