We are using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security for protecting our Office 365 mail.

The solution has improved our company because our Office 365 solution is secure. Most of our Microsoft solutions are now more secure than before when they had spyware and malware. We no longer have these problems as before.

The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is the increased mail protection including spam.

The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive.

I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security for approximately one year.

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is very stable.

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security can scale but it will cost you more.

We have approximately 2,000 mailboxes using this solution.

The technical support from Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is very good.

Positive

We did not use another solution prior to Check Point CloudGuard Network Security.

The initial setup of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is not difficult, it was simple. However, someone else might have difficulties. The whole implementation took approximately one day.

We had the Check Point CloudGuard Network Security team help us remotely with the implementation.

We have a service level agreement with some vendors for the maintenance, but we rarely call them, because we handle it mostly in-house.

The price of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is very high compared to other solutions, such as Fortinet FortiMail. For the over 2,000 mailboxes we use with the solution it is very expensive.

Here in Kenya, the cost of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is approximately $160,000.

I rate the price of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security a three out of ten.

We evaluated Fortinet and Barracuda, but Check Point CloudGuard Network Security was better. I found it uses very few resources.

This is a good solution, but they have to be ready to pay the high costs.

I rate Check Point CloudGuard Network Security an eight out of ten.

This feature is integrated into the security solution of Check Point, and its CloudGuard flagship product is very valuable to our company. It has helped us to make posture, recommendations, and security improvements to the network of our Azure public cloud. We have been able to improve our current implementations and future deployments of networks in our infrastructure in the best way, making assessments that provide us with improvements that include building a more secure environment.

This tool managed to help us improve our security from deployment to reconfiguration of networks - both in our Azure public cloud and on-premise networks, thanks to its improvement reports.

Its integration and use of features, such as advanced threat prevention, have helped us a lot with malware prevention and also with avoiding exposure to false positives.

The best practices that this product has at the network level are incredible. We have improved a lot so far, and now we have a more secure and complete infrastructure.

CloudGuard Network Security provides advanced threat prevention capabilities that can detect and block known and unknown threats, including malware, viruses, and zero-day attacks. This helps a lot for companies that have their infrastructure both on-premise and in Azure.

CloudGuard Network Security includes application control features that allow administrators to control which applications can access the network and how they can be used.

The automation of Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is incredible. It helps us to deploy implementations with good practices in the network; this is a great value add to the tool.

It would be very good if the company could expand the current public documentation in order to improve the implementation of the solution, and initial configurations, among other items. It would help us be able to implement it in the fastest and safest way possible.

The costs are high. They could revalue them by lowering them a bit and making them more attractive to many customers, and likely they would be able to sell more.

It would also be good to validate the Check Point Infinity Portal. Sometimes it sticks a bit or responds a little slowly.

The solution was used during the last year. It is a feature integrated with the Check Point CloudGuard tool.

yes

yes

Good

Positive

It's a very comprehensive solution. However, we have not found any other solution that generates the same level of security as Check Point.

The costs seem high. However, the product is also incredible. It provides great value.

We value tools such as Defender for cloud, among others, however, this solution is the most complete, and we trust Check Point.

I recommend doing a little research before purchasing the product.

I use the product to secure the Azure environment. 

The tool's most valuable features are firewalls and IPS. 

There is room for improvement, especially concerning the integration with the management center. It would be beneficial if tasks that currently require scripts could be performed directly from the GUI. 

I have been using the product for a year. 

The product is stable. 

We faced issues with scalability. 

The solution's support is good but can be improved. 

Neutral

The product is too expensive. 

We have moved our security level from on-prem to the cloud. The security posture is consistent. We can use the same storage system, monitoring system, and objects both on-prem and in the cloud. 

I am quite confident with CloudGuard Network Security. The primary reason for choosing the product over other cloud firewall vendors was to maintain the same solution as on-premises. Additionally, it offered a good level of security functionalities. 

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. You should define your requirements before choosing the product. 

We use the product for network security and cloud workload protection. 

It's easy to set up in Azure Cloud. The ease of setup helps us save time.

It offers an easy and nice way to manage the gateways, similar to on-prem hardware. It has packet filtering features. Our security operations are faster and less prone to errors. We selected CloudGuard Network Security due to its visibility. 

CloudGuard Network Security more or less provides us with unified security management across hybrid-clouds as well as on-prem. We manage both environments on the same console. It makes our security operations faster and less prone to error. 

The solution needs to improve the interruptions that happen during gateway upgrades. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

There were no major stability issues, although switching gateways could cause some downtime, approximately a minute until the new gateway is fully deployed.

CloudGuard Network Security's scalability is good. 

The tool's support is good. Their responses can get delayed due to time zone differences. 

Positive

I have only used the built-in solutions from Azure. 

CloudGuard is easier to understand. CloudGuard is very easy to translate and easy to incorporate features. CloudGuard has better features like packet filters, EPS, threat prevention, and filtering.

We chose CloudGuard because of the visibility. It's much better.

The setup process saves us time, especially in the Azure cloud, as the system continually improves.

We have seen ROI through its visibility and through understanding attacks on the workloads.

For us, the solution was easy to understand. The syncing of the CloudGuard Network Security is like that of the gateway on-prem. Translating in a very easy path to bring the features is very easy. I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We use it to protect Internet access from our AWS environment.

Before we implemented CloudGuard, we had no filtering on what was accessed on the internet from our AWS environment. 

Now, we can filter which websites users can access and block categories that are a risk. For example, we can block social media and gambling sites. This has helped to decrease the risk of access to malicious content on the internet.

It allows us to filter what the servers on AWS can access on the Internet and allows us to filter in terms of IPS, antivirus, and so on, for the contents that are accessed on the Internet.

The complexity to deploy should be decreased. 

I have been using this solution for about five years. 

It is a stable solution. It has been pretty stable for us. We haven't faced any problems since it rolled out. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. 

The customer service and support from the vendor take a lot of time. 

The first line of support is not very good. They usually start with junior engineers when you open a case, which can be time-consuming.

Neutral

I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is easy and ten is difficult to setup. 

For the deployment, we work with the vendor. So, the deployment took two weeks.

We need to provision the firewall, deploy the manager, and understand where the firewall needs to connect, which AWS area, and so on.

We just needed more than two people for the deployment. We worked with the security network security architect and called them engineers.

With ten being very expensive, I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten. 

It is expensive.

It's worth it in the sense that it can protect your network, and it's very scalable.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My clients were different small businesses, and they were migrating to the cloud. We've been using it as a general cloud security tool. 

The interface in terms of being able to have access for myself and the client so that we can easily observe and watch what is going on, has really improved the organization. 

We have seen time to value with this solution. We will continue to use more Check Point solutions in the future.

The versatility is the solution's most valuable feature. 

There are some usability issues we'd like to see improved. 

We're going to be switching to XDR and would like integration with XDR. 

I've used the solution for only about a year. 

The solution is good. I'd rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

I'd rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

The support is good. 

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution. 

I'm involved with the integration and was involved in the setup of specific areas.

The initial setup was alright. I wasn't the architect of the whole thing. In my area, the implementation seemed to be pretty straightforward.

We did not use an integrator, reseller, or consultant for the deployment. 

We do not yet have enough of a baseline to calculate ROI. 

The pricing is fair. It's the client who is paying for it, not me directly. However, they seem satisfied. 

We previously evaluated a few other options. 

The usability is moderate. 

The product has helped us free up some time. It's a complicated situation, however. 

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

The CloudGuard Network Security monitors data flow across company applications to enhance efficient safety. 

This application manages all the security programs across the organization and easily identifies any security breaches that might affect performance. 

It blocks harmful content that can be easily transferred among colleagues and spread viruses. 

Network security configurations in the applications have saved the company cost and time that has been invested for the past year in enhancing data safety.

This system has been important in the organization since we deployed it. It tracks workflows in the networking system to enhance a safe data management environment. 

It has launched secure data management systems to identify and troubleshoot coding errors. 

Production has increased since we deployed this software as employees have nothing to fear and can fully focus on productive activities. It stops phishing attacks and any third-party attacks that can destroy data. 

Working in a secure environment free from malware attacks has been a great achievement in the organization. Check Point CloudGuard Network Security has helped us to achieve this.

The advanced threat prevention system stops any ransomware attacks that can leak confidential information to unauthorized parties. 

Both multi-cloud and on-premises are protected from data attackers, which has boosted the company's growth. 

This software is great in overall performance since it can locate any trouble across the networking system and provide solutions before it affects workflows. 

The automated network security is efficient in monitoring CI/CD workflows. The security across the premises has improved, and the application production has improved under a secure working environment.

The current features have ensured that there are no cloud threats that can affect data in any way. 

We have experienced the most advanced data security since we deployed CloudGuard Network Security in the organization. 

A threat categorization system can be added to give users the authority to define vulnerable attacks and classify areas that can threaten the workflow system. 

Working with this platform is complicated for new users. The cost of management is relatively high for small-scale businesses affecting overall performance.

I've used the solution for eight months.

This platform is stable and has improved the network security in the organization.

I am impressed by the overall performance.

The customer service team provides reliable guidance and directions always.

Positive

I have not worked with a similar solution.

The setup was straightforward.

Implementation took place through the vendor team.

There has been increased ROI since we deployed this platform.

The setup price and cost is good for most growing business enterprises.

I started working with this platform, and I have no intention of leaving it soon.

The performance has been stable and I recommend it.
