Check Point Pointsec [EOL] Reviews

The tool was implemented in the company to provide computer security for the encryption of disks to protect information stored in electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, laptops, and smartphones. Its characteristics and functionalities were presented in their proper form and were able to guarantee that all our regulations were completely protected and insured in case of theft or loss of equipment. In cases where they were lost or stolen, strangers could not obtain any sensitive information.

It's an excellent solution in the security market.

The tool managed to establish regulations related to being able to have devices outside the organization. With extensive characteristics offered to us, we had full confidence that this tool was protecting the information and that our employees could be safe if they suffered any theft. 

Despite this, we had to migrate to a new tool since it left the market. Also, due to support issues, we had to make the change. However, it was still a very good experience using the tool.

Check Point Pointsec was one of the solutions we used when we were on-premise; it is an endpoint encryption solution that we used to protect confidential data on laptops, desktops, and removable media. With this, we were able to secure many devices and safeguard information. When we did the migration to the Azure cloud we had to make changes in our security tools, and one that we changed was this one for one of the same brand (since we had used it for many years and we already had the experience and support with Check Point). This is why, in the end, we acquired Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software.

In the first few years, we needed a tool to encrypt Check Point Pointsec devices. It was one of the first tools we acquired. It was an excellent tool with many functionalities that helped to be able to manage all the security in the aforementioned endpoint devices. 

Previously, we were able to ensure that our workers were safe from theft or hacking. It also helped us to standardize more centralized management, helping us to improve security standards.

We had the need to provide our users with a secure organizational browsing experience based on the fact that in the past, we had attacks by more inexperienced users browsing the network without the relevant security. 

The initiative to implement a Check Point solution was encouraged due to the fact that we already have a relationship with the brand, and it was where we adopted the Check Point Secure Web Gateway, which was mainly to help filter the URLs that each user tried to access and block some categories so that they are not reachable.

From the moment we started using Check Point Secure Web Gateway, we realized its great value and ability to take it not only on-premise but also into our cloud-based environment. We are integrating features like data loss prevention and software enablement of the antivirus. Above all, it's giving us that value that we so much needed in terms of security and navigation. 

Although Check Point resembles the capabilities that NGFWs have, they are not the same since SWG provides security against advanced internet-based attacks by inspecting traffic at the application layer.

Check Point GAiA was part of our firewall and security solution.

The threat detection is good.

Check Point GAiA is easy to use.
