Great for detection and access with the capabilities of defining specific rules
We wanted a more robust solution for controlling access to our cloud environments (AWS and Azure). In addition, we wanted our control to be cloud-based.  Our thought was to find a solution to aid us in being proactive as well as reactive. We have multiple environments in multiple clouds with some…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it protects us against hundreds of different attack vectors, like ransomware. The protection is always being triggered. People try to access websites that are categorized as malware, so when the users do a DNS request for the IP of those malware websites, the IPS Blade replaces the real IP of the website that is malware with a bogus IP. The user gets an IP that doesn't exist and when he tries to access, it won't work."
"Check Point IPS manages risk categories very well and accordingly helps us protect each of our devices in real-time."
"The reports are useful in helping to verify the threats where we can see the level of severity in order to be able to take action."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"I can generate reports for management automatically based on the threats of the last day/week/whatever is needed."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that the product's stability has been very good. The"
"The Check Point IPS module allows me granularity in creating rules."
"The Check Point IPS feature I find the most valuable is the firewall. It is great and easy to work with."
"It is very easy to collect and handle data in ExtraHop Reveal(X) Cloud. Integration with Big Data is also easy. Many of our customers integrate it with Big Data platforms like Splunk or Elastic. It is also easy to handle and easy to understand."
"It is scalable."
"It stands out for its intuitive and efficient user interface, robust detection capabilities with minimal false positives, and the ability to handle encrypted traffic, making it a valuable asset for network security and management."
 

Cons

"Some challenges might exist with integration depending on the environment."
"In my opinion, the Check Point software engineers should works on the performance of the blade - when it is activated with the big number of the protections in place, the monitoring shows us the significant increase in the CPU utilization for the gateway appliances - up to 30 percents, even so we are cherry-picking only the profiles that we really needed."
"This is an expensive solution, higher than other products on the market."
"Support is the biggest area for improvement."
"Signature tuning should be more user-friendly in the tool because, as per my experience, signature tuning is tough in Check Point IPS."
"The service that we want to see in the future is a capacity to segment the IPS services by equipment."
"Check Point IPS' main problem is it is mostly software based. The performance is dependent on the CPU power, and the limited number of patterns."
"Having additional reports available would be helpful."
"There needs to be more support."
"They can include integration with SAP. Currently, no vendor provides network performance monitoring in the SAP market. It is a very big market. We have around 400 customers for SAP in Korea. In the USA, there are more than 10,000 customers."
"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model can be more competitive."
"The module has a considerable cost but you can save by purchasing a package with several modules instead of making a single purchase."
"It is a reasonably priced product."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means it is very cheap and ten means it is very expensive. The product is expensive."
"The tool's licensing model is good. The licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"I think that the price of support is around $40,000 USD or $50,000 USD per year."
"The price of this product should be reduced."
"My company pays for the yearly licensing of Check Point IPS. It is a very expensive tool."
"When compared to other solutions, it aligns with the market average, indicating a competitive pricing level."
