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

"We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"Check Point Intrusion Prevention System has great profiles, and we can continuously create, modify, activate, deactivate or configure any specific setting to allow the profile to focus on just one thing or for certain attacks."
"What I like best about Check Point IPS is that it can prevent attacks. I also like that it has a log feature."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"User-friendly and easy to implement."
"I can easily monitor all of our connected devices and I get instant notification of reconnections and new connections, which removes some of the monitoring burden."
"Its event analysis and centralization features are very important for any organization."
"There's an automatic update after every 2 hours which makes sure that the database is up to date and providing zero-day vulnerability protection."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The performance and stability are great."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."
 

Cons

"There is an issue with precision."
"The cost is a bit high but it is worth it."
"When entering, it always takes a long time to load."
"It requires a lot of people to maintain the solution."
"We want the solution to continue to move towards cloud-based and portability focused for telecommuting users."
"From the product perspective, there have been instances where the signature download caused issues."
"Occasionally there are glitches and errors like false positives, which would be a nice area of this solution to improve upon."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the Check Point IPS which is not expensive. However, the Check Point IPS device is expensive."
"You can pay for Check Point IPS yearly, or you can go with a three-year license. There's no extra cost apart from the standard licensing fee."

"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
