Good documentation and proxy support with a helpful community available for troubleshooting
It's useful that we can find unused objects. This helps us to get rid of unused objects in our database, Proxy support is valuable for us. We can apply centralized proxy settings to get additional databases when we need them. Revision history and detailed audit log is a good feature with this we can always feeling safe if somethings go wrong, I'm sure that I can go back the old one. Smart Event is a very good feature. It provides a graphical view of the traffics and provides history. The filter syntax is very good and helps control when we need it.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance."
"We can easily push the policies to any of our gateways."
"We are now able to monitor the different VPN communities in real-time."
"The most beneficial features for us are the alert classifications, which help us prioritize critical issues, and the detailed reports that provide insights into attack origins and purposes, such as TLS violations or content violations."
"It offers numerous features and blades, including intrusion prevention (IPS) and malware detection. It excels in network security and VPN capabilities, including IPSec VPNs. IPS is particularly powerful due to its signature-based detection, which automatically checks for and identifies malicious software."
"It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"The features we like and find the most valuable are the ways we can manage the policy, create objects, and drag and drop objects in our daily operation. It makes our daily operation on the firewall management much easier than going, for example, to one firewall, then going to the other."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."
"It is stable."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The user interface is very good."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
 

Cons

"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"As per personal experience and based on many organizations, Check Point needs to improve PS services."
"The management API can be further developed so that all functions offered by the dashboard are also available via the API (for example, Network Topology)."
"It also offers compatibility with third-party security solutions, however, it is not a lot. This needs to be improved."
"In the last version from 80.20, there are some issues around SSNA Diction. I would like this to be improved."
"I would like it to be the administrator of equipment or Next Generation firewalls (which have to be managed on this platform) and to be able to manage other services (like Harmony) that also belong to Check Point."
"The reporting should be improved in future releases. It needs to be very explicit. This is very important."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
