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 unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"The firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"The reporting system provides real-time insights into the security situation and shows measures that can be taken to protect our data."
"With the generation and review of logs, we have verified some vulnerabilities and attempted attacks to generate improvements in our infrastructure and policies to help avoid issues in the future."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"Having the possibility to use Smart Event to check for threats on a broader scale helps after a security incident and also makes it easier to check - instead of looking through different logs."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The support system 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."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
 

Cons

"Check Point's hybrid cloud integration needs significant improvements. These resources need to evolve as data transfers to the cloud increase, so hybrid cloud models are easier to implement. Better hybrid cloud integration would improve how we manage our security logs and provide our administrators with a low-cost solution that enables them to meet all our essential requirements."
"Installing a policy takes a very long time to complete."
"The tool is expensive."
"There's a lot of logs, and I'm unsure about their validity, however, they take up a lot of space. We had to provision the virtual machine twice."
"We sometimes have trouble with the performance of the solution. Maybe some performance tuning options could be added in a future release. There should be more visibility about which blade in your firewall is causing the latency."
"In the future, I would like to see more frequent updates because of the changing security landscape."
"Check Point could improve by enhancing the networking in their solution in order to align it with the existing network architecture."
"Check Point is highly regarded for its effectiveness and the three-layer architecture for security, comprising the client, Security Management, and secure management console, integrated with firewall capabilities."
"The scalability is limited."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
