AWS Firewall Manager vs. CheckPoint

AWS Firewall Manager is well suited for cloud environments that have a lot to manage and maintain. If you have a smaller scale cloud environment or on premise setup this may not be for you.

If the org has more than a couple of hundred endpoints, I would recommend help from pro services otherwise the UX is going to cause confusion. Its almost as if a new customer would need hand holding because the UX is so .... unconventional. CheckPoint technical support does not have the manpower to meet the needs of paying customers.

• Scans local endpoints for malware fairly quickly

• Its Support team charges are extremely high depending on the case.
• It has a limit to set up rules.

Incentivized

• In my experience, notifications are completely broken and non-functional
• In my opinion, confusing UX for the cloud portal
• Don't try and import 100's of endpoints when onboarding because it will create a mess
• When installing the CP client you have to remove Microsoft Defender and if that fails, CheckPoint technical support goes, "Not my problem, sucks to be you!"

Every dollar to CheckPoint is a wasted dollar.

Roll the dice and see what happens is what CheckPoint technical support wants its customers to do.

For a
business that doesn't use any software or applications that will generate high
volumes of traffic, AWS Firewall Manager is the ideal choice. The method of
creating an initial configuration and user-friendliness is simple. Along with
other AWS services, we also created portals for the HR division, with a focus
on recruitment. we also created a User Interface and a set of tools. The AWS
Firewall Manager is the only thing we need.

There is no clear leader for anti-malware, all have strengths and weaknesses, nothing is good or great at everything.

Incentivized

• Client retention
• Less need for tedious tasks (cost savings)

Incentivized

• ROI is satisfactory because it is doing the basics of preventing malware infections
