User Testimonials
	Azure Firewall	Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Native Security Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Azure Firewall is well suited for most mid sized and large sized companies that deal with thousands of users within multiple environments. Azure Firewall allows you to protect business assets by preventing malicious attacks from entering the network. Azure Firewall would be less suited for a small company that does not use a vpn or have users outside of the office as something smaller would be more appropriate. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Check Point Software Technologies Checkpoint Cloud Guard Native Security Platform is much better in native cloud infra security requirements. It works well, and the manageability of said product is good. But If you are having some hybrid kind of environment, it is not suitable, and the products have more complexity to deploy. There are so many other players to do well in this segment. Incentivized AM Ankit Mistry IT Software Consultant Read full review
