User Testimonials
	Check Point 2200 Appliances- Discontinued	Cisco Firepower 4100 Series
Likelihood to Recommend	Check Point Software Technologies These are great appliances for small/medium size offices. They do have limited port availability but are normally adequate for our needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco When we are asked by local partners which security equipment we use we always recommend our Cisco security products. The Firepower firewall is no exception and we can easily recommend this to others who need a fast, secure, and well built system that integrates well with all your existing hardware and software.

Pros	Check Point Software Technologies Performance Ease of management Functionality Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Policy management in the GUI. I'm old-school, and still create ACLs in the CLI, but using the GUI for this is very nice. Event monitoring and reporting is great, and you can get very granular when it comes to what information you are viewing. I really like the troubleshooting features that are built in, especially the packet tracer and the ability to generate and download a troubleshooting package to review or send to TAC. CL Charles Lund Director of Network Services Read full review
Cons	Check Point Software Technologies Cost Tier 1 support is challenging at times Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco When deployed as Firepower Threat Defense, configurations cannot be made within the device itself. Troubleshooting can be difficult if the Cisco Firepower 4100 Series firewall is managed by the Cisco Firepower Management Center. There are two operating systems in Cisco Firepower 4100 Series, firmware upgrade process will take a long time. KG Kelvin Goh Security Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Check Point Software Technologies Both were great products but Check Points seemed to be easier to manage and more stable. While cost was also comparable we chose Check Point because of our enterprise investment with them Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco As I mentioned before, the Fortigates have better failover. I think the Cisco interface is easier to use that that of the FortiGate. My only criticism would be that with multiple CLIs, it can get a bit confusing when you are trying to configure something or troubleshoot from the CLI.

Return on Investment	Check Point Software Technologies Stability Consistent Rule application Easy to Manage and maintain Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Positive impact would be our increased security network wide. Another positive would be the increased processing power, saving us time and [from] needing more equipment. A negative impact would be the increased need for having to learn a new interface.
