User Testimonials
	Check Point 4000 Appliances	Check Point Quantum Lightspeed
Likelihood to Recommend	Check Point Software Technologies Well suited for small to medium business with less than 1000 users. Good edge device, NAT is easy to work with. The anti-malware, anti-spyware are worthwhile paid add-ons. Anti-spoofing is built in, and required to be put in. The split of management between Gaia and secure platform applications is painful, but nothing that can't be gotten around.

Pros	Check Point Software Technologies If you have critical data then you can use this firewall for secure your organization You can also use for cloud security If you want the deep packet inspection then this is one of the best firewall for you.

Cons	Check Point Software Technologies Steep learning curve for admins No packet tracer application like the ASA to test flows prior to putting in new rules, etc. Policy packages are all or nothing. I cannot uninstall or turn off a piece of the overall policy, it's all or nothing. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Check Point Software Technologies No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Check Point Software Technologies We were using the Cisco ASA 5525 but this firewall was not fully secure. Lots of advanced features were missing so we installed the Check Point 4000 Appliances and we are really happy with the features, advanced IPS and web filtering help us to protect our organization and also more control our user traffic.

Return on Investment	Check Point Software Technologies We have not seen a zero-day exploit since implementing the anti-spyware, anti-malware, and URL filtering functionality We have not seen a successful intrusion into our systems since the implementation of our checkpoint 4000 We have had this firewall for 5+ years, and it still has much life left in it.
