• Check Point has a complex range of reporting tools, some of which can take time to learn and be comfortable with.
• The firewall is solid and needs to have someone with training to manage it which means any little mistake can bring down the network and have you on the phone with Check Point support.

• Sometimes the configuration gets out of sync between HA peers, it won't sync, and it also won't say why.
• Every time I log in I get warned that the logfile partition is almost full. Yes, I know that, you're deleting the oldest ones, I know: stop telling me about it with a giant pop-up at login.
• I like green, but I wish I could choose mauve as a background color for the web interface.
