    It is a very good device to use on a small and medium size company (0-400 users). However I wouldn't use it for very big companies.

    Pros
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • SSL inspection provides more effective mitigation of threat and data leakage with the ability to inspect and analyze encrypted traffic.
    • Threat emulation and extraction provides protection against zero-day threats without compromising the data of infected files.
    • 'Office mode' VPN provides a seamless connected experience for remotely connected individuals.
    • Application control features provide granular restrictions to the type of application traffic than can pass through the network.

    • Easy to manage on a daily basis
    • It goes very deep into analyzing the trafic and the configuration is very thin.
    • The first configuration is not so complex

    Cons
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • HTTPS Inspection -- The firewall has troubles re-packaging the packet in a way that some websites are able to interpret correctly
    • Support -- Even getting support directly from Check Point isn't the easiest of experiences. They are more concerned about how fast they can close a ticket out, rather than fixing the problem.
    • Custom reports -- Custom reporting is extremely limited

    • Not everything is possible on the web administration page. We need to use the ssh console to do many things.
    • The logs viewer is not as helpful as on other brands (like ASTARO, SOPHOS,...)

    Support Rating
    Check Point Software Technologies
    Check Point has a variety of support options that can be used to optimize your investment in the product. Companies with a larger information security and certified checkpoint engineer employee base can benefit from a standard SLA, while companies with a smaller security engineering footprint or more critical implementations can opt for premium, elite or diamond packages that even include the ability to provide on-site engineers for major security incidents. Check Point PRO support also provides the ability to outsource maintenance concerns by automating case creation and follow up when application components fail.

    In a heterogeneous environment, we wanted to keep multiple vendors for multiple purposes. CP was found very good in handling basic Next generation firewalls features along with handling of VPNs.

    Return on Investment
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • Although there are better alternatives out there, Check Point delivers results for the price we paid for the system.
    • Since implementation, we have not have any major issues with the product, minor issues were resolved in a timely fashion.
    • Check Point currently fulfills our need for an outside facing firewall, when our organization grows larger, we will be looking at higher level enterprise solutions.

    • It does the job very well once it is correctly configured. By that I mean, it is functioning with the least waste of time and effort for network administrators.
    • If needed the support is efficient.
