Cons
Check Point Quantum Security Gateway
- 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

- Support can be somewhat stale feeling and frustrating.
- Coordination attempts for integration/troubleshooting with other vendors is tricky.
- Do you research on brand/model of firewalls

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.

Alternatives Considered
Check Point Quantum Security Gateway
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.

When Cisco was more concerned about the network, Trustwave did it for security. But now many things have changed and the competition is really hard for everyone.
