    CheckPoint is easier to use, the leader of the NGFW firewall and for the price equal to other competitor. the support for the devices owned is also a good side of the vendor that allow to learn about a lot of information behind the CheckPoint TAC support and PS engineer.

    Chose Cisco Firepower 4100 Series
    We previously use Cisco ASA 5500 series but due to those devices are a little old, we changed to Cisco Firepower 4100 Series as more recent product from Cisco. One of the reasons to select Cisco Firepower 4100 Series was the configuration migration availability from ASA to …

    CheckPoint performs well as an internal firewall between network zones, providing policy control and deep inspection of internal traffic. It works well for a multi network setup like ours across multiple sites. It is however not a fast changing interface and time needs to be taken to perform changes. It's not a quick as other vendors

    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.

    Cons
    Fobi AI
    • In my experience, notifications are completely broken and non-functional
    • In my opinion, confusing UX for the cloud portal
    • Don't try and import 100's of endpoints when onboarding because it will create a mess
    • When installing the CP client you have to remove Microsoft Defender and if that fails, CheckPoint technical support goes, "Not my problem, sucks to be you!"

    • Too much time to deploy changes
    • When there are a lot of entries in the ldap mapping the device runs slow
    • You can not make config changes via CLI, only via GUI

    the solution offer the most improvement about the usability by management more firewall in the same context or multicontext instead. The shared database allow to use one object for more than a package target of a cluster or more of gateways firewall. The management remain isolated from traffic pass through the firewall so the disruption is limited at minimum.

    It not easy to understand the different features it offers. Sometimes you need to spend a couple of minutes to implement a change or even open a ticket with cisco tac to figure it out. Once support is on the phone with you they know how to resolve problems. But it's not an intuitive tool

    The CheckPoint Firewall and Cisco ISR router serve different purposes. Our organisation uses both devices, but in different areas of the topology. The Cisco ISR is a remote device and its function is to relay information to our edge firewall, which then passes to our internal firewall (CheckPoint) to securely control traffic requests.

    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.
