CheckPoint is good bang for buck

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organisation uses CheckPoint as the secondary layer in our network security architecture, serving as the internal firewall. It operates as the intermediary between our external edge firewall and the internal network, providing an additional layer of protection for applications, systems, and websites. This setup ensures that all inbound and outbound traffic passing through the perimeter is subject to further inspection and policy enforcement before reaching internal resources. By doing so, CheckPoint helps to strengthen our overall cybersecurity posture, prevent unauthorised access, and maintain greater control over internal communications and data flow within the organisation.

Pros

  • Gui
  • Updates and patches

Cons

  • Management console can be complex
  • Reporting Logs hard to manage
  • Integration with Cloud apps

Monitoring Services. Even tough the cost is bit higher than palo alto but still provides a lot of good functionalities which can be taken into consideration for buying this firewall and even if this is working in a lot of finance institutions around the globe than but still it depends on you to go for it or not. Traffic is very impressive

  • hardware performance is really good
  • Bugs are less as compared to other vendors

Cons

  • API management should be having more automation to make interaction with SOC
  • User interface should be more user friendly
  • Harmony should be as good as Palo Alto XDR which offers incident and analytical response
  • Cost should be evaluated for licensing modules
  • false positives may occur

Return on Investment

  • Compliance with Hipaa, PCISSS and saving on compliance plenties

CheckPoint Endpoint Security

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CheckPoint as an endpoint anti-malware suite. We like its reliability for protecting workstations and servers from all the bad stuff, the only complaint I have with CheckPoint is that the cloud portal user interface is very confusing and not user friendly, even to a veteran system administrator. The cloud portal does display an immense amount of useful information but the navigation and organization of that info is disjointed and doesn't follow normal modern UX design.

Pros

  • Scans local endpoints for malware fairly quickly
  • Can be installed by InTune
  • Technical Support Managers will close support cases for invalid reasons
  • Sales representatives think its OK for support to ghost paying customers

Cons

  • 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!"

Most Important Features

  • Reliability

Return on Investment

  • ROI is satisfactory because it is doing the basics of preventing malware infections

Usability

Alternatives Considered

Sophos Intercept X, Sophos UTM and Symantec Endpoint Security
