Overall Satisfaction with Check Point Quantum Security Gateway Next Generation Firewall

Our clients wanted something superior beyond NGFW, NGX Firewalls. We tried to pitch in CheckPoint's product of Quantum Security NGF, and the client asked for a quick demo. The Demo / PoC that we demonstrated was enough to have their buy-in. We went through the deal and the client was happy. FSI clients are generally a tad difficult to deal with, and we are now tasked to manage their INFRA.
Client is having huge Data Centers and was very impressed by this as compared to other CSPs/ on prem solutions like AWS and GCP. They wanted their data to reside mostly on-prem Data Centers. We even found after-sales support much competitive Vs products like F5 and Cisco.

Pros

  • Stopping and detecting Day 0 attacks
  • Easy troubleshooting/ GUI
  • Scalability and speed
  • After sales support, NGFW capabilities

Cons

  • Modular capabilities
  • Integration with VMware and NSX products per client requirement
  • 3rd Party support product
  • Application-aware boxes
  • Threat detection capabilities
  • Hyperscaling
  • We saved an approx USD $ 750k minimum in a span of only 3 months due to long term planning and migrating from old /legacy platform to Newer CheckPoint Quantum Security Gateways
  • Long term plan - To purchase licenses for next 2-3 years planning = expected Savings = 500k - 1000k USD min
  • Super easy after sales support / Diamond level equivalent
  • Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management (formerly Dome9)
  • Best Security meets Ultimate Hardware
  • SandBlast Zero Day Protection out of the box
  • Modular hardware
  • High Performance CPUs
  • I believe this has been covered prior - Smooth migration and very minimum downtime for a big FSI client. Our FSI client now also wants to integrate it with other 3rd party vendors which will be a part of Q3 or Q4 this FY
