Check Point Security Compliance Pros and Cons

It's straightforward to use. Price is low compared to other solutions. Many times it is bundled with the initial purchase. There's no need for additional Hardware and Solution required to configure the compliance. You can get the output of the compliance results very quickly. Similar vendors do not have this solution. They are trying the cover the gap throughout the reporting modules or dashboards. Solutions is interactive. This interaction and real time features help the firewall admins to quickly see the operational and logical mistakes while maintaning the daily security activities. Findings screen is interactive where you can jump on the item and solve the issue within a click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's unique to Checkpoint. Well, Checkpoint had acquired the easy2comply solution in 2011. Then it' had customized this solution for Checkpoint firewalls. However, while it's made the acquisition, some of easy2comply features have been dropped. Why I'm mentioning this because we had an old Dynasec customer. Therefore we had used the solution for overall compliance. Current Checkpoint compliance is just for the Checkpoint firewalls. You can't use the solution for other security components. Some of the problems related to the compliance solutions is the roadmap and workflow entegrations. Product does not have the user defined networking security where you define the critical zones and traffic flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like the most about Cloudguard IaaS is the new feature, such as Updateable Object, Datacenter Object. We use the Updateable Object for the Cloud service, and we don't need to add many IP addresses that need to be. It saves the time to edit the firewall policy and can update the IP address automatically from the freed. Datacenter Object is another feather used in our cloud environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most dislinking part is the license. We need to use the command to apply the license to the gateway but not the Smart Update, and it is not friendly to our environment cause execute the controls at the management server need to raise change request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best thing is that we can get more details of each firewall by getting important data such as security overview, security modules, violations, etc., and the coolest thing is that you can print a report in case that is needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The license for one year subscription of the compliance blade is provided with every Check Point Management Server - that's more than enough to complete the configuration of firewall and make sure that the configuration is compliant with the regulatory standards right after that.

The default repors that are available just after blade activation are sufficient enough, but you could always cusomize them as needed, e.g. by including you company name and logo - after that the repors may be used like official documentation.

It's also possible to enable automatic reporting of the compliance violation to the administrators of the system - the remidiation steps are advaised as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just right after the software blade activation you may get the first results - whether the basic setting of you firewall comply with the vendor (Check Point) recommended configuration.
