"Powerful control over apps, but requires tuning"
What do you like best about Check Point Application Control?
Application Control makes it easy to block, allow, or log thousands of known apps and services—right from the rulebase. The integration with URL Filtering gives us precise control over both web categories and specific app functions (like blocking Zoom file sharing but allowing meetings). Reporting in SmartEvent shows usage trends, which helps us justify controls to management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Check Point Application Control?
Some apps are hard to match reliably without HTTPS inspection, and newly emerging apps can take time to get added to the database. False positives can occur with custom business tools unless we add exclusions. Also, performance can take a hit on smaller gateways if too many categories are active at once.
