using terraform to manage security policies can be tricky at times and might need to be reviewed to ensure objecte are created as per the expectation, these are not logged to ensure terraform state and the checkpoint databases are in sync with eachother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust features in a cloud native world"
What do you like best about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

Using CloudGuard network security allows for a familiar implementation with all the features of an onprem appliance. The deployment can be completely codified using Terrafrom, allowing for reapeatable deployments for each region. Using the AWS GWLB and endpoint service, inspecition can be extended to any / all member accounts for ingress / egress inspection. The GWLB deployment also allows for right sizing of EC2s that can increase/decrease with autoscaling. The policy can also be codified using Terraform, allowing for teams to inner-source access requests, but ensuring the proper security teams can still approve the access before it is rolled out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

When using Terraform to manage the security policy, the object creation layout needs to be well thought through to ensure objects are created as disired. Also, publishing changes needs to be accounted for on Terraform apply success and failures so Terraform state and the Check Point database stay in sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
