What do you like best about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

The ability to easily encrypt / decrypt traffic at ease according to the security policy as well s the integration between Active Directory, Cloudguard Azure objects & application control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

What problems is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had an issue earlier in the year where AD query would not work, after investigation it turned out that access roles were being assigned to the wrong LDAP account, SmartConsole does say to be cautions with using multiple LDAP accounts however I feel this could do with some more visibility to administrators (Which LDAP object a Access role is assigned to).

What do you like best about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

Since I had experince with Check Point NGFW before, it was easy for me to adapt CloudGuard IaaS. Basicly, this solution has the same architecture and components as NGFW, so when you deploy it to the cloud, it feels like managing just yet another datacenter of you company. It also has a reach set of supporte cloud provides, but for now we use it only on Google Cloud Platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

As with other solution of this kind, you still have to manage basic cloud firewall and routes for VPC outside of CloudGuard IaaS - there's no 100% integration if you concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Check Point CloudGuard Network Security:

You should fully understand the way CloudGuard would be integrated into you cloud from the networking perspective, and it differs from platform to platform. E.g. for Google Cloud the instances of Cloud Guard must have interfaces in several VPCs as a requirement. Think about the subnetting and routing for your project, make a PoC with your networking staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Main usage - protection of our cloud assests deployed on Google Cloud Platform - firewall and Intrusion Prevention Blades. Also we rely on GeoIP module to restrict undesired countries from accessing our services (as for now you can't achieve it with GCP firewall). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

Scalable infrastructure tools that seemlessly integrate with on-prem solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

The documentation provided by Check Point can be rough. There are several pieces of content just completely missing, including broken links and documentation that is at odds with documentation provided byt he cloud service providers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a scalable infrastucture solution that would enable us to extend our on-prem network into the cloud. As opposed to static deployments in the past, we've been able to stand up infrastrucutre that can take advantage of some of the ephemeral benefits that can be gleaned from cloud deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

Checkpoint IAAS was simple to configure and not too dis-similiar to the On-Premise solution. To note however, our On Prem Checkpoint is out of date (soon to be upgraded), so to deploy and configure the latest version of the firewall in the Cloud presented a new challenge, but it was a definite improvement on the older version.

Pay as You Go Model

Can be easily integrated with On Prem environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

Documentation could be improved

Not much to dislike - I am a fan of Checkpoint products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Set up as a Firewall in our isolated DR environment.

Allowing VPN connectivity into our DR environment

With continued upgrading of our On-Prem environment, we have understood how easy it is to deploy the Firewall for our future Cloud journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
