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

While using the CloudGuard IaaS you will get almost the same experience as with other Check Point firewall solutions. The components of the infrastructure are integrated with each other quite well. All the common Check Point Next Generation FireWall blades are supported - Firewall, IPS, Antivirus, VPN etc. There is not big difference from the usual onprem Gateway from this perspective.

I find it really useful that CloudGuard supports all the main players on the Public Clouds market - AWS, GCP and Azure - as well as some exotic ones like Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud and IBM Cloud. I would say there is about 95% probability that the platform your are using is supported, and I don't know any other solution for now which may provide the same number. Moreover, it integrates with most of the public cloud management solutions, so you could automate modification of the security policies based on some triggers or changes in your the cloud infrastructure.

I also like that different licensing models are supported. For testing/evaluation/PoC projects you could go with the Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license without wasting a lot of money in case the solution somehow doesn't suit you. And for production you could use the Bring-your-own-license (BYOL) way, applying the license bought earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

I see nothing to dislike about CloudGuard IaaS right now, I'm quite happy with the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Check Point CloudGuard Network Security:

Don't even try to use it if you somehow don't like the other Check Point products - the experience would be the same =) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use the common set of blades, literally the same as on-premises -

Firewal and IPS to protect from the common attacks, Application Control for application layer stuff, IPSec VPN to provide connectivity between our environments etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This is a good solution to support branch sites that are far distance so there is no need to worry about hardware failures of having to do upgrades to the platform anymore.

The integration with the SD-WAN device at the new site was relatively straight forward and the management interface is simple and easy to apply rules.

HTTPS inspection deployment was also easy to setup and much more manageable than using the Smartconsole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard Network Security?

There are still some features that are in Smartconsole and the Gaia platform that need to be added but hopefully these will be there soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This helped us deploy similar protection that we have on our main sites to a site in Japan. The ongoing maintenance of having to support a hardware platform in this region would have been unmanageable. It was good that we could support dual ISP connections bridging from our SD-WAN to Checkpoint CloudGuard which gave us backup resiliency but also making use of both circuits for extra bandwidth.

Any upgrades in the future will just be a case of purchasing more licenses as the site grows.

The platform is very manageable especially for someone with some knowledge of Checkpoint R80. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
