What do you like best about Check Point CloudGuard WAF?

Check Point CloudGuard WAF is great because it uses smart AI to stop new and advanced threats automatically. It’s fully managed, so you don’t have to worry about updates or tuning—Check Point handles everything. It works perfectly with cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, scaling up as your traffic grows.

Plus, it’s easy to control with a single dashboard, making security simple and hassle-free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point CloudGuard WAF?

Check Point CloudGuard WAF can be pricey, especially for smaller teams. Setting it up isn't always quick—it might take some time to get everything working smoothly. While it's good at blocking threats, tweaking advanced rules isn't as flexible as some other tools. Since Check Point manages updates, you can't always make changes on your own schedule. Occasionally, it might slow down your apps a tiny bit when inspecting traffic deeply. Still powerful, but worth considering these trade-offs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
