Efficient Cloud Security Service
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive user interface, has similarities to other products out there like Watchguard EDR.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would take at least one year of working with the product to become proficient in it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized cloud security management if customer is solely on AWS.
An easy-to-navigate tool useful for filtering internet traffic that needs to improve its deployment speed
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
With the solution, we just need to filter the traffic coming from the internet and Direct Connect. So it filters the traffic, basically. It permits access. In short, it just filters the traffic and permits the traffic. The aforementioned details are the purposes for which we use the tool.
What needs improvement?
We use the tool as a basic firewall. It's a technical firewall. As a technical firewall, we use SmartConsole or Check Point Firewall.
The deployment phase takes too much time. I would like the deployment to be faster.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point CloudGuard Network Security for two and a half years. We are using Check Point R80.10 SmartConsole in our organization.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten since it takes too much time for deployment. However, it is flexible since we used to push the policy normally. It takes hardly ten seconds to install the policy. It's much easier.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have been using the solution in my company for the last year. Other than the employees in my company, more than 25,000 users are using the solution hosted on AWS.
Basically, the application, which is hosted, is used internally. It's the same user account because it's not exposed anywhere on the internet. If anyone wants to access the solution from the internet, the traffic comes from Direct Connect, and from Direct Connect, it goes to AWS.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not much complex. The setup phase was good enough to be able to navigate through it.
It took a long time to deploy it. We need to run this on EC2 instances, so it took almost two hours to deploy the solution. After deploying the solution slowly, and gradually, we have to push the policy on the firewall. It takes time to deploy, but it's a stable one.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. It's a software we install in EC2 instances on AWS, which we use as a firewall.
We currently have six to seven resources managing the deployments and maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
During deployment, we took technical help from Check Point.
What other advice do I have?
It is a good-to-use tool that is also flexible.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Check Point CloudGuard IaaS - Firewall in the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple templates are available across multi cloud vendors. From single gateway to classic HA to auto-scaling. I would recommend to use the auto-scaling whenever possible. Since session synchronization is not possible in cloud. This is an issue for each vendor, not Check Point specific!
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation is not yet on point. To get up and running is a steep learning curve. With a lot of trial and error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protecting resources in the cloud, with a lot of automation. It is a nice showcase how automated security can work!

What do you dislike about the product?
maybe after sales customer support, easy integration overall
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem for client to take care of its compliance part, security, cloud security and other advantages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must try product, good CWP product, ease of managing cloud platforms. IaaS solution which it offers is an extremely nice one sop shop for protecting workloads.
