4.0
Dec 1, 2025
The product is stable and easy to manage and also offers smooth and strong cloud protection. As I have observed updates keep improving the service and security. Setup is also very easy to configure, once it is configured it works absolutely well. This solution delivers solid threat prevention and good visibility in the cloud. But as per my observation it lacks in UI and automation a little bit there is room for improvement in this solution, but overall experience is good.

Good visibility and monitoring: The logs, alerts, and traffic visiblity make it easier to understand what's happening in the cloud network. 3. Integration with cloud platforms: It integrates well with major cloud providers and fits nicely into existing cloud architecture. 4. Stability after setup: Once configured, the solution is stable and doesn't require frequent intervention.

Dislike

As an admin, the UI feels a bit slow and also sometimes you require multiple clicks to reach basic settings. Some Features also need more automation to reduce manual work. Licensing models can get complex and expensive too. Troubleshooting can take extra time due to logs being detailed but not always easy to filter out the issues.

Dislike

Initially I got too complex to setup Sometimes it pops up false positives

Dislike

1. Initial setup and policy configuration can feel complex, especially for teams new to Check Point or cloud network security. 2. The user interface has a lot of options, which is powerful but sometimes overwhelming for day-to-day tasks. 3. Troubleshooting specific issues can take time, as logs and alerts require experience to interpret properly. 4. Documentation is helpful but could be more simplified for faster understanding.

    We've been using check point CloudGuard for securing our cloud infrastructure, and overall it's been a solid experience. The platform offers strong visibility assets and helps us stay compliant with security policies. Setup took some time initially, but once configured, it's been reliable and easy to manage.
