Check Point Quantum feels powerful and reliable, with strong threat protection, but its setup is complex and the licensing a bit opaque. Overall experience is good, email protection provided by Quantum is not outstanding, quarantine management is a missing feature.

“Limited Configuration Options and HA Issues Noted in Checkpoint 1550 Experience”

3.0
Aug 23, 2025
As a network team lead, i have worked with 200 checkpoint 1550 with the smartconsole centralised management. It works well with the centralised management dashboard. It does the job. However, in terms of options, I find it a bit limited. Also, the HA technology for these small business appliances is very flaky. We get a lot of issues with the HA.

Check Point Quantum Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I love most about Quantum is its all-in-one security depth with real-time logs, central management via smart console is a solid feature that allows control over the infrastructure with just two clicks, granular policy is also something really time saving and allows the admin to fine tune access without performance issues.

The stability and reliability of the firewall. the depth of security features and the ease of centralized management. Visibility and policy control are excellent, and the overall protection it provides our organization is strong.

Dislike

What frustrates me most about CheckPoint Quantum is its emailantispam handling. The builtin antispam engine is often overly aggressive, flagging legitimate newsletters and client communications as junk, which forces us to spend hours finetuning whitelist rules. Conversely, some not-so-sophisticated phishing emails still slip through, indicating inconsistent detection. The lack of a spam quarantine increases the lack of features.

The IPS can sometimes let through traffic that other tools like our SIEM still flag as suspicious. Our recurring Oracle Weblogic signatures have been an ongoing irritation despite TAC reviews.

    Strong, reliable NGFW with excellent features, but IPS tuning requires attn.

    4.0
    Aug 24, 2025
    Overall, CP NGFW with IPS/IDS has been highly reliable, stable, and effective for our env., but I deducted a point due to recurring IPS gaps on specific Oracle Weblogic signatures that our SIEM still detects daily. While TAC reviewed and confirmed "all is good," these alerts remain a nuisance and reduce my confidence in that IPS coverage.

    Aug 20, 2025
    Overall, Check Point Quantum has been reliable, secure, and easy to manage once set up. It delivers strong threat prevention with solid performance under heavy traffic, though licensing can be a bit costly and some features have a learning curve. A dependable choice for enterprises looking for robust network protection.
