We performed a comparison between Check Point IPS and Cisco NGIPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are able to define our own rules for detection."
"IPS logs enable complete visibility and reporting through the smart console."
"Some of the features for views and visualization are already predefined as default files."
"Overall, it give me a lot of insight into my network that I didn't have before."
"IPS can protect our organization with any old vulnerabilities or if any vulnerability detected minutes ago IPS can protect us as per our configured policy."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its detection panel. Managing and updating policies within Check Point IPS is easy and without issues. It provides a secure network."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"The reports are well written so that you can understand what type of attack has occurred, the originating IP address, and other details."
"Technical support is quite good. With firewalls, the last cases I had with Cisco were professionally handled quite quickly and it was great."
"The traffic filter of this solution is very valuable to us, and to our clients."
"The most valuable feature is its IPS ability. You are able to balance security and connectivity."
"You can do zero-day prevention and detection. It's quite useful."
"I think their fingerprints are good in terms of how they whitelist and blacklist."
"It is more or less stable. Sometimes I have some issues normally when we need to upgrade it to newer versions. I think it does the job."
"In the virtual deployment, you have a couple of choices depending on your needs and how much bandwidth you have that needs to be inspected."
"The most valuable features of Cisco NGIPS are protection and reporting."
"The hardware-based version of Check Point IPS could be more scalable. Right now, it's not scalable."
"When exceptions need to be done for certain profiles, it is easy to get them done, however, implementation on some general ones may cause some extra work as the IPS is not easy to overwrite."
"I hear from my admin that the firmware upgrade process is quite cumbersome."
"The cost is a bit high but it is worth it."
"The cost is high."
"We have a lot of false positives and the list of IPs are not up to date in terms of their location."
"It requires a lot of people to maintain the solution."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"It has room for improvement when it comes to integrating machine learning and AI into it where even if you don't have a baseline that is of length for anomaly detection, it could do more like an AI style machine learning. It learns on its own."
"The inclusion of bandwidth management features would improve this product."
"I think that some initiation scripts might be helpful because they would make the configuration easier and more user-friendly for customers."
"The pricing is very expensive. They should make their equipment more affordable."
"Overall, it lacks user-friendliness. It could be easier to manage. I can train any customer using FortiGate or Palo Alto in a few days, but with Cisco, it takes much more time because the systems aren't easy to use."
"I would like to see better integration with SIEMs."
"The solution should contain the sandbox features which we find in Check Point."
"We have a separate management controller for Cisco NGIPS. If they have not done it already they should integrate Cisco NGIPS with the Cloud Portal."
