Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Key features include the ability to include logs for everything that you do for admin. Also, it has web filtering built in and VPN."
"The interface also makes it easy for us to configure the VPN from the GUI rather than the command line, which makes it easy even for less experienced engineers to work with."
"The most beneficial features for us are the alert classifications, which help us prioritize critical issues, and the detailed reports that provide insights into attack origins and purposes, such as TLS violations or content violations."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"The rulebase management and the shared layers concept is implemented well."
"I love the URL filtering as well as the identification capabilities which link with the Active Directory and work for me even with bandwidth regulation. These allow me to select to whom to do what, and when."
"Check Point Security Management Server offers a wide range of security features, including firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, and threat prevention capabilities."
"The Check Point Management server is isolated from security gateways, which means that in case there is an issue, we have our configuration ready and we can directly replace the device and push the configuration."
"The product is scalable."
"The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward."
"It provides an easy way to identify errors and spot issues, making troubleshooting more efficient."
"One of the most valuable features is the dashboard because the UI was effective and easy to use. The alert systems are good as well. We had no failovers and had high availability. We can search the queries fast as well in Nagios Log Server."
"A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"I've found the solution was a bit unstable."
"If the SmartView monitor can be integrated in the R80.40 and R81 versions, that would be ideal in understanding the trends and graphs of how traffic is observed hitting the different Check Point Firewall Gateways that the Security Management controls."
"I would like the ability to have an overview, cross-site: One portal that does all firewalls. Also, the user interface is overly complicated."
"It would be helpful if we could enable URL and application traffic control remote access."
"We would like to improve the upgrade process in order to do mass upgrades to firewalls and to be able to upgrade target firewalls at the same time."
"The usability of the solution could be improved."
"I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents."
"As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing."
"The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."
"The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth."
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
"The support could be better."
