"There are a lot of false positives. I would like to see integration with some kind of network detection and response in order to make some automation on IPS configuration."
"What I would like to improve in IPS would be the capacity of the hardware. I would also like to be able to sort signatures by severity. This would greatly impact how well I can manage my environment."
"Sometimes Check Point documentation is not always updated, which is why when some implementations change, it generates confusion about details."
"There is a performance impact on the NGFW post-enabling the IPS blade/Module, which can even lead to downtime if IPS starts to monitor or block high-volume traffic."

"It would be good to update the public documentation of Check Point so that we can generate improvements and best practices based on the documentation."
"The pain point that I have with this solution is contacting technical support."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"Support needs to be enhanced."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
