We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The support is pretty incredible. Check Point has support rep programs that go all the way up to putting one of their own people in your business to help you. Then, they have support programs. If you're an expert, you just need to be able to download updated files and stuff. They have support programs like that, too."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"We can track logs of each firewall which is very helpful."
"We are now able to monitor the different VPN communities in real-time."
"Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time."
"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."
"Check Point Security Management Server offers a wide range of security features, including firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, and threat prevention capabilities."
"We love the ability to monitor performance in real-time, and gather critical information about network flows and traffic."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"It sometimes blocks safe sites when I am researching, affecting the overall output and wasting time."
"I would like to bind users to their network, as well as their local office machine."
"Some of the configuration elements could be improved."
"It would be great if the SmartView Monitor could become integrated into the SmartView Console Platform."
"In the last version from 80.20, there are some issues around SSNA Diction. I would like this to be improved."
"In the future, I would like the platform to be able to integrate or manage appliances or third-party equipment."
"SD-WAN functionality could be added."
"I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"The tool is expensive."
"Technical support should be improved."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
