"Cloudguard IAAS best solution to secure your cloud envirorment"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security)?

I have been working with cloudguard IAAS solutions on AWS and Azure clouds for 3 years. I can say that it is a very good solution, dploy are easy to do because of the templates, both for architecture with GWLB and external and internal LB that Checkpoint offers. The solution is scalable and reliable, once the deployment is done you don't have to think about anything else. Upgrades are easy to perform as you simply deploy new CG instances and delete old ones.

At the feature level, cloudguards guarantee as for on-prem solutions the maximum for security up to level 7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
