"Seamless Deployment and Robust Threat Protection with Minimal Maintenance"
4/5
What do you like best about Check Point WAF (formerly CloudGuard WAF)?

The combination of seamless deployment and strong, intelligent threat protection is the greatest upside. The Ease of Implementation was a significant win, allowing us to onboard critical applications with minimal downtime or configuration overhead. The managed intelligence behind the WAF dramatically reduces false positives while effectively stopping complex Layer 7 attacks, freeing up our team to focus on other priorities. Its low maintenance requirement and high-fidelity alerting are also major benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point WAF (formerly CloudGuard WAF)?

While the core WAF functionality is excellent, the reporting and dashboard visualization could be improved for enterprise-level visibility. It sometimes requires extra effort to correlate specific security events across a large fleet of applications outside of the primary console. Furthermore, the initial licensing model required a bit more negotiation to align perfectly with our specific scale-out architecture. However, the strong Customer Support helped us resolve these initial issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
