What do you like best about Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)?

I find Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) to be stable and feel they offer good value for money. I really like the expansive applicability, as you can use them in numerous locations. I appreciate SecureXL and CoreXL features. The firewall software is also among the best on the market and is least likely to get breached. I value that updates are rolled out quickly after their threat evaluation team identifies security issues. Their support is top-notch, and I find the compliance blade helpful in coaching administrators on necessary improvements. The fact that Check Point hasn’t been a victim of mass data breaches is a major reason I stick with it, and I found the Gaia initial setup quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
