User Testimonials
	Check Point Quantum Lightspeed	Cisco Firepower 4100 Series
Likelihood to Recommend	Check Point Software Technologies No answers on this topic	Cisco When we are asked by local partners which security equipment we use we always recommend our Cisco security products. The Firepower firewall is no exception and we can easily recommend this to others who need a fast, secure, and well built system that integrates well with all your existing hardware and software.

Pros	Check Point Software Technologies No answers on this topic	Cisco Packet filtering Great vpn client Integrates correctly with other vendors Incentivized Gustavo Chang Network Security lead Read full review
Cons	Check Point Software Technologies No answers on this topic	Cisco Too much time to deploy changes When there are a lot of entries in the ldap mapping the device runs slow You can not make config changes via CLI, only via GUI Incentivized José Antonio Padilla Telecomunications Read full review
Usability	Check Point Software Technologies No answers on this topic	Cisco It not easy to understand the different features it offers. Sometimes you need to spend a couple of minutes to implement a change or even open a ticket with cisco tac to figure it out. Once support is on the phone with you they know how to resolve problems. But it's not an intuitive tool Incentivized Gustavo Chang Network Security lead Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Check Point Software Technologies No answers on this topic	Cisco As I mentioned before, the Fortigates have better failover. I think the Cisco interface is easier to use that that of the FortiGate. My only criticism would be that with multiple CLIs, it can get a bit confusing when you are trying to configure something or troubleshoot from the CLI.
