Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Check Point 4000 Appliances is one of the most secure firewalls in the world. We are working on this firewall for the last two years. There are lots of very advanced features like sandboxing, web filtering, content inspection, advanced IPS, and many more. We have installed this firewall on my one of the site and using the all advanced features for projecting my site from external cyber-attacks.

Pros

If you have critical data then you can use this firewall for secure your organization
You can also use for cloud security
If you want the deep packet inspection then this is one of the best firewall for you.

Cons

CLI is more complicated
GUI is slow . this should be improve
Technical support is not good.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have middle-sized and large-sized organizations and you have a very good budget for network security then you can install this firewall. Sandboxing and ips features are very useful and you can use them for deep packet inspection and protect your organization from external attacks.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Check Point is our current corporate standard. Access to our parent company networks requires a heterogenous checkpoint to checkpoint VPN. This is being used by most of the satellite companies, as our company grows via many acquisitions per year. The product is fantastic for blocking incoming threats, managing online content access, and has done a great job at keeping our companies safe.

Pros

Management access is difficult to get to and requires a specific client, plus sourcing from a permitted IP address.
Anti-malware, anti-spyware, and anti-bot engines do a great job at protecting from malicious content.
Anti-spoofing makes certain exploits like the LAND attack vector as null and void.

Cons

Steep learning curve for admins
No packet tracer application like the ASA to test flows prior to putting in new rules, etc.
Policy packages are all or nothing. I cannot uninstall or turn off a piece of the overall policy, it's all or nothing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for small to medium business with less than 1000 users. Good edge device, NAT is easy to work with. The anti-malware, anti-spyware are worthwhile paid add-ons. Anti-spoofing is built in, and required to be put in. The split of management between Gaia and secure platform applications is painful, but nothing that can't be gotten around.
