The Check Point Advantage

3 years ago, we replaced Check Point firewalls with Palo Alto Networks.

Seems this was a huge mistake. We might have to go back …..

The Check Point Advantage

"Palo Alto Networks, a newcomer to security, falls short in their architecture and solutions"

And it's not even April Fools' day....

We have been looking to replace our existing ASA with either Palo Alto or CheckPoint. Have you had a bad experience with Palo Alto?

pretty old information in the document.

@matthew.cosgove we have been a PA customer for about 4 years and have been very satisfied. Also we are a former CP customer but have no regrets for switching to PA.

Let's see, a link to a direct competitor that "shockingly" criticizes PA! Shill much?

Happy Palo Alto customer for over five years now....

We just did a PoC last year between Checkpoint and PA. While the Checkpoint had quite a few really nice features, they were all features that we weren't looking for in our NGFW, and the Checkpoint admin interface was so kludgey that we opted for PA. We've been VERY happy with it.

I think Dulle was ironic.

Half of arguments there can be dismissed in 5 minutes of thinking and research. Other require 10 more minutes
