	Azure Firewall Manager	Check Point Quantum Smart-1 Security Management
Likelihood to Recommend	WAF is great for apps hosted within Azure. It allows for great security as well as funneling traffic out through Azure rather than having to bring it back on-prem to your internal firewall to then go back out. Can really give too much of a reason for a situation where it doesn’t work as it has been used in one particular situation. Incentivized Heeran Rathod BSc 3rd Line Business Systems Engineer Read full review	It is very suitable to manage and monitor a large amount of network security information. It is not recommended to use the network information security management of a single firewall device in terms of cost. Incentivized Melvin Ji Vice President & Product Manager Read full review
Pros	Anti -Spam and protection against phishing. Endpoint Security. DDOS Protection. Incentivized AB ABDUL HUSSAIN BAPUJI Network Engineer Read full review	Expanded memory (RAM) and new SSD storage for faster system response when searching logs, creating reports or viewing events The ability to quickly analyze logs and events can shorten our response time for handling information security incidents The expansion management method of the device itself is very flexible. It can be adjusted according to actual needs. Incentivized Melvin Ji Vice President & Product Manager Read full review
Cons	Functionality Setup is difficult. Networking Incentivized Heeran Rathod BSc 3rd Line Business Systems Engineer Read full review	Not many Expensive though comparatively lately these devices have stayed fairly consistent while other vendors have increased greatly and are catching up.
