Check Point Next Generation Firewall is a great solution for larger companies that have the ability to dedicate a large budget towards information security controls. In order to get the best return on investment, however, the company should have a highly functioning information security maturity level and the ability to invest in dedicated training so that all features are utilized effectively. The SmartEvent dashboards are able to provide ongoing data that can track this effectively.

ProtonVPN is 100% suited while we are concerned about our privacy and speed while using a VPN. But if you want a great ping and want to stream games or do online multiplayer gaming, it is not so much suited because of the crown on all of its servers and their high pings.

Support Rating
Check Point has a variety of support options that can be used to optimize your investment in the product. Companies with a larger information security and certified checkpoint engineer employee base can benefit from a standard SLA, while companies with a smaller security engineering footprint or more critical implementations can opt for premium, elite or diamond packages that even include the ability to provide on-site engineers for major security incidents. Check Point PRO support also provides the ability to outsource maintenance concerns by automating case creation and follow up when application components fail.

Thus they stand out from most of the VPNs out there. Also, the proton VPN has great speed on its free servers which are not offered by any other VPN I have seen so far. that's definitely a plus point.
