## And against it

- "Check Point has premium pricing and licensing complexity that are persistent complaints, along with technical support delays." (Claude Haiku 4.5, MDR)
- "Traditional/Legacy Approaches (e.g., older Cisco ACI, Check Point, or agent-based tools without modern automation)" (Grok 4.20, Microsegmentation)
- "Heavy resource usage: Slow performance due to heavy resource consumption" (Kimi K2, XDR)
- "often simpler for mid-market but less "OT-native" than the top three" (Grok 4.20, OT/IoT security)
