Alternative choice of Checkpoint firewall in Azure.

Question

Hello experts!

I am working on the Checkpoint firewall and managing Azure resources. But I wanted to know if we can use the functionalities of Checkpoint firewall in Azure Firewall as I wanted to keep only one portal to manage everything from Azure Portal.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to know if you could use the functionalities of Checkpoint firewall in Azure Firewall.

This seems to be a broad statement.

• Experts in Microsoft Q&A Forum would have expertise over Azure Firewall but may not have the same expertise over 3rd party solutions.
• I shall try my best to highlight the features of Azure Firewall, you can cross compare it with your third party Firewall.

Refer:

• Azure Firewall SKU Comparison
• Azure Firewall Standard features
• Azure Firewall Premium features
• Rule processing Logic
• Using Azure Firewall as a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA)

In case you are using an Azure vWAN and looking for a secured hub,

• You can consider deploying a third-party security provider (Check Point) in the hub
• Refer : https://www.checkpoint.com/cloudguard/microsoft-azure-security/wan

Should you have any specific requirement, do let us know and we shall comment if that can be achievable using Azure Firewall.

Thanks,

Kapil
