I just removed the entire non-encyclopedic and ridiculous trivia section. Anyone who wants to add it back in a responsible manner, please do so. 68.8.108.62 07:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Wiki makes me laugh. You are so obviously biased as to be laughable. Why for example does cisco page allow mention of products, and yet Check point mention is immediately edited?? Hmmm. Wiki is flawed and insignificant. This comment will no doubt be edited as the censorship continues. Pathetic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.226.122 ( talk) 02:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know who deleted the {{advert}} tag I put on the "Major products" section, but this article still needs some serious cleanup. Here are some choice quotes:
I could keep going, but I don't think it's necessary; if those don't qualify as advertising, I don't know what does. -- Aaron Rotenberg 03:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Image:Check point logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removed this statement from the Competitors section
Note: While the above vendors do offer various products that compete with Check Point Software Technologies in various niches, i.e. network firewall, none of the vendors provide the depth or breadth of pure data security solutions that would mark them as a true competitor.
The statement lacks a NPOV and lacks cited sources. Such a broad statement (opinion) should be able to be verified by at least one reliable source. Perhaps if the editor is correct and the companies listed are not true competitors, then the whole section titled "Competitors" should be removed?
With appropriate, reliable, third-party sources the deleted text would see a welcome return to the article.

I checked this a few months ago and it seemed well written and informative... now it's a stub. I think a high level list of their product lines, a history of their acquisitions and the interesting story of their abortive attempt to acquire SourceFire would all be good additions.

I've started to build up the article again whilst trying to maintain a NPOV. Gavint0 ( talk) 15:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I work for Check Point Software, and I would like to help improve the article. I'm aware of Wikipedia's standards around conflict of interest, and do not wish to introduce bias in the article; at the same time, I may have some insights that can help improve the article. I will be making some suggestions here in the coming weeks. - Cindy ( talk) 17:43, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
The beginning of the article reads "Check Point first pioneered the industry with FireWall-1 and its patented stateful inspection technology.", that sounds exactly like what a PR specialist or salesman would write to push the products at Check Point. I really doubt Check Point "pioneered the [IT Security ]industry", how does one even pioneer an entire industry on one's own?
As I noted below, I'm the head of corporate marketing for Check Point. I also don't want this article to appear to be PR or sales jargon. It appears that the product section in question has been significantly pared back in October 2016, and is now devoid of marketing descriptions. It appears the problem has been resolved, but please let me know if it needs additional attention. Cindy ( talk) 19:27, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, following a conversation with john of Reading, I would like to suggest edits to the product section of the Check Point Wikipedia page. to begin with, I am declaring i am currently employed by Check Point as the Head of Product marketing. my main intention is to ensure the factual accuracy of the Check Point Portfolio of products. The product section was not updated for a long time and I want to make sure it accurately represents our offering to date (2020) for the update suggested below I am suggesting an objective and neutral language that has no marketing appeal to it, nor it discusses any superlatives or sales bias.
Under network Security add the following: Next Generation Firewall – running GAiA OS, R80.x software [12], Check Point next generation firewalls and software platforms support small businesses (SMB) to large enterprise data center and telco-grade environments. Each security gateway includes next generation firewall, IPS, VPN, WAF, SSL, and Data Security (DLP) as well as threat prevention technologies blocking known and unknown a cyber-attacks. The security gateways are available as a cloud service, software-only products that can run on standard hardware, or dedicated security gateway hardware appliances. [13]
