## Symptoms

- * Third-party software/applications installed on the same machine as the Security Management Server
* Third-party software/applications installed on the same machine as the Security Gateway

## Solution

* Check Point does not test with third-party software/applications installed on the Security Management Server or Gateways.
* Third-party software and applications can have a significant impact on computer resources and might slow down Security Management Server and Gateway performance, such as logging, policy installation time, and passing traffic

As such, customers should carefully consider if they want to compromise the Security Management Server or Gateway stability and performance.  

**Note -** Some third-party software/applications can also interfere with the Security Management Server and Gateway functions.  

**Important -** Check Point cannot provide support for any third-party software/applications. Support for third-party software/applications must be sought directly from the respective third-party.
