Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.9
Check Point Infinity offers high ROI with superior security, cost savings, and performance, making it essential for cybersecurity.
Sentiment score
6.8
Skybox Security Suite provides large organizations significant value and savings, with quicker returns noted in major Serbian companies.
I would say we can save about 90% of our budget with Check Point Infinity.
The value is in the capacity to protect against problems or attacks with technology, developing and strengthening cybersecurity policies and administration.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.3
Check Point Infinity's customer service is praised for expertise and responsiveness but criticized for occasional delays and cumbersome ticketing.
Sentiment score
5.6
Skybox Security Suite's support is inconsistent, with varying responsiveness and effectiveness, especially during upgrades or complex issues.
Check Point support is very responsive.
I would rate technical support from Check Point a perfect score because when I call them, they answer before I could breathe.
As soon as we raise a ticket, they engage promptly, indicating strong vendor support.
A significant issue was contacting support after hours on the weekends.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
Check Point Infinity offers scalable, flexible security solutions, integrating easily with existing systems and accommodating increased capacity seamlessly.
Sentiment score
6.9
Skybox Security Suite excels in scalability and complex environments, though some face vertical, hardware, and cost limitations.
Check Point Infinity is scalable because Check Point has a deployment ecosystem with technical support and the quality of the final information from these tools.
One issue I faced with scalability was the transition from Skybox Security Suite's 6500 platform to the 7500 series due to licensing costs becoming prohibitive.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.6
Check Point Infinity is highly stable and reliable, handling advised loads effectively with minimal downtime or maintenance needs.
Sentiment score
7.3
Skybox Security Suite is stable, with occasional issues on virtual machines; users appreciate updates and support despite minor concerns.
Check Point Infinity is a very stable solution; I don't remember experiencing any downtime.
 

Room For Improvement

Check Point Infinity faces criticism for technical support delays, confusing pricing, poor documentation, and performance issues, needing significant improvements.
Skybox Security Suite requires a web-based interface with improved features, enhanced support, better pricing, and increased automation and customization.
I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity.
I would improve Check Point Infinity by embedding some sort of analytics that indicates which attacks are coming from specific IP addresses very often so that we can block those IP addresses.
If Check Point continues reforms of AI and takes more information from different origins, not only from its database but also from other brands, it can complete this information and make it stronger.
The lack of continued support and problematic licensing costs were also areas needing improvement.
It would be better if something more attractive or similar useful information found in AlgoSec was available.
 

Setup Cost

Check Point Infinity offers competitive pricing with flexible subscription models; license consultations and trials help tailor costs to needs.
Skybox Security Suite's cost varies widely, prompting buyers to assess ownership costs and licensing complexities with reseller guidance.
In terms of pricing, I find Check Point Infinity to be an expensive product.
The pricing is good as Check Point Infinity includes many tools and details that others might not have.
The product, as supported by Check Point, offers invaluable assistance for ease of deployment.
From a commercial perspective, AlgoSec is more expensive compared to Skybox Security Suite.
The pricing became prohibitive when transitioning between the 6500 and 7500 series models.
 

Valuable Features

Check Point Infinity provides unified security management, real-time analytics, and AI-driven threat prevention with seamless integration and Zero Trust framework.
Skybox Security Suite excels in scalability, vendor integration, network impact analysis, vulnerability management, and offers comprehensive reports and compliance.
Check Point uses robust AI software to detect and recognize all cyber-attacks, giving me the ability to prevent these attacks.
It is more efficient because the portal is very intuitive.
The Infinity portal combines all Check Point solutions in one place, including the endpoint, SASE, and the SMP.
The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches.
The most helpful feature is the firewall analyzer.

Luis Diego Alvarado Diaz - PeerSpot reviewer
Has centralized cloud security tasks through an intuitive portal and simplified policy management processes
The best feature Check Point Infinity offers is Cloud Security Management. In this area, I use Quantum Security Management for excellent topics, Smart-1 Cloud. I have a good experience with Smart-1 Cloud and Quantum Security Management because Infinity Portal is an easy and better portal. The central features of Check Point Infinity in one portal are for me, the best topic about the Infinity Portal. Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively because it is easier to control and change VPNs and other features. I use this portal and Cloud One for management, security management in any location. It is more efficient because the portal is very intuitive. The policies in the gateway are easy to control, change, and create new policies. For us, it is the best part.
NenadMijatovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient in vulnerability management, stable and easy to use
Vulnerability management is the most valuable feature because it lets you focus on the most critical vulnerabilities. That's the important thing. Here in Serbia, there are not so many companies that have too many firewalls inside one company. So, they usually don't buy this model for Firewall Assurance unless there is some compliance. So you can prove that your firewalls are compliant. So, that model is not so important here in Serbia. It's for bigger companies. So, they usually buy network assurance to build the model of the network and vulnerability management to focus on the most important vulnerabilities. Moreover, Skybox can collect data for many vendors. From the endpoint protection vendors to the network equipment vendors to other security vendors. So, it supports more than one hundred vendors to collect data from them.
