What is our primary use case?
The Infinity Portal is primarily a management tool. It's a single pane of glass to access and control all our Check Point products from one central location.
I work extensively with the Infinity Portal. It's the central management interface for all our Check Point products.
How has it helped my organization?
It has brought value. For example, a customer already has Check Point solutions in place. Rather than opening a separate console for each product, they can use the Infinity Portal. Just open Infinity, and with a single click, they're redirected to the product they need – email security, Harmony Connect, Harmony Internet Access, for example. It eliminates the need to open multiple interfaces.
It's how we manage products like Harmony Mobile, which enhances our mobile security.
Infinity is a platform. The zero-day protection capabilities would come from the specific products we use within it.
My primary work involves Check Point firewalls and the Harmony product portfolio. We've definitely seen a lot of focus and new business growth in areas like Harmony and Arbor.
What is most valuable?
It's very easy to access and works fine for me. Centralizing the management of all our Check Point products in one place saves our team a ton of time.
Infinity is a platform rather than a specific security feature. It provides a central access point for our purchased Check Point products like Harmony Email, Harmony Connect, Harmony Browser, Harmony VPN, etc.
The unified management console enhances security operations. We manage all our products through a single console instead of needing to open separate interfaces for each one.
What needs improvement?
The updates could be less frequent.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for six years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Stability is always important. I haven't faced any issues with the Infinity Portal in the last six or seven years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There is no need for scalability as it is a ready-made and web-based product that we got from Check Point. Most of our customers use it, for example, firewalls, Harmony product portfolio, and cloud/network security. Most of these customers find the Infinity Portal beneficial because of its convenience.
There are easily over a hundred customers. Customers already using Check Point products are, by default, using the Infinity Portal to access them. Even I use it.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support are very good. It is very fast and customer friendly. It has been very friendly.
How was the initial setup?
It's incredibly easy. Once you have a Check Point account, the portal is ready to use. All you need is the URL.
As a cloud-based platform, so, there wasn't easy to difficult. It is a one-minute job. There are no specific requirements for the platform.
One of the benefits is that there's no deployment required for the Infinity Portal itself. It's accessible via a simple URL.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There's no additional license requirement.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It's reliable, stable, and very easy for anyone to access from anywhere.
