Great analytics and AI with helpful centralizations capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
  • "We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."

What is our primary use case?

We were looking for a solution that would allow us to establish a configuration with the different security devices remotely while centralizing management and including other products available at the security level. 

We looked into different options and brands that allowed us to establish, achieve and fulfill this need. This was one of the solutions that met all of these aforementioned characteristics, thus giving us 360º protection and accommodation in terms of managing security services. 

How has it helped my organization?

This solution gave us the freedom to be an institution with its own security team, which has allowed us to establish ourselves. It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization. It allows us to establish all security products or security software under a single pane with a single view of a centralized dashboard. We are managing everything from there and have been able to handle threat prevention. It has allowed us, in a complete way, to handle expanded organizational scope. 

What is most valuable?

The portal gives us many advantages. 

It has great internal analytics, which contains artificial intelligence. It has the ability to be managed centrally and acquire and consume computing power from the cloud. This means that we will make a payment for the use of the services and a payment for the licensing. Additionally, computing power doesn't all come in a single license. We can take a single product and enable and facilitate it as necessary, making all of these capabilities and features available as needed. 

What needs improvement?

We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution. It is included in the Infinity service, and it needs to be able to be restarted only from the background, with the brand's specialists - not done in an autonomous way. Developing this aspect and making it available to everyone consuming the services through the platform would help us manage many of the incidents due to cosmetic errors that can happen on the platform.

Reliable, good at emulating threats, and is easy to manage
Pros and Cons
  • "For me, one of the best features of Check Point Infinity is to be able to have the possibility of emulating the activity of attached files with malicious content in such a short time."
  • "They need to update the guides."

What is our primary use case?

As we adapt to the changes left by the pandemic, we must adapt our technologies, our equipment, and the traditional scheme in which we worked must evolve.

As a result of these changes, we have been adopting security and much of the administration with fully cloud services to be able to adapt to these changes and give greater adaptability to our technologies.

With Check Point Infinity, we have the possibility of managing our platform from the cloud. It also offers us centralization and other solutions of the same portfolio in one place, taking advantage of great advantages; it is at this point where Check Point allows us to take advantage of a secure and centralized administration.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Infinity is one of the solutions that has given us more value, being able to adopt their cloud where they centralize many solutions. Taking advantage of all that computing power, we assure users inside or outside the organization are safe. After all, due to the changes produced by the pandemic, we have had to evolve with security and administration.

To have a cloud such as Check Point Infinity is to have an ally that puts at our disposal many solutions from a single portal. It offers great response at the level of security. 

What is most valuable?

For me, one of the best features of Check Point Infinity is to be able to have the possibility of emulating the activity of attached files with malicious content in such a short time. This capacity is of great value. Many times we want to know what an attack does and how an attack is exploited on our computers. With what we have learned from emulation we can reinforce our security lines or bases. You can learn a lot while always staying protected.

What needs improvement?

They need to update the guides. The product has improved a lot. However, its support guides are still the same as they were seven years ago. I say this from experience. For example, for configuration, it is necessary in some cases to consult these same guides and you see yourself looking at references the old information is still there. 

The support for Latin America is one of those that is also a bit neglected. We are without direct technicians speaking in Spanish. In some cases and their support is fast, however, this cultural shock makes interaction difficult, and when it comes to the escalation of the problems, mainly when the cases are urgent or escalated, the most experienced technicians only speak English.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for around two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is scalable and is very complete. It centralizes everything.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a really complete solution. It manages to cover everything in the Infinity Check Point Portal.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

What Check Point currently does at the security level is very good. However, some prices in reference to licenses are a bit high. An example is how they sell SSL.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options.

Good visibility and analytics, helpful customer support, and enables micro-segmentation across the network
Pros and Cons
  • "The Check Point Infinity security architecture enables organizations to fully implement all of the Zero Trust Principles."
  • "The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."

What is our primary use case?

We use Check Point Infinity to protect our organization against the latest generation cyber-attacks, characterized by large-scale spread and fast movement across multiple attack vectors.

These sophisticated attacks are on mobile devices, endpoints, cloud, and various enterprise networks. They easily bypass the conventional, static detection-based systems used by organizations today.

The legacy perimeter-focused security approaches have become ineffective. The outdated assumption that everything inside the security perimeter can be trusted leaves organizations exposed for vulnerability and attack.

To protect the organization, we need to move up to the latest generation of cybersecurity tools. These combine real-time threat prevention, shared intelligence, and the most advanced zero-trust security across network, cloud, endpoint, and mobile devices.

How has it helped my organization?

Rebuilding security infrastructure around the Zero Trust approach, using disparate technologies might lead to complexities and inherent security gaps. To avoid errors and provide robust security, Check Point offers more practical and holistic approaches to implement Zero Trust. It is based on a single consolidated cybersecurity architecture, Check Point Infinity.

Check Point provides different solutions to protect organizations at each level. They have products that can work in a silo or can be integrated with other security solutions to enhance security by mitigating risk and providing a dashboard for monitoring.  

Generated logs can be sent to a SIEM solution, where a use case or action can be defined against raised alerts. Automated policies/processes can be created accordingly.

For example, if we need to block communication from a suspicious IP for which an alert has been raised, and send it to ServiceNow. We can create a playbook on the ServiceNow platform for raisings an alert, which will instruct the NGFW firewall to block the connection.

What is most valuable?

The Check Point Infinity security architecture enables organizations to fully implement all of the Zero Trust Principles.

Zero Trust Security, Check Point Infinity is an architecture provided by Check Point that includes a solution for protecting organizations at different levels. 

Zero Trust Networks: The Check Point Security Gateway enables micro-segmentation across the organization's network. Integration with Identity awareness and Application Control enables policy enforcement at a granular level.

Zero Trust Workloads: Protect workloads hosted in private and public clouds, enforce compliance, detect and remediate misconfiguration.

Zero Trust People: Identity awareness enables granting access to data for authorized users with SSO and MFA.

Zero Trust Devices: Sandblast Agent Endpoint and Check Point Sandblast Mobile protect employees' mobile devices and workstations from advanced attacks, Zero-day malware, malicious app installation, and more. Network-based threat prevention protects devices from threats that are coming from the network and vice versa.

Zero Trust Data: Protect data by performing full hard disk encryption on endpoint and external media encryption on all removable storage media. Data shared to external partners over the Internet is encrypted by site-to-site VPN and client-to-site VPN.

Visibility and Analytics: The Check Point attack dashboard allows for immediate response to security incidents and provides real-time forensics for investigating events.

Automation and Orchestration: Security architecture integration with organization border IT environment enhances speed and agility, incident response, policy accuracy, and task delegation.

What needs improvement?

The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear. As infinity licenses are based on the number of users, it confuses larger organizations, where not every user needs every service. 

For example:

For an organization size of more than 100,000 users, where only a few users need to have access to SandBlast Mobile for protecting their BYOD devices against threats, and there are a few users that need Capsule to access corporate data, and in addition, if the organization needs to protect all of the user's email accounts using Check Point Email Security, then it creates issues in terms of the license count. It is confusing when it comes to figuring out how to fulfill the requirements.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Check Point solutions are stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a framework, so it is scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is excellent.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are using this solution to provide having security at each level of the environment.

How was the initial setup?

Different solutions or products from Check Point are involved for creating complete this security framework.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed with an in-house team with OEM support.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point should provide an enterprise-wide license where the organization should be provided free hand of using any license or services for an agreed period of time (EULA).

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have worked with different products from Check Point and other security solutions.

What other advice do I have?

This is a security architecture. Organizations can use different Check Point solutions for protecting different environments, such as the network, email, endpoints, and more.

Offers a unified security approach that provides full control over users and what they can do
Pros and Cons
  • "We have full control over what our employees can do with the devices we provide them, to provide a secure and reliable network infrastructure."
  • "I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."

What is our primary use case?

Our company works in the area of developing and delivering online gambling platforms. The Check Point Next-Generation Firewalls are the core security solution we use for the protection of our datacenter environment located in Asia (Taiwan).

The environment has about 50 physical servers as virtualization hosts, and we have two HA Clusters that consist of 2x5400 hardware appliances, managed by an OpenServer Security Management Server on a Virtual Machine (KVM), all running on R80.10 with the latest JumboHotfix.

How has it helped my organization?

The "Infinity" is not some standalone security solution, but the way you plan and implement the whole security infrastructure of your company. It contains all the modern components from Check Point. 

In our company, we use the hardware appliances, Next-Generation Firewalls, with a bunch of blades activated (DLP, IPS, VPN, etc.) to protect the data centers. Our data centers are controlled by the Check Point Security management, with the current version being R80.10. These are the basic building blocks of Check Point Infinity, and they work just great together. They also allow for the future extension and we are thinking about adding the Anti-DDOS protection on the edge of our environments. 

We are fully satisfied with the abilities it provides and the general approach of the Check Point solutions.

What is most valuable?

The Check Point Infinity architecture is the unified approach for building the unified security infrastructure of our company. I like that it covers all the pieces of the modern enterprise organization security needs including offices and data centers, public cloud environments, and the interconnects between them. It also protects end-user devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

We have full control over what our employees can do with the devices we provide them, to provide a secure and reliable network infrastructure. I also like that all of the components are tightly integrated and there is a single endpoint to control all the elements. This is called the Smart Console.

What needs improvement?

Even though we have had several support cases opened for the components of the Check Point Infinity architecture, as an administrator, I'm satisfied with the solution and the abilities it provides. I can't describe any disadvantages at the moment, except for the overall price of purchasing and maintaining the entire set of components.

I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain. Maintenance requires that the licenses and the support services be prolonged regularly.

Alternatively, they should create some additional bundles of the software blades with significant discounts in addition to the current Next Generation Threat Prevention & SandBlast (NGTX) and Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP) offers.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the Check Point Infinity for about three years, starting in late 2017.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

All of the components in Check Point Infinity are mature and stable and we have not encountered any issue with that.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution scales well with the hardware we have, and we see that scalability, the Active-Active HA mode, doesn't affect the overall performance much after activation.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have had several support cases opened, but none of them were connected with the Check Point Mobile Access Software Blade. Some of the issues were resolved by installing the latest recommended JumoHotfix, whereas some required additional configuration at the OS kernel level.

The longest issue took about one month to be resolved, which we consider too long.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have not used any solution of this kind before.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was straightforward. The configuration was easy and understandable, and we relied heavily on built-in objects and groups.

What about the implementation team?

Our deployment was completed by our in-house team. We have a Check Point Certified engineer working in the engineering team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We decided to stick to the Check Point Infinity after the demo with the vendor.

What other advice do I have?

The Check Point Infinity security architecture is a robust and modern security solution for organizations of any size, but make sure that you have a dedicated budget to maintain it. It is really not cheap.

Also, it is better to have a dedicated and certified Check Point specialist in your engineering team, since the solution is complex.

Easy to deploy with a nice GUI and good AI
Pros and Cons
  • "The sandblast threat emulation is great."
  • "We'd like to see support for fiber connections."

What is our primary use case?

We required a first line of defense to protect, monitor, and ensure that no confidential information leaves the internal network. We also required a device that can segment our network so that different subnets like the DMZ, Production network, and testing environments. Threat prevention that required AI and ML capabilities was another reason to acquire the Check Point Quantum Spark NGFW. Finally, it offers an all-in-one solution that was a necessity where the same instance could manage and monitor VPNs, application control, web filtering, intrusion detection, and email security.

How has it helped my organization?

With Check Point Quantum Spark, we have a first line of defense in our environment, seated just after the router that connects to the ISP's endpoint, all traffic entering and leaving the network is monitored, and filtered depending on the different rules created. 

The functionality of AI helps further in the threat detection field. This NGFW is able to support a large number of VPN connections and at the same time monitor these connections for any anomaly. 

Finally, for any flagged threats, a sandbox functionality is also provided making it even more robust in detecting zero-day attacks.

What is most valuable?

The sandblast threat emulation is great. We are able to visualize the extent of specific threats without necessarily having them deployed in our environment. The Sandbox feature is able to virtualize an environment that can mirror what we have in the internal environment.

The quality of Service for different traffic types is excellent. We are able to prioritize business-critical traffic over other types of traffic like streaming.

Artificial intelligence threat profiling has helped a lot in detecting and protecting the internal network from zero-day, DNS, and DDoS attacks. 

What needs improvement?

We'd like to see support for fiber connections. With the growth of the network, we would expect that more and more traffic is going through this device and soon enough, the bottleneck will be the type of connection being used to transfer data to the router and further to the ISP. A throughput of 1GBPS will hinder performance on the network.

Configuring fault tolerance for specific features, for example, power sources would ensure that the chances of the system shutting down due to a power surge are highly limited. This can further increase the SLA to 99.99%

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution for three years and we just recently upgraded to the 1535 series.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The system is stable and able to perform with the advised load without fail. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Quantum Spark is designed for small to medium businesses. With this in mind, the scalability is perfect and will support up to a firewall throughput of 1GBPS which is favorable for an SMB.

How are customer service and support?

The Check Point customer service is prompt and with their knowledge base, the majority of the issues incurred are already cleared noted with a list of multiple solutions. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously we used the Sophos XGS series. The Sophos XGS firewall no longer met the business' growing needs as it further led to a slowness in the performance of the network hence the search for a new system that would fix this.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. Check Point's GUI interfaces are user-friendly, and it also provides a lot of information on setting up their devices.

What about the implementation team?

This was an in-house deployment. 

What was our ROI?

With the increased internal network performance and a decrease in the threats being exposed to the network; the return on investment for this is roughly in the range of 40% to 60%.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Quantum Spark has different subscription models where you can add more functionality as required. For a constrained budget, you can specifically pick out the functionalities you want, and pay for that.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also considered:

  • Cisco ASA 5500 series
  • Cisco FirePower 1000s

Great infinity portal, modern, intuitive.
Pros and Cons
  • "New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."
  • "The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster."

What is our primary use case?

Our vendor told us about the solution. It was not required to use a management server since this portal provided the same service of free or licensed with the same logic already obtained from our GWs.             

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Infinity Portal has given us an excellent complete solution where we can use many security plugins integrated into a single console and is providing that centralized security environment that all companies look for, including logs, monitoring, and security from the same part.

This portal is extremely intuitive as well as versatile and accessible from anywhere, providing all this control and business security in an easy way.

New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal.

Check Point Infinity is a great tool.

What is most valuable?

One of the most important features is the simple access. It's easy from anywhere, it's safe, and you can even use MFA to have a security layer for administrator users.

It is a centralized portal that provides all the features required for cloud environments, to manage our gateways developed in Microsoft Azure.

This portal also has an incredible availability since I've been using it I haven't had log in problems or service outages, quite useful to integrate all the new products.

Its costs are quite accessible.

What needs improvement?

In general, Check Point can improve its documentation. Sometimes they are very old. They could include more examples to guide customers in their implementations.

I have noticed that new technologies are more difficult to find guides. Without them, the objective to implement them correctly is not always achieved.

On the other hand, I think it is good to improve the support service since it is somewhat slow for cloud issues, they are resolved, but after several weeks, I think the solution SLA should be improved.

The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster.

For how long have I used the solution?

Check Point Infinity is a completely innovative security solution that we have used for the administrative use of both Check Point Harmony and Check Point SmartCloud to manage our gateways. It is a solution that does not use a server provisioned by the client. It is located in a web portal in which you can incorporate many of these features like the ones we currently use. We have been using it for more than two years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a solution as complete as Check Point Infinity Portal.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is important to have access to licensing consultations with a direct Check Point vendor to determine needs. In addition, the costs are not always public, which is why it is very helpful to have someone to assist.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have previously evaluated other technologies and manufacturers. However, the most complete is Check Point.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend this security tool. However, it is important to validate with your Check Point partner if it fits your business needs.

portal very automated, modern
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems."
  • "The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty."

What is our primary use case?

When validating the centralized environment, we began to use other tools of the Check Point family that are available through the portal.

Some licenses already bring what is required to be able to manage.

The tool complies with the mobility issue since it can be used from anywhere.

The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems.

Its quite intuitive dashboard helped us a lot with the administration.

How has it helped my organization?

At the company level, we managed not to have to depend on a server that was implemented together with the company's infrastructure. Still, really it is only necessary to join the portal.

The license was included for its use.

By also providing a fairly intuitive portal, it allows security administrator users to carry out their tasks in a simple way. For example, it is only necessary to switch to the Harmony Blade to be able to manage policies and controls over them.

The monitoring theme is quite efficient.

What is most valuable?

Check Point Infinity Portal achieved many of the company's requirements, including:

1- An easy and fast implementation of the portal.

2- Licensing is already included in some Check Point tools, such as the Check Point gateways.

3- Accessibility from anywhere.

4- Use of MFA to ensure the identity of the user.

5- An automated, modern, and simple portal for security administrators.

This is a very good management tool, which saves logs depending on the policy implemented from the beginning to have portal information that can be used later.

What needs improvement?

Some points of improvement of the centralized management tool may be the latency that is rarely provided when managing, for example, the smart cloud of Check Point for gateways.

The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty.

As for support for modern and cloud-based tools, they are somewhat more difficult to solve quickly.

For how long have I used the solution?

This is an excellent centralizing tool. We started using it to manage our Check Point gateways.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a quite stable solution and does not require maintenance by the client.

It has some performance problems, however, they are few. In itself the tool is quite interesting and powerful.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have not used a cloud management tool before. Some are similar yet do not meet what Check Point can offer.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The issue of licensing is not required since some solutions already include management with this portal. Similarly, it is essential to register with a partner who can delve into the manufacturer's options for the client's benefit.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Of course, validation of the available documentation of the tools is always carried out, however, Check Point was adjusted to what is required by the company.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend the use of this administration portal.
