Check Point Infinity Reviews

My company's clients use Check Point Infinity to protect their data.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise.

Endpoints are an area of concern when it comes to Check Point Infinity. There are some issues around the marketing of the endpoint solution, because of which it is not as prominent as other players in the market. The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts. If the marketing for the endpoint solutions offered by Check Point is done properly, then Check Point can get a more thorough positioning in the marketplace.

I have been using Check Point Infinity for two years. My company is a reseller of products from Check Point and Palo Alto. I have experience with the solution's latest version.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

A payment of 15,000 USD needs to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing costs attached to the solution.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Infinity is a single platform where you can integrate all the Check Point solutions such as Check Point Email Security, Check Point Endpoint Protection, Check Point SaaS, Check Point web proxy solutions, and Check Point Firewall. It can be integrated into the Infinity portal, and we can manage and configure it from the Infiniti portal.

Infinity is a technical console where we have to log in, and we can navigate to all the products very easily because it is written in a normal installation. People who know about the product can click and take care of their activity.

Technical support is pretty delayed. It's very slow, and they have not yet received their IT. Compared to other OEMs, Check Point's response is a bit slow but could have been improved. There are two areas to improve: The latency of the sandboxing and the technical support efficacy.

I have been using Check Point Infinity for five years.

I never felt any downtime or any login issues. Whenever I try to log in, it happens properly and normally.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

5,000 end users are using the solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

The initial setup is very straightforward. Also, the OEM vendor will help you with the login, configure the authentication, get into the login, or get into the console, load your device, and start configuring it.

Check Point Infinity offers numerous benefits. It provides peace of mind by simplifying security management. It is responsible for on-premises security, allowing users to configure it anywhere. Additionally, it enables seamless remote connection, even if the user is away from the central point. It's the latest in security technology, offering immense value.

Customers need to pay yearly.

Infiniti is a portal that integrates multiple products.

It's a unified management console. I'm able to manage all the solutions and products from my single Infinity console regardless of multiple branches across the globe, anywhere in the world, and they can be controlled from a single console. The major benefit is the SaaS offering. So, customers don't have to manage everything or keep any infrastructure on-premises; it's completely provided by Check Point, with data centers integrated into Infinity. Thus, there are no data integration problems.

Check Point Infinity is well known for its CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) technology rather than CRO (Customer Revenue Optimization) debt protection. This technology is primarily associated with its sandboxing capabilities. However, there is room for improvement in terms of latency when scanning and delivering attachments, links, or files. Although the delay is often negligible, competitors may offer faster results with their sandboxing solutions.

For customers prioritizing robust security, performance, and stability, Check Point can be an excellent choice. Their extensive technical expertise and global deployments contribute to the reliability of their products. With the Infinity architecture, which facilitates comprehensive threat coverage, Check Point offers scalability, reliability, and expandability across various infrastructure needs.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

The updates could be less frequent. 

I have been using it for six years now. 

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.

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.

The customer service and support are very good. It is very fast and customer friendly. It has been very friendly. 

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.

There's no additional license requirement.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It's reliable, stable, and very easy for anyone to access from anywhere.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

I've used the solution for one year.

Today we have the need to protect various infrastructures we have. We have infrastructure on-premise and in the cloud, and we have a variety of branches. All of the infrastructures has demanded greater security from us. We needed a new and evolved way of managing equipment and the security of our infrastructure. As a result of all these concerns, we have been adopting innovative security technologies, and this is where we have added additional value to the protection that we want to give to each of the places where we have hosted data and information. We have been adopting the themes of Infinity Cloud to have total protection.

Infinity has come to give us total protection. It has come to cover branches, devices, infrastructure, different clouds, and various types of sites where we host data, and we need to share it between the different regions we have a presence in. It has given us the protection that we did not have before.

The segmentation and management came in decentralized, which means that this has given us protection while providing the ability to centralize a single portal for our security teams so that each one of them can administer and manage everything. Infinity is of great value as it can centralize all those dashboards. Before we had them separate.

Everyone who uses Check Point products has been realizing that it has been innovating in immense ways. Before we had the perimeter network administration teams in one place, with the management of mobile devices or web browsing handled separately. Today, we have them in a centralized place and are managing (in different tabs) the security of each of its devices, branches, clouds, etc. It is a more efficient way to take advantage of all the computing power and intelligence behind it. And it has additional AI.

In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud. Infinity Cloud is one of the most powerful clouds in security where a number of sites or technological capabilities have been established to protect our networks, our equipment, and our infrastructure, however, in the future what we could have is a comprehensive and novel way for new or additional features to protect services such as blockchain or web services3.

I've used the solution for one year.

As part of a large organization, this product gained the visibility of our security team thanks to its reputation of having the most advanced technology against the latest cyber threats. 

It protects everything, from cloud and company networks to endpoints and mobile devices, by adopting Check Point Infinity security architecture as a strategy to neutralize fifth-generation threats that spread fast and at a large scale through different vectors. 

We also saved money in our security implementation measures with this solution.

Check Point Infinity's security framework requires all users to be authorized and authenticated regardless they're from within or outside the organization. In order to maintain or gain more access to applications and data, the users have to be continuously validated by posture and security checkpoints as if there was no traditional network edge. Whether the network's in the cloud, local, both, or hybrid, and regardless of the location of the worker, the solution is comprehensive to the digital transformation taking place. It opens lots of backdoors and exposes gaps consequence of non-stop data sharing.

You can tell this product's standards have gone through heavy validation and testing; it's always verifying access from all resources at all times. If a breach happens, it minimizes its impact, which is a determining factor of its efficiency (worst-case scenario behavior), and incorporates the data to strategize on the best possible responses with the most accurate neutralizing actions. It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol.

The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths. We could use more audiovisual material with more examples of setups and configurations to minimize the need to discover the information we need in the extensive documents we have available. 

The support team is great. However, we don't want to be constantly on the phone with a technician for Q&A or even to open tickets to design our protocols the way the company requests them.

We use the solution for testing and conducting. For instance, we test this product using open-source samples containing different ransomware tools and another element.

The detection rate is good. It also has personal management that provides all the details on one dashboard. Depending upon the requirements, you can customize the dashboard. The visibility part is also very good. It can customised. The reaction rate is good.

There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance. The EDR part should provide more features.

I have been using Check Point Infinity for 6 months.

The solution’s scalability is good but complex to maintain. They need to provide technical training to the partners. Expanding the team to get expertise and hands-on solutions will be easy.

Support is not that much good. Response time is very high. Some issues take a few days to resolve.

The initial setup is neither easy nor complex. Any technical user can quickly deploy it. You need two to three resources to monitor and support the solution for a thousand assets. We use email deployment and data deployment. You don't use manual deployment. It is challenging for multiple users.

Check Point is a universal solution with multiple features that customers expect in one product to meet all the requirements.

The product has moderate pricing depending on the devices. The OEM's services are quite high.

We are a cybersecurity company providing solutions for our customers. We tested the Check Point solution, not just as a solution provider but also to assess cybersecurity for Check Point. We tested various products and have found that the Check Point endpoint protection offers multiple capabilities. It covers postal management, DDR capabilities, and many other features, such as cloud assessment and sandboxing in the cloud.

They should have a dedicated team or take services from third-party sources to maintain the solution. They can have this solution for endpoint protection and mobile protection.

We can customize the dashboard to meet our needs. We can tailor the dashboard to display the information we need depending on our requirements.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

It is a good tool. If we plan to change the password, we don't have to change the MX Points or SPF settings, as it works with Microsoft 365. It helps us prevent losing emails.

Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8.

We have been using Check Point Infinity for two months. We did a POC for it.

It is a stable product. 

It is a scalable product.

The technical support services are good. We reach them regarding technical errors. They reply with the solutions in a few hours.
