Cons
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal.""The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear.""We have had some performance issues.

One area is the user-friendly integration of privacy-focused features.""The updates could be less frequent.""We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution.""The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster.""They need to update the guides."

More Check Point Infinity Cons →

"Using it in the beginning was difficult because I had never used anything similar. In terms of navigating the UI, it was all not too bad, but there is definitely a learning curve.""The guides or best practices of Check Point are difficult to find for the client. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make better implementations.""They need to improve the GUI interface.""The initial setup was complex because of the lack of information from the consultant.""In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI.""There have been a couple of things that we've tried where we read through the documentation, and we were really looking for some help in implementing, and technical support wanted me to try it first, then call them if it breaks. It would be nicer if they would hold my hand a bit more. It makes me nervous in production, as I don't have a lab.""At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster.""There is a limit on the number of files that can be scanned in real-time, which could lead to us being found with our guard down on a high-traffic day."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
  • "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)."

  • "The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
  • "While the initial payment might be perceived as relatively higher, the absence of hidden supplementing charges contributes to a straightforward and clear pricing model. The pricing is cheap and moderate."
  • "When it comes to price, the paramount consideration is the strength of the security. If the security measures provided by the product, such as Check Point Infinity, are robust and meet our requirements, price becomes a secondary concern."
