Room For Improvement

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.
Obtaining validation for integrations from Palo Alto takes around eight months, which is quite long.
Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports.
Cortex XSIAM is on the expensive side and requires substantial improvement in pricing.

Featured Reviews

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.
AKASH MAJUMDER - PeerSpot reviewer
Incident response times have significantly reduced with efficient device integration and log parsing capabilities
Cortex XSIAM needs improvements in terms of data onboarding, parsers, and third-party integration supports. Additionally, a future update request is to enable tagging of endpoints in groups, similar to a feature available in Cortex XDR. The AI analytics need fine-tuning because some use cases are not working from my side.
