Sentiment score

The value is in the capacity to protect against problems or attacks with technology, developing and strengthening cybersecurity policies and administration.
I would say we can save about 90% of our budget with Check Point Infinity.
CrowdStrike Falcon saves time and offers good value for money, especially for enterprise companies, because it can stop breaches.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Check Point Infinity's support is praised for expertise and resources, but some report delays and suggest enhancing educational tools.
Sentiment score
7.0
CrowdStrike Falcon support is valued for responsiveness and expertise, though growth causes delays; premium support is highly rated.
As soon as we raise a ticket, they engage promptly, indicating strong vendor support.
The technical support is excellent with quick response times.
Check Point support is very responsive.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the technical support as a 10 because they resolve many issues for us.
The CrowdStrike team is very efficient; I would rate them ten out of ten.
They could improve by initiating calls for high-priority cases instead of just opening tickets.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Check Point Infinity offers scalable and flexible cybersecurity solutions for organizations, supporting growth and adaptable deployment across applications.
Sentiment score
7.9
CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability and adaptability make it ideal for diverse platforms, though costs may limit expansive deployments.
Check Point Infinity is scalable because Check Point has a deployment ecosystem with technical support and the quality of the final information from these tools.
It has adequate coverage and is easy to deploy.
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
There's no scalability limitation from CrowdStrike itself, as it just requires agent deployment.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Check Point Infinity offers high stability, strong performance, and 50% improved speed, with minor latency issues and strong customer support.
Sentiment score
8.1
CrowdStrike Falcon is highly regarded for its stability, efficiency, and reliability, with minor update issues quickly resolved.
If they provide timely and effective support, it would enhance stability and minimize glitches considerably.
I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen.
 

Room For Improvement

Check Point Infinity users criticize support delays, complex licensing, outdated documentation, portal latency, integration issues, and frequent updates.
CrowdStrike Falcon needs system integration, better reporting, reduced false positives, enhanced support, advanced features, and flexible pricing.
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.
When I log a ticket, they often take a long time to resolve the issue, with some tickets remaining unresolved for over six months.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
 

Setup Cost

Check Point Infinity's pricing is moderate to high; users value its features but note high initial setup costs.
CrowdStrike Falcon's pricing ranges from $30-$100 per user annually, ideal for large enterprises but costly for smaller businesses.
In terms of pricing, I find Check Point Infinity to be an expensive product.
The pricing is good as Check Point Infinity includes many tools and details that others might not have.
The product, as supported by Check Point, offers invaluable assistance for ease of deployment.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
The licensing cost and setup costs are affordable.
The solution is a bit expensive.
 

Valuable Features

Check Point Infinity provides centralized security management with Zero Trust, real-time threat prevention, automation, and scalability for diverse business needs.
CrowdStrike Falcon provides robust threat intelligence, AI-driven detection, and seamless integration with minimal system impact and intuitive interface.
Check Point uses robust AI software to detect and recognize all cyber-attacks, giving me the ability to prevent these attacks.
Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing incidents.
Check Point Infinity offers a multi-layered security approach that enhances our IT security environment.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
Being an EDR solution, it helps us identify attacks in real-time.

NareshKumar9 - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved network security with real-time threat detection and alert system
There is room for improvement in Check Point Infinity as I encounter some glitches in its interface. Sometimes, the data utilization report does not show up in Check Point Infinity GUI, necessitating me to reach out to their support team, who typically indicates firmware issues that require new installations. This process can be frustrating, and I feel it should be addressed to enhance user experience. The customer support needs enhancement as well. When I log a ticket, they often take a long time to resolve the issue, with some tickets remaining unresolved for over six months. This duration is unacceptable, and it definitely needs to change; however, aside from that, everything else is satisfactory with Check Point Infinity.
Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.
