Room For Improvement

Check Point Infinity struggles with support delays, complex pricing, performance issues, and insufficient marketing, impacting its user appeal.
Users desire improved dashboard functionality, integration, machine learning, and interface enhancements with cost-effective options for better threat management.
I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity.
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.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers should carefully choose licenses for Check Point Infinity, balancing price with feature needs and transparent cost benefits.
CrowdStrike Falcon is pricier than competitors but valued for strong security, flexible features, and excellent support.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Check Point Infinity delivers seamless, centralized threat management with AI-driven detection, optimizing performance and security across all environments.
CrowdStrike Falcon excels with real-time threat detection, cloud-native flexibility, and seamless integration, enhancing endpoint security and management.
Check Point uses robust AI software to detect and recognize all cyber-attacks, giving me the ability to prevent these attacks.
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.
CrowdStrike handled it effectively. It was not detected by the credential vendor, and it was our new code.
The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature.

Provide unified threat prevention and response across our entire decentralized finance system
While Check Point Infinity offers a robust security operations platform, it could benefit from improvements in several areas. Firstly, the platform's pricing structure can be complex, which might be prohibitive for smaller businesses, limiting its accessibility. Simplifying the pricing model or offering more flexible pricing options could make Check Point Infinity more appealing to a wider range of organizations. Secondly, alert fatigue is a common issue with platforms that have strong detection capabilities. Implementing more filtering and prioritization mechanisms can help address this issue, ensuring that security teams can focus on the most critical threats. These are the areas where I believe there's room for improvement. In future releases, I would like to add more integration features. The ability to integrate seamlessly with more third-party applications would make it more customizable for our needs and simplify the integration process. This would improve our overall threat detection capabilities.
Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.
