Review summaries and opinions

ROI

Sentiment score
6.9
Check Point Infinity offers high ROI with superior security, cost savings, and performance, making it essential for cybersecurity.
Sentiment score
7.3
CrowdStrike Falcon improves productivity, reduces costs, minimizes downtime, enhances security, and delivers high user satisfaction with effective threat management.
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.
It's very easy to deploy without many IT admins, saving time.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.3
Check Point Infinity's customer service is praised for expertise and responsiveness but criticized for occasional delays and cumbersome ticketing.
Sentiment score
7.1
CrowdStrike Falcon's customer service is praised for responsiveness and expertise, though some suggest improvements in speed and communication.
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
8.2
Check Point Infinity offers scalable, flexible security solutions, integrating easily with existing systems and accommodating increased capacity seamlessly.
Sentiment score
7.9
CrowdStrike Falcon is praised for its scalable, cloud-based infrastructure, allowing easy deployment and expansion for diverse business sizes.
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
8.6
Check Point Infinity is highly stable and reliable, handling advised loads effectively with minimal downtime or maintenance needs.
Sentiment score
8.1
CrowdStrike Falcon is stable and reliable, though occasionally faces missed detections and minor disruptions during upgrades.
Check Point Infinity is a very stable solution; I don't remember experiencing any downtime.
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 faces criticism for technical support delays, confusing pricing, poor documentation, and performance issues, needing significant improvements.
CrowdStrike Falcon requires enhancements in reporting, integration, UI navigation, feature set, pricing, support, and compatibility with older OS.
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.
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 offers competitive pricing with flexible subscription models; license consultations and trials help tailor costs to needs.
CrowdStrike Falcon is pricey but valued for security, with per-device pricing and discounts possible for enterprises; free trial available.
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 unified security management, real-time analytics, and AI-driven threat prevention with seamless integration and Zero Trust framework.
CrowdStrike Falcon provides lightweight, AI-driven security with real-time response, easy integration, scalability, and minimal false positives.
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.
If we cannot keep our data secret, all our customers will be lost.
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.

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.
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.
