Featured Reviews

Ashish Upadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

We have visibility and control through real-time user behavior analytics
It took us some time to realize its benefits because there was a learning curve for us. It took us about a year to get our heads around this product and start effectively using it. It is a journey. It takes at least five years for any company to make this product very useful and reach maturity. It is not only the product's fault. The company needs to have a vision, and the company culture needs to go with it. Senior leadership needs to support the vision. You need to have lots of ingredients for success. If everything is in place, you will see success after one year. In the first year, it is a struggle for everybody. My company was bought by a bigger company, and they were very new to privileged access management. Everybody was struggling. The advice I would give is to have a good vision for privileged access management. You need dedicated teams, senior management support, and proper company policies and standards before implementing the solution. Start building knowledge slowly and avoid jumping into the deep end without preparation. I would rate CyberArk Privileged Access Manager a nine out of ten.
