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.
Manikumar David - PeerSpot reviewer
Faced with deployment challenges but benefits from detailed reporting and cost efficiency
CrowdStrike sits at the kernel level and we don't know how it's operating, but we get the message; however, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes has issues with policies where users complain about popping up notifications. When we were using CrowdStrike, it used to detect and block pirated software, but ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is not doing that. The blocking notification in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform comes in when it is installed from the user; it should not disturb them because we are in a domain environment, and sometimes users are not able to bypass or minimize many things they are facing. Additionally, it is not detecting pirated software, which could be a bug. I trust ESET Endpoint Protection Platform, and they should ensure that software with bugs are not getting through. While it is cheap, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform sometimes makes the computer run slower and takes backup, which affects system performance. If the price is low, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is saving money, but time-wise, we face problems because when users have issues, we need to spend time rectifying them.
