Lider Soporte Cloud at a security firm with 51-200 employees

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."

"It is a stable solution."

"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox pros

Cons

"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."

"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."

"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."

"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."

"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."

"Technical support is pretty delayed."

More Check Point Infinity cons

"When you reach the maximum capacity, you cannot upgrade the solution because its hardware is very expensive."

"The integration is limited. The solution needs to offer better integration with multiple vendors."

"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."

"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."

"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."

"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiSandbox is complex. You cannot only deploy Fortinet FortiSandbox without deploying the stack of Fortinet solutions. The implementation and integration are challenging tasks with the device and placement in the network. We needed to do POC and offloading testing."

"I would like to have machine learning added to the solution in a future release."

"In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included."

More Fortinet FortiSandbox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point should provide an enterprise-wide license where the organization should be provided free hand of using any license or services for an agreed period of time (EULA)."

"When it comes to price, the paramount consideration is the strength of the security. If the security measures provided by the product, such as Check Point Infinity, are robust and meet our requirements, price becomes a secondary concern."

"The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."

"The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."

"The solution is affordable."

"It is an expensive solution."

"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."

"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is not expensive."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"There are additional costs, which isn't included in the licensing fee."

"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."

"The solution is not expensive at all."
