Chetan Bhati - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Security Engineer at Arrow PC Network Pvt Ltd
Improves daily threat prevention with real-time detection and requires better alert tuning for faster prioritization
Check Point Infinity is powerful, but there are a few areas that could improve. The learning curve for new users can be steep, especially when managing multiple modules like CloudGuard, Quantum, and Harmony together. Some alerts can be overwhelming, making it harder to prioritize without fine-tuning. While automation helps, occasional manual adjustments are still needed. Overall, it is strong, but simplifying onboarding and alert management would make it even better. Integration with third-party tools could be smoother. The reporting dashboard could be more customizable for quick insights. Performance on very large networks can sometimes slow during updates. Overall, while the platform is strong, improving user experience, alert management, and integration would make it even more efficient for daily operations.
Amir Baum - PeerSpot reviewer
Full Stack Developer at Augury Inc.
Monitoring microservices has become streamlined and custom dashboards provide clear bug insights
I cannot think of something specific regarding improvements for Groundcover Observability Platform as it is quite effective, especially compared to my previous experience with a Rapid7 platform, which was considerably worse. I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement.

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."
"The advanced threat prevention feature has significantly helped my organization; for example, Check Point Infinity flagged a suspicious file that had bypassed our email filters, and it turned out to be a zero-day malware—the threat prevention engine blocked it before it reached the user and gave us an alert instantly, saving us from a potential data breach."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"The all-in-one management feature of Check Point Infinity saves time because I can manage everything and deploy everything from one place."
"Check Point Infinity has had a positive impact by providing a unified security framework that reduced complexity and improved visibility across all layers."
"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"Check Point Infinity's threat prevention capabilities benefitted our organization."
"For me, one of the best features of Check Point Infinity is to be able to have the possibility of emulating the activity of attached files with malicious content in such a short time."
"Groundcover Observability Platform has impacted my organization positively as it is the primary way we use observability in our company, so it has a significant impact."
"Groundcover Observability Platform scales effectively with our organization's growth as we add new environments and everything works great, and the migration from our old product went very smoothly, allowing us to deprecate it rather quickly."
"We switched to Groundcover Observability Platform primarily because of the difficult query syntax in our previous solution, and we chose Groundcover for their business model as they don't charge based on log storage, they provide the infrastructure, and from a security perspective, the data stays in-house, which wasn't the case with our previous tool."
 

Cons

"The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"I think Check Point Infinity could be improved in terms of documentation. I need more images and pictures, and the steps should be more intuitive."
"One area for improvement in Check Point Infinity is the user interface, as it can feel complex for new users."
"In terms of pricing, I find Check Point Infinity to be an expensive product. In fact, we are evaluating even the spam filter for emails from Check Point, but it was prohibitively costly, so we dropped it and are using Microsoft Defender."
"Some alerts can be overwhelming, making it harder to prioritize without fine-tuning."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Groundcover Observability Platform as an eight out of ten; while I haven't experienced issues personally, I am aware they occasionally encounter some challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
"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 pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
