Helps prevent advanced threats and reduce incident response times through unified security policies
The best feature Check Point Infinity offers for me is threat prevention, which is effective at blocking malware, ransomware, and phishing, as well as preventing zero-day attacks before they reach users or systems. For our team, the threat prevention in Check Point Infinity works by layering multiple defenses that stop attacks before they reach users or systems, and the most effective feature for us is the specific SandBlast Zero-Day Prevention, which uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to detonate suspicious files in a safe environment. Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively, as I have seen a reduction in security incidents and response times, with threats that used to slip through different point solutions now being blocked automatically thanks to the unified prevention layers.

Centralized observability has improved transaction monitoring and now reduces errors through faster troubleshooting
Groundcover Observability Platform is already very vast, and improving it requires proper training for even a software developer to be able to use it. A person in tech needs training to navigate the system. The UI is better, but it can be improved to include a more intuitive design that easily explains itself to users so that navigation is simpler. Many features are hidden, and you need someone who is experienced with the platform to direct you on how to view certain information or complete specific tasks and walk you through the process. It would be better if Groundcover focused more on simplifying the user interface and improving human-computer interactions of the dashboard to make it so easy for a new developer or specialist to navigate and get what they need quickly. Querying data from Groundcover is not easy if you do not have specific information. You cannot perform a wildcard search in the text box. If you go to the log and enter an error message, it will not bring any results for you. You must first specify the workload or pods you are looking for, then enter the error. You need to add tags and put in your strings to be able to search for your particular logs or errors. If you just put a wildcard search in the text box, it will not work and will appear as if there are no logs that relate to that search, when in reality the logs exist. Making it easier for developers, users, and specialists using Groundcover to navigate and get what they need without the help of an experienced person walking them through is very important. This improvement is not about functionality but more about making navigation easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Powerful cyber security functionalities track workflows to block all threats that may arise and affect the workflow chain."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"The Check Point Infinity security architecture enables organizations to fully implement all of the Zero Trust Principles."
"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 detection and reaction rates are good."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"Troubleshooting is very fast compared to manual investigation or using the other forms of logging that we used to have, and downtime and errors have decreased because we are able to see our performance and workload pods performing better, increase CPU and memory resources as soon as usage goes above the threshold, and make our application more scalable and improve performance metrics, reducing the number of errors in the application by at least 70%."
"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."
 

Cons

"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"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."
"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"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."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"Technical support is something that needs improvement."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"Querying data from Groundcover is not easy if you do not have specific information."
"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."
"I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"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."
