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.
meetharoon - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Its pattern-matching and code transformation capabilities can be adapted for mass identification and remediation of vulnerable libraries
I asked very specific questions to Mr. Pell about consideration of code security scenarios in pattern design and rules, specifically that tuned with OWASP Top 10. I believe addition of code security focus can be a value-add, though the way Grit architecture is designed and how it works, it is and may not become an alternative choice of code security solutions. Rather, it must be treated as a powerful supplementary tool that augments the existing code security solutions (such as Snyk or Checkmarx) in a DevSecOps or Secure DevOps environment. Anyone interested in learning more on this front or have queries, can get in touch with me for a consulting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The detection and reaction rates are good."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"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."
"Check Point Infinity Portal is a cloud-based SaaS platform that serves as a unified security management control for an organization's entire infrastructure, including network, cloud, endpoint, mobile, and IoT."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."
"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"The approach offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency, consistency, and proactive security management, particularly valuable for organizations with large, distributed development teams."
"The solution's most valuable features are the queries for the OpenTelemetry events and all the tracing."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
 

Cons

"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"Technical support is pretty delayed."
"Something that should be better in Check Point Infinity is the customization, though I don't have any specific suggestions at this time."
"They need to update the guides."
"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 tool's technical support lags."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
"We can make alerts based on static numbers, which may block us from building alerts that could be generic enough or could be serviced."
"The way Grit architecture is designed and how it works, it is and may not become an alternative choice of code security solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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