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

"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"Since adopting Check Point Infinity, I have seen a noticeable improvement in how we manage and respond to security threats across our infrastructure."
"The Threat Prevention technology in Check Point Infinity has enhanced my security posture; that's very great, excellent, and helpful."
"One of the best features that Check Point Infinity offers in my experience is the centralized management console; being able to control policies, monitor threats, and manage firewalls, endpoints, and cloud security from a single pane of glass has been a game-changer."
"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 most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."
"The tool's most valuable feature for threat prevention is the encryption alarm. I find the centralized management console, including the log analyzer and reports in Check Point Infinity, extremely beneficial for enhancing security and operations efficiency in our enterprise. I would rate it a perfect ten out of ten, as it effectively helps us analyze logs, and detect potential attacks."
"Check Point Infinity has had a positive impact by providing a unified security framework that reduced complexity and improved visibility across all layers."
"The solution's most valuable features are the queries for the OpenTelemetry events and all the tracing."
"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 initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
 

Cons

"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"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."
"Something that should be better in Check Point Infinity is the customization, though I don't have any specific suggestions at this time."
"The customer support is average because I need to create different things in the portal to create a ticket."
"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."
"One point that led to the nine rating was an incident about two months ago where our inbound and outbound mail were going to quarantine and we could not do anything."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"The way Grit architecture is designed and how it works, it is and may not become an alternative choice of code security solutions."
"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 process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
 

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)."
"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"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."
"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 pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"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."
