Find out in this report how the two AI Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
When I use different Check Point tools, I save support time overall.
The value is in the capacity to protect against problems or attacks with technology, developing and strengthening cybersecurity policies and administration.
I would say we can save about 90% of our budget with Check Point Infinity.
Time saved is a relevant metric; it used to take us a week, but now it takes us only a day.
I have seen a return on investment with Kong Konnect, as it helps manage security very well, allows for faster API deployments saving developer time, and reduces salary costs with better uptime and minimal downtime, thus preventing potential business loss.
I have seen the scalability of being able to manage 80 to 100-plus teams with a small team of about three or four people.
As soon as we raise a ticket, they engage promptly, indicating strong vendor support.
The technical support is excellent with quick response times.
Check Point support is very responsive.
Technical support from Proofpoint was absolutely excellent.
When I raise an incident or a support ticket, it gets answered in four hours.
They offer twenty-four-hour support with SLA-based response times.
The Infinity Portal lets us manage on-premises, cloud and edge environments from a single elastic console.
We have not faced any issues with scalability.
Check Point Infinity is scalable because Check Point has a deployment ecosystem with technical support and the quality of the final information from these tools.
The platform is fully scalable, providing various ways to manage data planes or runtimes.
Kong Konnect's scalability is very high, handles growth well, and since it is a stateless gateway, it scales easily in Kubernetes using horizontal scaling.
Kong Konnect is the control plane, and there is the ability to add more teams and more control planes based on the number of teams you have onboarding.
Check Point Infinity is a very stable solution; I don't remember experiencing any downtime.
Check Point Infinity is very stable for our company.
Check Point Infinity has achieved a 99.9% block rate on zero-day malware in the 2025 Miercom test.
It was very fast, and we did not experience any interruptions.
Kong Konnect is very stable with no issues regarding reliability in my experience.
I've seen them run at major scale in large companies across the whole of Europe.
A more guided setup process or contextual help within the dashboard would make it easier for new team members to get up to speed.
I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity.
I would improve Check Point Infinity by embedding some sort of analytics that indicates which attacks are coming from specific IP addresses very often so that we can block those IP addresses.
The licensing model could be simplified, especially in how they charge and track usage.
When comparing documentation, Kong's documentation is not on par with Google, Amazon, or other cloud providers.
Token integration presents challenges and has implementation complexities that need addressing.
In terms of pricing, I find Check Point Infinity to be an expensive product.
The setup cost or license is very high.
We received a relative discount for this.
Pricing was the issue as it becomes very expensive due to the nature of local circumstances.
I wouldn't say that the setup cost is much more compared to using any other product.
While the pricing model isn't very clear on how usage is tracked, the initial cost and setup for using Kong Konnect are reasonable.
Check Point uses robust AI software to detect and recognize all cyber-attacks, giving me the ability to prevent these attacks.
Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by making everything better, including the speed of the network and the security.
We have seen a faster response time and reduced effort from the network and security engineers while going through logs.
The documentation is excellent, and it includes a developer portal, which helps create a common distribution channel for APIs within and outside the enterprise.
When I mention scalability, it means that when we experience peak traffic, Kong made it easy for us to scale and spawn new machines.
The security features of Kong Konnect have helped my team mainly by allowing us to use auth and JWT for applications needing external identity provider authentications, such as LDAP or other authentication providers that need to be connected to back-end applications.
