We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol.""The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more.""The detection and reaction rates are good.""The product, a cloud-based unified security solution, facilitates the automation of security threat detection and vulnerability management across various endpoints, including mobile and IoT devices. A notable feature is the centralized administration, allowing monitoring of existing solutions from web and mobile devices in a unified interface.""The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems.""The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise.""It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization.""New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."

"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration.""The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator.""Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable.""The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it.""What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder.""The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics.""The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping.""I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."

Cons
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal.""While Check Point Infinity is a robust and innovative solution, some areas could benefit from improvement. One area is the user-friendly integration of privacy-focused features.""In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud.""We'd like to see support for fiber connections.""Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow.""The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths.""The updates could be less frequent.""The tool should focus on improving artificial intelligence and customer support services."

More Check Point Infinity Cons →

"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified.""Security needs improvement.""An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases.""The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together.""I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial.""The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems.""There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome.""Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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)."
  • "The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
  • "The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
  • "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."
  • "While the initial payment might be perceived as relatively higher, the absence of hidden supplementing charges contributes to a straightforward and clear pricing model. The pricing is cheap and moderate."
  • "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."
  • More Check Point Infinity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
  • "Our license is for one year."
