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.

Dynamic runtime engine and good protection, but needs better support and a single console

We have two to three issues per month. We contact Proofpoint's customer support for these issues. I am a major point of contact for support. If I am not able to resolve an issue, we will be reaching out to them. Proofpoint can take a couple of days to get back. I also deal with other applications from Okta and Microsoft, and we get the support within a couple of hours. There is a lot of difference between a couple of hours and a couple of days. So, Proofpoint's support should be improved. Okta and Microsoft are also able to do a Zoom or video call, but Proofpoint provides support only through email communication. Only if you request, it would be a Zoom or video session.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Infinity portal combines all Check Point solutions in one place, including the endpoint, SASE, and the SMP."

"Since adopting Check Point Infinity, I have seen a noticeable improvement in how we manage and respond to security threats across our infrastructure."

"New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."

"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."

"To have a cloud such as Check Point Infinity is to have an ally that puts at our disposal many solutions from a single portal."

"Since adopting Check Point Infinity, I have seen a noticeable improvement in how we manage and respond to security threats across our infrastructure."

"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."

More Check Point Infinity pros

"Proofpoint's major module is email protection, and most of the spam emails that have been directed towards our organization have been locked by Proofpoint, so we have escaped from threat hunters."

"It has a dynamic runtime engine, which gives it an advantage over Prisma that has a static engine. In Prisma, we have to do additional malware analysis, which is not required in Proofpoint."

Cons

"The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity."

"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."

"They need to update the guides."

"The tool's technical support lags."

"Check Point Infinity price could improve."

"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."

"It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources."

"The updates could be less frequent."

More Check Point Infinity cons

"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly. The TAP console looks very advanced. Currently, we are maintaining three different consoles, and it is sometimes hard to switch between them or try to grab the data."

"We are using the TRAP console that has a Linux-based UI, which is not user-friendly."

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."

"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."

"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 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)."

"The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
