MOTASHIM Al Razi - PeerSpot reviewer
It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."
"One of the valuable aspects of Check Point Infinity is that I can use one unified portal for the administration of all these tools."
"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."
"Check Point Infinity has significantly improved our workflow within the ecosystem, making processes smoother and more efficient."
"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."
"We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool."
"The Threat Prevention technology in Check Point Infinity has enhanced my security posture; that's very great, excellent, and helpful."
More Check Point Infinity pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"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."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
More NetWitness Platform pros
 

Cons

"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"Technical support is something that needs improvement."
"Technical support is pretty delayed."
"The tool's technical support lags."
"In terms of pricing, I find Check Point Infinity to be an expensive product. In fact, we are evaluating even the spam filter for emails from Check Point, but it was prohibitively costly, so we dropped it and are using Microsoft Defender."
"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."
More Check Point Infinity cons
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
More NetWitness Platform cons
 

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)."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"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."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"The product is expensive."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
