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.

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

"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."
"The sandblast threat emulation is great."
"We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool."
"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."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"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
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
More NetWitness Platform pros
 

Cons

"The cost of maintaining and purchasing the security components is high."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"They need to update the guides."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"Technical support is pretty delayed."
More Check Point Infinity cons
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
More NetWitness Platform cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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)."
"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 pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"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."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"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."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
