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

"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"The advanced threat prevention feature has significantly helped my organization; for example, Check Point Infinity flagged a suspicious file that had bypassed our email filters, and it turned out to be a zero-day malware—the threat prevention engine blocked it before it reached the user and gave us an alert instantly, saving us from a potential data breach."
"The detection and reaction rates are good."
"One of the valuable aspects of Check Point Infinity is that I can use one unified portal for the administration of all these tools."
"The sandblast threat emulation is great."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"Since deploying Check Point Infinity, we have seen a big drop in security incidents thanks to its strong AI-driven threat prevention."
"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 features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"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."
More NetWitness Platform pros
 

Cons

"One point that led to the nine rating was an incident about two months ago where our inbound and outbound mail were going to quarantine and we could not do anything."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"Technical support is pretty delayed."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"Technical support is something that needs improvement."
"The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."
More Check Point Infinity cons
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"Security needs improvement."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
More NetWitness Platform cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"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)."
"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."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"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."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"Our license is for one year."
"It is cheap."
"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."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
