Chetan Bhati

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

"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."

"Check Point Infinity has enabled us to manage cloud, network, and endpoint security from a single platform, which has reduced complexity and improved response times."

"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."

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

"Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by streamlining security prevention and strengthening our overall posture."

"Check Point Infinity has had a positive impact by providing a unified security framework that reduced complexity and improved visibility across all layers."

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

"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 packet inspection and the automated incident response."

"The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."

"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 most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."

"NetWitness Platform offers flexibility for deployment and robust integration capabilities."

"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."

"Performance and reporting are very good."

"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."

More NetWitness Platform pros

Cons

"Technical support is something that needs improvement."

"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."

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

"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."

"The tool's technical support lags."

"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."

"If Check Point continues reforms of AI and takes more information from different origins, not only from its database but also from other brands, it can complete this information and make it stronger."

"Another improvement that would make our experience smoother with Check Point Infinity is simplifying the initial setup and configuration process; while powerful, it can feel overwhelming for smaller teams without dedicated security engineers, so more guides, wizards, or automatic best practice templates would be helpful."

More Check Point Infinity cons

"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."

"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."

"Security needs improvement."

"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."

"Technical support could be improved."

"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."

"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."

"Its technical support could be better."

More NetWitness Platform cons

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)."

"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."

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

"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."

"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."

"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."

"The product is expensive."

"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."

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."

"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."

"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."

"Our license is for one year."
