Improved network security with real-time threat detection and alert system

There is room for improvement in Check Point Infinity as I encounter some glitches in its interface. Sometimes, the data utilization report does not show up in Check Point Infinity GUI, necessitating me to reach out to their support team, who typically indicates firmware issues that require new installations. This process can be frustrating, and I feel it should be addressed to enhance user experience. The customer support needs enhancement as well. When I log a ticket, they often take a long time to resolve the issue, with some tickets remaining unresolved for over six months. This duration is unacceptable, and it definitely needs to change; however, aside from that, everything else is satisfactory with Check Point Infinity.

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."

"Powerful cyber security functionalities track workflows to block all threats that may arise and affect the workflow chain."

"It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security."

"For me, one of the best features of Check Point Infinity is to be able to have the possibility of emulating the activity of attached files with malicious content in such a short time."

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

"The most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."

"Check Point Infinity's threat prevention capabilities benefitted our organization."

More Check Point Infinity pros

"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."

"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."

"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."

"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."

"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."

"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."

"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 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."

More NetWitness Platform pros

Cons

"The cost of maintaining and purchasing the security components is high."

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

"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."

"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."

"The tool's technical support lags."

"Technical support is pretty delayed."

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

"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."

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

"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."

"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."

"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."

"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."

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

"Technical support could be improved."

More NetWitness Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."

"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 solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."

"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."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Our license is for one year."

"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."

"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."

"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."

"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 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."
