Featured Reviews

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.

Behavioral AI has protected critical applications and now blocks complex external attacks
I think Salt Security could improve their implementations. The one that I saw was very complex and took quite a bit of time, and if the environment is unique at all, it takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to properly ensure that it will be implemented. A lot of times there is a steep learning curve for someone that hasn't been in it to figure out the APIs and really dig deep into it, but once you get used to it, it is easy. However, that ramp-up period could be tough. I think Salt Security could use a more enterprise focus. Some of the smaller companies that I have referred them to think it is a little bit too complex for them, so if they could come up with a different version or something a little bit easier to simplify their platform, they may be able to find more customers that way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The sandblast threat emulation is great."
"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."
"It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security."
"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."
"Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively because it is easier to control and change VPNs and other features."
"The all-in-one management feature of Check Point Infinity saves time because I can manage everything and deploy everything from one place."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."
"Salt Security has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by being able to stop cyberattacks and ensure that they have proper security over all their applications, giving them a sense of peace of mind that they have security over something that could ultimately take down the whole company if not mitigated properly."
"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."
"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"Salt Security gave me much better visibility into API risk, helping me identify exposed endpoints, misconfigured APIs, and sensitive data flowing through APIs that required additional controls, and it has become an important part of my API security program."
 

Cons

"It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources."
"Some aspects of the reporting in Check Point may take time to learn and become comfortable with."
"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."
"The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"The updates could be less frequent."
"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."
"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"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 solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"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."
