Helps prevent advanced threats and reduce incident response times through unified security policies
The best feature Check Point Infinity offers for me is threat prevention, which is effective at blocking malware, ransomware, and phishing, as well as preventing zero-day attacks before they reach users or systems. For our team, the threat prevention in Check Point Infinity works by layering multiple defenses that stop attacks before they reach users or systems, and the most effective feature for us is the specific SandBlast Zero-Day Prevention, which uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to detonate suspicious files in a safe environment. 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.

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 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."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively because it is easier to control and change VPNs and other features."
"To have a cloud such as Check Point Infinity is to have an ally that puts at our disposal many solutions from a single portal."
"Since adopting Check Point Infinity, I have seen a noticeable improvement in how we manage and respond to security threats across our infrastructure."
"New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Stability is always important. I haven't faced any issues with the Infinity Portal in the last six or seven years."
"Powerful cyber security functionalities track workflows to block all threats that may arise and affect the workflow chain."
"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."
"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."
"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."
"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
 

Cons

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the setup cost or license is very high. When I need to put different licensing into various security tools, it becomes very complicated for me."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"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."
"The customer support is average because I need to create different things in the portal to create a ticket."
"I think Check Point Infinity could be improved in terms of documentation. I need more images and pictures, and the steps should be more intuitive."
"The updates could be less frequent."
"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
 

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