Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.5
Check Point Infinity enhances network security and performance, offering significant ROI and cost savings while simplifying security management.
Sentiment score
6.8
Skybox Security Suite provides large organizations significant value and savings, with quicker returns noted in major Serbian companies.
The value is in the capacity to protect against problems or attacks with technology, developing and strengthening cybersecurity policies and administration.
I would say we can save about 90% of our budget with Check Point Infinity.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Check Point Infinity's support is praised for expertise and resources, but some report delays and suggest enhancing educational tools.
Sentiment score
5.6
Skybox Security Suite's support is inconsistent, with varying responsiveness and effectiveness, especially during upgrades or complex issues.
Check Point support is very responsive.
The technical support is excellent with quick response times.
I gave customer support this rating because when I raised tickets, some took weeks or even up to six months to resolve.
A significant issue was contacting support after hours on the weekends.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Check Point Infinity offers scalable and flexible cybersecurity solutions for organizations, supporting growth and adaptable deployment across applications.
Sentiment score
6.9
Skybox Security Suite excels in scalability and complex environments, though some face vertical, hardware, and cost limitations.
Check Point Infinity is scalable because Check Point has a deployment ecosystem with technical support and the quality of the final information from these tools.
One issue I faced with scalability was the transition from Skybox Security Suite's 6500 platform to the 7500 series due to licensing costs becoming prohibitive.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Check Point Infinity offers high stability, strong performance, and 50% improved speed, with minor latency issues and strong customer support.
Sentiment score
7.3
Skybox Security Suite is stable, with occasional issues on virtual machines; users appreciate updates and support despite minor concerns.
If they provide timely and effective support, it would enhance stability and minimize glitches considerably.
 

Room For Improvement

Check Point Infinity users criticize support delays, complex licensing, outdated documentation, portal latency, integration issues, and frequent updates.
Skybox Security Suite requires a web-based interface with improved features, enhanced support, better pricing, and increased automation and customization.
When I log a ticket, they often take a long time to resolve the issue, with some tickets remaining unresolved for over six months.
I would improve Check Point Infinity by embedding some sort of analytics that indicates which attacks are coming from specific IP addresses very often so that we can block those IP addresses.
I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity.
The lack of continued support and problematic licensing costs were also areas needing improvement.
It would be better if something more attractive or similar useful information found in AlgoSec was available.
 

Setup Cost

Check Point Infinity's pricing is moderate to high; users value its features but note high initial setup costs.
Skybox Security Suite's cost varies widely, prompting buyers to assess ownership costs and licensing complexities with reseller guidance.
In terms of pricing, I find Check Point Infinity to be an expensive product.
The pricing is good as Check Point Infinity includes many tools and details that others might not have.
The product, as supported by Check Point, offers invaluable assistance for ease of deployment.
From a commercial perspective, AlgoSec is more expensive compared to Skybox Security Suite.
The pricing became prohibitive when transitioning between the 6500 and 7500 series models.
 

Valuable Features

Check Point Infinity provides centralized security management with Zero Trust, real-time threat prevention, automation, and scalability for diverse business needs.
Skybox Security Suite excels in scalability, vendor integration, network impact analysis, vulnerability management, and offers comprehensive reports and compliance.
Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing incidents.
Check Point uses robust AI software to detect and recognize all cyber-attacks, giving me the ability to prevent these attacks.
If we cannot keep our data secret, all our customers will be lost.
The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches.
The most helpful feature is the firewall analyzer.

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.
NenadMijatovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient in vulnerability management, stable and easy to use
Vulnerability management is the most valuable feature because it lets you focus on the most critical vulnerabilities. That's the important thing. Here in Serbia, there are not so many companies that have too many firewalls inside one company. So, they usually don't buy this model for Firewall Assurance unless there is some compliance. So you can prove that your firewalls are compliant. So, that model is not so important here in Serbia. It's for bigger companies. So, they usually buy network assurance to build the model of the network and vulnerability management to focus on the most important vulnerabilities. Moreover, Skybox can collect data for many vendors. From the endpoint protection vendors to the network equipment vendors to other security vendors. So, it supports more than one hundred vendors to collect data from them.
