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.

Has a good configuration but the price should be more competitive
Our primary use case of this solution is for security.  It's a good solution but the price is high. It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product. Our customers are mostly smaller enterprises.  The price should be more competitive.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Powerful cyber security functionalities track workflows to block all threats that may arise and affect the workflow chain."
"Our company used Check Point Infinity to connect various locations worldwide through VPN, specifically using IPsec, rather than for cybersecurity. We implemented it in on-premises networks to collect data in data centers from different locations."
"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."
"We have full control over what our employees can do with the devices we provide them, to provide a secure and reliable network infrastructure."
"Infinity is a technical console where we have to log in, and we can navigate to all the products very easily because it is written in a normal installation. People who know about the product can click and take care of their activity."
"New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."
"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"The Threat Prevention technology in Check Point Infinity has enhanced my security posture; that's very great, excellent, and helpful."
"They have a large database of commonly known things that they can catch automatically, then they have anything which is questionable go to the sandbox and be examined there before going into our network."
"The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any breaches or crashes. It's been very stable for us."
"We get alert messages whenever there is a new threat. We are notified at the firewall level that things are blocked, which keeps us in our comfort zone."
"We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks."
"The ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) on scanning is the most valuable feature."
"It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product."
"The reporting that you get from it is the most valuable feature. You can see it via the appliance itself, and also via the MySonicWall account for the registered device. You are able to select the file if it's malicious, and you can select it in the reporting and see what triggered it, and things like that. I found that to be quite useful."
"Provides good protection and security."
 

Cons

"Technical support is pretty delayed."
"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."
"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"When I log a ticket, they often take a long time to resolve the issue, with some tickets remaining unresolved for over six months."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex."
"If anything at all, it would be some very minor updates that need to be done, but in terms of changes, nothing comes to mind."
"SonicWall had a recent layoff. This is a concern for us, because now we are missing the local presence from both the engineering and sales side."
"It does fare well against enterprise products."
"Having an on-premise solution as well would be an option for some people, but they'll want to use a cloud solution for their sandboxing. Certain sites would want to keep all the checks done on an on-premise appliance. All the checking, rather than sending that up into a cloud engine."
"Could provide online training to allow customers to learn more about the product."
"We would like to get immediate alerts from the alerting system without using third-parties."
"The setup needs improvement. It needs to be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
"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."
"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 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."
"We get our value for our money."
"The best deal from SonicWall is to buy the HA pair. When you buy the initial one, you receive the second one at a significant discount. If there is an event and something happens to one firewall, then you have the second firewall to roll into. For the price, it's pretty to tough to beat and not a lot of other firewall vendors offer it. You battle for a discount on both. Where with SonicWall, if you buy one, the second one is at half price. It's pretty straightforward."
"It's thirty dollars per user and we have 30 users."
"When you compare it with other solutions, they are cheaper and more economical."
