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

"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."
"New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."
"Powerful cyber security functionalities track workflows to block all threats that may arise and affect the workflow chain."
"The detection and reaction rates are good."
"We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"The Threat Prevention technology in Check Point Infinity has enhanced my security posture; that's very great, excellent, and helpful."
"It also has an easy configuration. The feedback that we get from our customers is that it's a good product."
"Provides good protection and security."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any breaches or crashes. It's been very stable for us."
"I like this setup for a firewall. You can set things up very easily and you can automate items as well. It's a very robust firewall solution for enterprise as well as small businesses."
"We use it for protection against viruses and ransomware attacks."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."
"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"Something that should be better in Check Point Infinity is the customization, though I don't have any specific suggestions at this time."
"Could provide online training to allow customers to learn more about the product."
"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."
"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."
"The setup needs improvement. It needs to be made more user-friendly."
"I would say the solution needs a much simpler user interface, but the functionality of the firewall is quite extensive. You need the user interface to be that way. However, if there was a way to make the user interface a little easier, that would be great."
"I would like to have better documentation before starting with deployment because the deployment is a bit complex."
"SonicWall should promote their roadmap and improve their marketing to customers."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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)."
"We get our value for our money."
"When you compare it with other solutions, they are cheaper and more economical."
"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."
