"The product, a cloud-based unified security solution, facilitates the automation of security threat detection and vulnerability management across various endpoints, including mobile and IoT devices. A notable feature is the centralized administration, allowing monitoring of existing solutions from web and mobile devices in a unified interface."
"We have full control over what our employees can do with the devices we provide them, to provide a secure and reliable network infrastructure."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"Our network security posture has improved significantly due to several factors. We've seen a 25% reduction in security incidents due to Infinity's advanced threat prevention capabilities. Additionally, the platform's automation features led to a 20% increase in operational efficiency, allowing our security teams to focus on more strategic tasks."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems."
"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."
"Technical support is very responsive. You just have to open a ticket. They respond in a timely manner. Their response is good. I'm satisfied."
"Currently we have 800-plus nodes connected with this solution, without any issues. The solution is scalable."
"Endpoint to network protects the line."
"It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards."
"The Application Control code and the easy integration are valuable features."
"What I like most about Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is its notification capability."
"They manage to solve detection quite nicely. There is some rather elaborate detection compared to other providers."
"All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us. We especially like the threat protection it provides."
"Alert fatigue is a common issue with platforms that have strong detection capabilities. Implementing more filtering and prioritization mechanisms can help address this issue, ensuring that security teams can focus on the most critical threats."
"The tool should focus on improving artificial intelligence and customer support services."
"While Check Point Infinity is a robust and innovative solution, some areas could benefit from improvement. One area is the user-friendly integration of privacy-focused features."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty."
"We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution."
"It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources."
"Scalability could be better."
"There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."
"The security features need to be improved."
"Not ideal for advanced threat protection."
"It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled."
"The product's support services need improvement."
"The support for new OSs and older OSs could be a little tighter. They need to be more upfront about what protection services they're going to provide on new OSs. I haven't seen the Windows 11 version out yet. It is either already released in Beta, or the Beta will be released soon. There could be a little bit more advanced updates on what they're doing to help protect Windows 11 environments. They can let us know in advance so that we know it is going to be protected. We can't roll out the new OS without putting end-point protection on it. So, they should tell us what is their support model for that, and what are they doing to protect Windows 11. They're not telling me, and that's a criticism. The same issue is applicable to all the other antivirus tools. It is not just Symantec; all of them have this problem."
"The administration interface needs a lot of improvement. It should be UI based, and simple. They need to improve it. It's pretty much not that friendly compared to what we were using as Bitdefender before. It's okay but is improving, actually."
