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.

Cons
"It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources.""We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution.""They need to update the guides.""The solution's reports should be easy to understand and work with.""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.""The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts.""One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal.""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."
