Empowering security with seamless AI-guided configurations
Check Point Infinity offers a multi-layered security approach that enhances our IT security environment. It provides tracking protection, intrusion prevention, and supports mobile users efficiently. The AI integration helps in guiding configurations and installations, making the process smoother. Additionally, Check Point is a supportive vendor, offering notable assistance and knowledge sharing during installations and configurations.

Ensuring long-term reliability while seeking internal email management enhancements
Prisma is a commercial name of the firewall now, but we don't work with the cloud product. Only our company is using it and we do not recommend it to customers. For us, it's transparent because it's a cloud product, so we don't really know the version as it's always updated. We have not had any problem, but it's difficult to report on what's going on because some days they can wash out perhaps 100 mails, and then it's difficult to say how many attacks you have reached. The right email has been washed out and then nobody has complained. We do not use the Threat Visualization feature; as we are in MX, the mail is washed out before it is in the mail inbox of the user, thus avoiding any problem requiring a reservation. In fact, there is no integration with existing security frameworks. The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail. I rate Trellix Advanced Threat Defense a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Infinity offers a multi-layered security approach that enhances our IT security environment."
"The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."
"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"Check Point Infinity's threat prevention capabilities benefitted our organization."
"It is very scalable."
"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"The fact that in 10 years, we have had no problem is the most valuable feature for us; it's really a washing machine, but the only problem we face is that it's difficult to report on this product."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
 

Cons

"They need to update the guides."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"Something that should be better in Check Point Infinity is the customization, though I don't have any specific suggestions at this time."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
 

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 solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
"Our licensing fees for this solution are approximately one million dollars per year."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
