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.

Easy to set up and use with a nice interface
The scalability could be better. We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats. In sandboxing, the time to respond is slower than we would like. We'd like them to be able to process faster. For example, Fortinet, they are doing 18,000 files per hour. For Wildfire, it is elastic. It can support as many files as you get. McAfee doesn't react like that. It does not support interfaces with HTTPS.

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's threat prevention capabilities benefitted our organization."
"One of the valuable aspects of Check Point Infinity is that I can use one unified portal for the administration of all these tools."
"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."
"We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool."
"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."
"The Check Point Infinity security architecture enables organizations to fully implement all of the Zero Trust Principles."
"The sandblast threat emulation is great."
"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"It is stable and reliable."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"It is very scalable."
"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"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 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."
"Some aspects of the reporting in Check Point may take time to learn and become comfortable with."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"They need to update the guides."
"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"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 pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
"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)."
"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."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
"Our licensing fees for this solution are approximately one million dollars per year."
