Improves daily threat prevention with real-time detection and requires better alert tuning for faster prioritization

Check Point Infinity is powerful, but there are a few areas that could improve. The learning curve for new users can be steep, especially when managing multiple modules like CloudGuard, Quantum, and Harmony together. Some alerts can be overwhelming, making it harder to prioritize without fine-tuning. While automation helps, occasional manual adjustments are still needed. Overall, it is strong, but simplifying onboarding and alert management would make it even better. Integration with third-party tools could be smoother. The reporting dashboard could be more customizable for quick insights. Performance on very large networks can sometimes slow during updates. Overall, while the platform is strong, improving user experience, alert management, and integration would make it even more efficient for daily operations.

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

"The sandblast threat emulation is great."

"Check Point Infinity has enabled us to manage cloud, network, and endpoint security from a single platform, which has reduced complexity and improved response times."

"Check Point Infinity has had a positive impact by providing a unified security framework that reduced complexity and improved visibility across all layers."

"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."

"Check Point Infinity offers a multi-layered security approach that enhances our IT security environment."

"Check Point Infinity's threat prevention capabilities benefitted our organization."

"Since adopting Check Point Infinity, I have seen a noticeable improvement in how we manage and respond to security threats across our infrastructure."

"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."

More Check Point Infinity pros

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."

"It is very scalable."

"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."

"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."

Cons

"Check Point Infinity price could improve."

"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the setup cost or license is very high. When I need to put different licensing into various security tools, it becomes very complicated for me."

"Another improvement that would make our experience smoother with Check Point Infinity is simplifying the initial setup and configuration process; while powerful, it can feel overwhelming for smaller teams without dedicated security engineers, so more guides, wizards, or automatic best practice templates would be helpful."

"The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts."

"The solution is expensive."

"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."

More Check Point Infinity cons

"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."

"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."

"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"."

"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."

"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."

"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."

"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 product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."

"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."

"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."

"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."
