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

"We are fully satisfied with the abilities it provides and the general approach of the Check Point solutions."
"Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively, as I have seen a reduction in security incidents and response times, with threats that used to slip through different point solutions now being blocked automatically thanks to the unified prevention layers."
"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"We have seen a faster response time and reduced effort from the network and security engineers while going through logs."
"It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security."
"The sandblast threat emulation is great."
"The Threat Prevention technology in Check Point Infinity has enhanced my security posture; that's very great, excellent, and helpful."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"If a system admin can put in the patience to read and constantly update the ePO system in terms of rules, enforcing them at regular intervals, you can safely go to sleep every night."
"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."
"I see ROI, as it stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"The features I find most valuable are: the management, the ability for automatic remediation of threats and it can successfully detect a threat, and to act upon it."
"It was easy to set up initially."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
 

Cons

"The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster."
"The cost of maintaining and purchasing the security components is high."
"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"They need to update the guides."
"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."
"One area where Check Point Infinity could be improved is its user interface. It brings together a lot of powerful features, but sometimes the console feels overwhelming and requires extra time to navigate."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"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"."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"Some of our customers have mentioned the lack of a tool that would allow for remote capabilities without being attached to 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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 flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"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 solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"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."
