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

"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by streamlining security prevention and strengthening our overall posture."
"Check Point Infinity has positively impacted the organization because it has allowed the consolidation of multiple security tools into one unified platform, which immediately reduced complexity and saved time for the team and IT department."
"Check Point Infinity has significantly improved our workflow within the ecosystem, making processes smoother and more efficient."
"We are fully satisfied with the abilities it provides and the general approach of the Check Point solutions."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"We have seen a faster response time and reduced effort from the network and security engineers while going through logs."
"Infinity is a technical console where we have to log in, and we can navigate to all the products very easily because it is written in a normal installation. People who know about the product can click and take care of their activity."
"It was easy to set up initially."
"This solution is very easy to use and requires little to no training."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
"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."
"It is very scalable."
 

Cons

"The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths."
"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."
"It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources."
"The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity."
"One point that led to the nine rating was an incident about two months ago where our inbound and outbound mail were going to quarantine and we could not do anything."
"They need to update the guides."
"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."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"The support on their side is not readily available. It takes a while."
"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."
"This product does the job, but it is not flexible enough to do new environments yet."
"Some of our customers have mentioned the lack of a tool that would allow for remote capabilities without being attached to the internet."
"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"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 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."
