Room For Improvement

Check Point Infinity users criticize support delays, complex licensing, outdated documentation, portal latency, integration issues, and frequent updates.
Trellix Network Detection needs improved customization, integration, AI capabilities, support services, and a more user-friendly interface at reduced pricing.

I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity.
When I log a ticket, they often take a long time to resolve the issue, with some tickets remaining unresolved for over six months.
There should be improvements in AI intelligence, faster decision-making, and a more responsive technical support team.

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.
BiswabhanuPanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers in-depth investigation capabilities, integrates well and smoothly transitioned from a lower-capacity appliance to a higher one
The in-depth investigation capabilities are a major advantage. When the system flags something as malicious, it provides a packet capture of that activity within the environment. That helps my team quickly identify additional context that most other tools wouldn't offer – like source IP or base64 encoded data. We can also see DNS requests and other details that aren't readily available in solutions like Check Point or others that we've tried. The detection itself is solid, and their sandboxing is powerful. There's a learning curve – you need a strong grasp of OS-level changes, process forking, registry changes, and the potential impact of those. But with that knowledge, the level of information Trellix provides is far greater than what we've seen elsewhere. The real-time response capability of Trellix has been quite effective, although it's not very fast. The key is this solution's concept of 'preference zero.' They don't immediately act on a zero-day. For example, the solution has seen a piece of malware for the first time. It'll let it in, then do sandboxing. Maybe after four or five minutes, it identifies that specific file's DNX Secure Store as malicious. At that point, they update the static analysis engine, and it gets detected if anything else tries to download the same file. There is that initial 'preference zero' concept, like with Panda. You may not hold traffic in the network. That's standard in the industry; we don't do much about it. To address that, we also have endpoint solutions. We use SentinelOne in our environment, which helps us identify threats like Western Bureaus and others.
