"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"It's detection of true positives are great, as it's cloud based it's very scalable and stable."
"Its main defense is to stop malicious emails from coming through. There is a sandbox environment where you can open malicious or suspicious emails to make sure that they're not malicious, instead of taking the risk of having your employees do it. This is definitely something that everybody needs nowadays, especially with the rise in cyber attacks."

"As a cloud-based product, it can scale well."
"The tool should focus on improving artificial intelligence and customer support services."
"The solution's reports should be easy to understand and work with."
"The updates could be less frequent."
"The tool's technical support lags."
"One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal."
"While Check Point Infinity is a robust and innovative solution, some areas could benefit from improvement. One area is the user-friendly integration of privacy-focused features."
"They need to update the guides."
"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."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"The solution's server console and cluster dashboard have been the same for four years so need to be upgraded."
"I want Security Awareness Training in there as a package deal. A lot of companies are starting to value email security a little bit more and take it a little bit more seriously, and the great product that we link together with a lot of these sales is a training product called Security Awareness Training. It is an upsell that we do with Proofpoint, and it is definitely something that I recommend everybody with email security to look into. It would be great if Security Awareness Training is included with the email security."
"Sometimes it detects false positives."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We find the cost to be prohibitive."
"It's scalable, but the devil's in the details — you have to know your email volumes."
"The flexibility of the solution can be improved."
