Check Point Infinity Reviews

My company's clients use Check Point Infinity to protect their data.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise.

Endpoints are an area of concern when it comes to Check Point Infinity. There are some issues around the marketing of the endpoint solution, because of which it is not as prominent as other players in the market. The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts. If the marketing for the endpoint solutions offered by Check Point is done properly, then Check Point can get a more thorough positioning in the marketplace.

I have been using Check Point Infinity for two years. My company is a reseller of products from Check Point and Palo Alto. I have experience with the solution's latest version.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My company's clients who use Check Point Infinity are mostly enterprise-sized companies.

I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

The deployment process of the tool can be completed in a few hours.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises.

I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

A payment of 15,000 USD needs to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing costs attached to the solution.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

We were looking for a solution that would allow us to establish a configuration with the different security devices remotely while centralizing management and including other products available at the security level. 

We looked into different options and brands that allowed us to establish, achieve and fulfill this need. This was one of the solutions that met all of these aforementioned characteristics, thus giving us 360º protection and accommodation in terms of managing security services. 

This solution gave us the freedom to be an institution with its own security team, which has allowed us to establish ourselves. It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization. It allows us to establish all security products or security software under a single pane with a single view of a centralized dashboard. We are managing everything from there and have been able to handle threat prevention. It has allowed us, in a complete way, to handle expanded organizational scope. 

The portal gives us many advantages. 

It has great internal analytics, which contains artificial intelligence. It has the ability to be managed centrally and acquire and consume computing power from the cloud. This means that we will make a payment for the use of the services and a payment for the licensing. Additionally, computing power doesn't all come in a single license. We can take a single product and enable and facilitate it as necessary, making all of these capabilities and features available as needed. 

We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution. It is included in the Infinity service, and it needs to be able to be restarted only from the background, with the brand's specialists - not done in an autonomous way. Developing this aspect and making it available to everyone consuming the services through the platform would help us manage many of the incidents due to cosmetic errors that can happen on the platform. 

I've used the solution for one year.

At the end of 2020, the company was growing its staff. In addition, the pandemic was beginning, and as a result of these two factors, the company needed to protect the organization. It was there that the Check Point Infinity tool was used. 

It is characterized as a great tool against the latest generation of cyber attacks all these attacks are found on mobile devices, endpoints, etc. Always in the security part, companies must be aware of technologies since it is an essential part of organizations, and Check Point Infinity is an excellent tool for these functions.

The Check Point Infinity tool came in to reinforce security in the organization since a basic security had been implemented that put our data at risk. Using these new technologies, it has also focused on zero-trust and is able to generate complexity and security gaps in the platform of the organization so we can avoid future attacks and errors and be able to provide a quick solution. 

Infinity contains all the modern Check Point components like DLP, IPS, VPN, etc. We currently use R80.10 and it helped us a lot with security and implementations.

It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security, those characteristics that it has that different cover devices regardless of the brand, also to help us maintain full control of our employees' devices and thus be able to monitor and ensure more and more security breaches. Infinity helped us a lot in real-time threat prevention, and with continuous updates, it is one of the most important points of all Check Point solutions.

One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal. It is one of the most common errors of the Check Point tools, another of the improvements is that the unlimited licenses are based on the number of users. This confuses larger organizations, where not all users need all services. 

Finally, they must improve the technical support they provide to users since we have opened several cases and they take time to attend to them or contact us, and in certain cases, they do not provide a quick solution. They take a long time to solve the error problem in question, which is worrying since, due to this inefficiency, they could attack the organization since there may be a gap in the infrastructure of the organization.

The tool was implemented four years ago.

In recent years, the stabilized one has done very well. The only thing is the latency to the portal, however, in general, it has behaved very well.

Regarding the scalability of the tool, it is very scalable depending on your implementation.

The experience with support has not been very good since we have had problems with support. It took a long time to answer or solve a problem.

Positive

We did not have any professional security tools.

The implementation was very simple and fast. All you have to do is meet the primary requirements.

The implementation was done in conjunction with the supplier and an internal engineer. The experience was very good; he knew how to do his job.

The director of the company will be continuity since if it were not safe there would have been losses.

Check Point maintains competitive prices in the market. It must be taken into account that for the security of an organization is very important to invest in.

Check Point Infinity was one of the first options we had in mind due to its great reach in the security market.

The only thing would be to improve the latency in the graphical interface and technical support.

As part of a large organization, this product gained the visibility of our security team thanks to its reputation of having the most advanced technology against the latest cyber threats. 

It protects everything, from cloud and company networks to endpoints and mobile devices, by adopting Check Point Infinity security architecture as a strategy to neutralize fifth-generation threats that spread fast and at a large scale through different vectors. 

We also saved money in our security implementation measures with this solution.

Check Point Infinity's security framework requires all users to be authorized and authenticated regardless they're from within or outside the organization. In order to maintain or gain more access to applications and data, the users have to be continuously validated by posture and security checkpoints as if there was no traditional network edge. Whether the network's in the cloud, local, both, or hybrid, and regardless of the location of the worker, the solution is comprehensive to the digital transformation taking place. It opens lots of backdoors and exposes gaps consequence of non-stop data sharing.

You can tell this product's standards have gone through heavy validation and testing; it's always verifying access from all resources at all times. If a breach happens, it minimizes its impact, which is a determining factor of its efficiency (worst-case scenario behavior), and incorporates the data to strategize on the best possible responses with the most accurate neutralizing actions. It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol.

The management console has given us some trouble, and the documentation is a little bit rigid in its solution paths. We could use more audiovisual material with more examples of setups and configurations to minimize the need to discover the information we need in the extensive documents we have available. 

The support team is great. However, we don't want to be constantly on the phone with a technician for Q&A or even to open tickets to design our protocols the way the company requests them.

The Infinity Portal is primarily a management tool. It's a single pane of glass to access and control all our Check Point products from one central location.

I work extensively with the Infinity Portal. It's the central management interface for all our Check Point products.

It has brought value. For example, a customer already has Check Point solutions in place. Rather than opening a separate console for each product, they can use the Infinity Portal. Just open Infinity, and with a single click, they're redirected to the product they need – email security, Harmony Connect, Harmony Internet Access, for example. It eliminates the need to open multiple interfaces.

It's how we manage products like Harmony Mobile, which enhances our mobile security.

Infinity is a platform. The zero-day protection capabilities would come from the specific products we use within it. 

My primary work involves Check Point firewalls and the Harmony product portfolio. We've definitely seen a lot of focus and new business growth in areas like Harmony and Arbor.

It's very easy to access and works fine for me. Centralizing the management of all our Check Point products in one place saves our team a ton of time.

Infinity is a platform rather than a specific security feature. It provides a central access point for our purchased Check Point products like Harmony Email, Harmony Connect, Harmony Browser, Harmony VPN, etc.

The unified management console enhances security operations. We manage all our products through a single console instead of needing to open separate interfaces for each one.

The updates could be less frequent. 

I have been using it for six years now. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Stability is always important. I haven't faced any issues with the Infinity Portal in the last six or seven years.

There is no need for scalability as it is a ready-made and web-based product that we got from Check Point. Most of our customers use it, for example, firewalls, Harmony product portfolio, and cloud/network security. Most of these customers find the Infinity Portal beneficial because of its convenience.

There are easily over a hundred customers. Customers already using Check Point products are, by default, using the Infinity Portal to access them. Even I use it.

The customer service and support are very good. It is very fast and customer friendly. It has been very friendly. 

It's incredibly easy. Once you have a Check Point account, the portal is ready to use. All you need is the URL.

As a cloud-based platform, so, there wasn't easy to difficult. It is a one-minute job. There are no specific requirements for the platform. 

One of the benefits is that there's no deployment required for the Infinity Portal itself. It's accessible via a simple URL.

There's no additional license requirement.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It's reliable, stable, and very easy for anyone to access from anywhere.

It is a good tool. If we plan to change the password, we don't have to change the MX Points or SPF settings, as it works with Microsoft 365. It helps us prevent losing emails.

Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8.

We have been using Check Point Infinity for two months. We did a POC for it.

It is a stable product. 

It is a scalable product.

The technical support services are good. We reach them regarding technical errors. They reply with the solutions in a few hours.

Positive

The initial setup process is complex.

The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten.

I rate Check Point Infinity a nine out of ten.

Today we have the need to protect various infrastructures we have. We have infrastructure on-premise and in the cloud, and we have a variety of branches. All of the infrastructures has demanded greater security from us. We needed a new and evolved way of managing equipment and the security of our infrastructure. As a result of all these concerns, we have been adopting innovative security technologies, and this is where we have added additional value to the protection that we want to give to each of the places where we have hosted data and information. We have been adopting the themes of Infinity Cloud to have total protection.

Infinity has come to give us total protection. It has come to cover branches, devices, infrastructure, different clouds, and various types of sites where we host data, and we need to share it between the different regions we have a presence in. It has given us the protection that we did not have before.

The segmentation and management came in decentralized, which means that this has given us protection while providing the ability to centralize a single portal for our security teams so that each one of them can administer and manage everything. Infinity is of great value as it can centralize all those dashboards. Before we had them separate.

Everyone who uses Check Point products has been realizing that it has been innovating in immense ways. Before we had the perimeter network administration teams in one place, with the management of mobile devices or web browsing handled separately. Today, we have them in a centralized place and are managing (in different tabs) the security of each of its devices, branches, clouds, etc. It is a more efficient way to take advantage of all the computing power and intelligence behind it. And it has additional AI.

In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud. Infinity Cloud is one of the most powerful clouds in security where a number of sites or technological capabilities have been established to protect our networks, our equipment, and our infrastructure, however, in the future what we could have is a comprehensive and novel way for new or additional features to protect services such as blockchain or web services3.

I've used the solution for one year.

As we adapt to the changes left by the pandemic, we must adapt our technologies, our equipment, and the traditional scheme in which we worked must evolve.

As a result of these changes, we have been adopting security and much of the administration with fully cloud services to be able to adapt to these changes and give greater adaptability to our technologies.

With Check Point Infinity, we have the possibility of managing our platform from the cloud. It also offers us centralization and other solutions of the same portfolio in one place, taking advantage of great advantages; it is at this point where Check Point allows us to take advantage of a secure and centralized administration.

Check Point Infinity is one of the solutions that has given us more value, being able to adopt their cloud where they centralize many solutions. Taking advantage of all that computing power, we assure users inside or outside the organization are safe. After all, due to the changes produced by the pandemic, we have had to evolve with security and administration.

To have a cloud such as Check Point Infinity is to have an ally that puts at our disposal many solutions from a single portal. It offers great response at the level of security. 

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. This capacity is of great value. Many times we want to know what an attack does and how an attack is exploited on our computers. With what we have learned from emulation we can reinforce our security lines or bases. You can learn a lot while always staying protected.

They need to update the guides. The product has improved a lot. However, its support guides are still the same as they were seven years ago. I say this from experience. For example, for configuration, it is necessary in some cases to consult these same guides and you see yourself looking at references the old information is still there. 

The support for Latin America is one of those that is also a bit neglected. We are without direct technicians speaking in Spanish. In some cases and their support is fast, however, this cultural shock makes interaction difficult, and when it comes to the escalation of the problems, mainly when the cases are urgent or escalated, the most experienced technicians only speak English.

I've used the solution for around two years.

The solution is scalable and is very complete. It centralizes everything.

It is a really complete solution. It manages to cover everything in the Infinity Check Point Portal.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

What Check Point currently does at the security level is very good. However, some prices in reference to licenses are a bit high. An example is how they sell SSL.

We did not evaluate other options.
