Featured Reviews

Ashish Upadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
Provide unified threat prevention and response across our entire decentralized finance system
While Check Point Infinity offers a robust security operations platform, it could benefit from improvements in several areas. Firstly, the platform's pricing structure can be complex, which might be prohibitive for smaller businesses, limiting its accessibility. Simplifying the pricing model or offering more flexible pricing options could make Check Point Infinity more appealing to a wider range of organizations. Secondly, alert fatigue is a common issue with platforms that have strong detection capabilities. Implementing more filtering and prioritization mechanisms can help address this issue, ensuring that security teams can focus on the most critical threats. These are the areas where I believe there's room for improvement. In future releases, I would like to add more integration features. The ability to integrate seamlessly with more third-party applications would make it more customizable for our needs and simplify the integration process. This would improve our overall threat detection capabilities.

Beginner -friendly tool and simplifies the process of adding new domains
I didn't work on the installation and deployment, but I know the procedure. It's easy, not complicated. We just need to have servers and storage capacity. In our organization, it was an on-premises Proofpoint Protection, so we had a server, capacity storage, and all. We also need to connect that server with our internal environment and Active Directory. It's all easy. There's documentation from Proofpoint on how to do it. And we also have support from their team to guide us.
