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.

Easy to set up and use with a nice interface
The scalability could be better. We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats. In sandboxing, the time to respond is slower than we would like. We'd like them to be able to process faster. For example, Fortinet, they are doing 18,000 files per hour. For Wildfire, it is elastic. It can support as many files as you get. McAfee doesn't react like that. It does not support interfaces with HTTPS.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our company used Check Point Infinity to connect various locations worldwide through VPN, specifically using IPsec, rather than for cybersecurity. We implemented it in on-premises networks to collect data in data centers from different locations."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"The tool's most valuable feature for threat prevention is the encryption alarm. I find the centralized management console, including the log analyzer and reports in Check Point Infinity, extremely beneficial for enhancing security and operations efficiency in our enterprise. I would rate it a perfect ten out of ten, as it effectively helps us analyze logs, and detect potential attacks."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."
"Check Point Infinity has significantly improved our workflow within the ecosystem, making processes smoother and more efficient."
"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."
"It is very scalable."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"It is stable and reliable."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"I would recommend having more comprehensive documentation, including a guide for installation and configuration of Check Point Infinity."
"The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts."
"The solution is expensive."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"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."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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)."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The price is moderately priced."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"While the initial payment might be perceived as relatively higher, the absence of hidden supplementing charges contributes to a straightforward and clear pricing model. The pricing is cheap and moderate."
"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."
"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
"Our licensing fees for this solution are approximately one million dollars per year."
