We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems.""The product, a cloud-based unified security solution, facilitates the automation of security threat detection and vulnerability management across various endpoints, including mobile and IoT devices. A notable feature is the centralized administration, allowing monitoring of existing solutions from web and mobile devices in a unified interface.""It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol.""Our network security posture has improved significantly due to several factors. We've seen a 25% reduction in security incidents due to Infinity's advanced threat prevention capabilities. Additionally, the platform's automation features led to a 20% increase in operational efficiency, allowing our security teams to focus on more strategic tasks.""A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance.""Infinity has come to give us total protection.""It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security."

"The forensics reports and the ability to sandbox malware are its most valuable features.""The main feature of the solution is that it protects against malicious threats from the outside.""It saves time with us trying to do the analysis. We use it to try to find out how something got into the network. We use it to stop something before it ever gets in.""The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services.""The Check Point SandBlast Network gives us incredibly good features.""Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us.""You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox.""It has caught some harmful attachments and downloads."

Cons
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud.""We'd like to see support for fiber connections.""We need improvement around the Smart-1 cloud solution.""Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow.""The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear.""The tool's technical support lags.""Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8.""The portal is provisioned in AWS. They should improve the cloud to make it faster."

More Check Point Infinity Cons →

"I would like if it could emulate bigger files and somehow improve this usability. I don't know if this would be possible. However, if it was able to scan or emulate bigger files, then it would be safer for a company using it.""I think Check Point provides standard time which ideally most other vendors take to identify behaviors of a file by sending them into a sandbox environment for inspection.""The file types that can be scanned are limited, which means that if the file type is not listed or enabled for the sandbox, they are bypassed and it can lead to a security issue.""At the support level, they could improve the attention times and have the resolution of cases happen a little faster.""The Threat Emulation software blade significantly affects the performance of the NGFWs, we have a significant increase in the CPU and memory consumption.""In Check Point SandBlast, improvement has to be made with respect to the GUI.""There should be some customized price reductions in the offered packages.""There is a limit on the number of files that can be scanned in real-time, which could lead to us being found with our guard down on a high-traffic day."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
  • "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)."
  • "The pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
  • "The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "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."
