We performed a comparison between Check Point Infinity and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's excellent scalability features have allowed our organization to seamlessly adapt to the growing demand. The consensus mechanism and smart contract capabilities have optimized our workflow, resulting in an overall reduction in the complexity of our organization."
"Infinity has come to give us total protection."
"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."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"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."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems."
"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."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The technical support is good and quick to resolve issues."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"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."
"The cost of maintaining and purchasing the security components is high."
"They need to update the guides."
"There is an issue with high agent size, which impacts performance."
"The endpoint solutions offered by Check Point are not prominent enough in the market due to Check Point's poor marketing efforts."
"Technical support is something that needs improvement."
"The tool's technical support lags."
"Check Point Infinity price could improve."
"Configuration requires going to a lot of places rather than just accessing one tab."
"They can improve their security in a way where a customer can know if all their attachments are safe or not to open through a report. The solution does its job perfectly, but it never reports to the customer whether those attachments have been stopped before or not."
"About eight months ago, we started to measure the quantity of phishing and spam that we have been receiving, and it has been increasing a lot. That means that protection for our email is not as good as we were expecting."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
