Check Point Infinity Reviews

My main use for Check Point Infinity is unified security management across multiple environments. I use it most often to protect email, endpoints, and cloud applications under a single infrastructure architecture. It has reduced problems and improved visibility. Having everything integrated means threats are detected and blocked faster, while policies stay consistent across the organization.

Unified security management made a real difference during a phishing campaign that targeted both email and cloud collaboration tools at the same time. Because everything was integrated under one platform, the alerts came through in a single dashboard, and the policies applied consistently across endpoints, email, and cloud apps. This allowed my team to quickly identify the scope of the attack, block the malicious links, and prevent data exposure without having to jump between different systems.

I also use Check Point Infinity to simplify compliance reporting and strengthen cloud security. Having one platform that covers endpoints, gateways, and other applications, I can apply consistent policies and generate reports that auditors find clear.

yes.

One of the best features for me is unified threat prevention and centralized management.

Unified threat prevention and centralized management have helped my team day-to-day by reducing the time spent switching between different tools and dashboards. For example, when I had to investigate suspicious traffic across endpoints, gateways, or events in the VPN, everything was visible in one place. We could quickly trace the issue and apply consistent policies without delays.

Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by streamlining security prevention and strengthening our overall posture. With everything managed under one platform, I've noticed clear improvements in efficiency since my team no longer has to juggle multiple tools or dashboards. I've also seen cost savings by consolidating licensing and reducing the need for separate solutions. By consolidating multiple tools into one platform, my team saves several hours each week that used to be spent switching between dashboards and managing separate policies. The unified platform has also reduced troubleshooting time during incidents.

The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity. Support is currently only available in English. I suggest adding additional language support.

I have been using Check Point Infinity for around six years.

I rate Check Point Infinity a nine out of ten because I think about the language, as support is only in English. I believe different languages could be incorporated into the support. Check Point Infinity is an excellent tool because it centralizes multiple solutions in one portal. It is very important for all IT administrator teams. I recommend this tool.

My main use case for Check Point Infinity is unified threat prevention across our network, cloud, and endpoints through a central portal that helps us detect and block advanced cyber-attacks, streamline security management, and ensure compliance.

Check Point Infinity also helps us reduce complexity by allowing us to manage everything from one dashboard instead of juggling multiple security tools, which saves time and makes it easier to spot threats early.

The best features Check Point Infinity offers include advanced threat prevention, which I use with AI and driver-based threat intelligence to block zero-day attacks, phishing, ransomware, and other sophisticated threats before they cause damage.

The advanced threat prevention feature has significantly helped my organization. For example, Check Point Infinity flagged a suspicious file that had bypassed our email filters, and it turned out to be a zero-day malware. The threat prevention engine blocked it before it reached the user and gave us an alert instantly, saving us from a potential data breach.

Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by improving our overall security posture and reducing manual workload. Specifically, it has reduced my manual workload by saving several hours a week. Before using Infinity, we spent hours manually investigating alerts and updating threat signatures, but now automatic threat detection and response help reduce false positives, allowing us to spend less time on non-issues.

One area for improvement in Check Point Infinity is the user interface, as it can feel complex for new users. Streamlining navigation and making threat reports more intuitive would be beneficial.

Maintenance wasn't much needed. The fifteen people we had were sufficient. We had coverage across different time zones, so they were able to cover it.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

In my job, I design and propose different solutions from Check Point Infinity for some final customers in final champ profiles. With Check Point Infinity solutions, I can integrate different tools of Check Point like security appliances such as Quantum or Quantum Smart or the orchestrator under Smart Events like different tools of Harmony, Harmony Mail, Harmony Point, and Harmony Browse. I use the Infinity Portal to take control of the administration of these tools and orchestrate and integrate all the information to bring the logs to the final customer to deploy new strategies for cybersecurity or change or update the architecture of security policies.

One of the valuable aspects of Check Point Infinity is that I can use one unified portal for the administration of all these tools. I can integrate other tools from other brands too, to consolidate and unify cybersecurity strategies. Check Point uses robust AI software to detect and recognize all cyber-attacks, giving me the ability to prevent these attacks.

If Check Point continues reforms of AI and takes more information from different origins, not only from its database but also from other brands, it can complete this information and make it stronger.

I have had about three years of experience with Check Point Infinity.

Check Point Infinity is scalable because Check Point has a deployment ecosystem with technical support and the quality of the final information from these tools.

The technical support is excellent with quick response times and high-quality answers to provide the best solutions needed.

Positive

The initial setup is not complex; it is straightforward. It depends on the reality of the moment for the final customer and what they want for their roadmap. The deployment is usually in a short time as this technology enables quick deployment into the customer's architecture.

The required number of people depends on the size of the final customer, but maybe three to five people, including analysts, engineers, and someone senior, are sufficient for this.

The value is in the capacity to protect against problems or attacks with technology, developing and strengthening cybersecurity policies and administration.

The pricing is good as Check Point Infinity includes many tools and details that others might not have. The cost depends on the different architecture or needs of the final customer.

Some brands like Trend Micro, Sophos, and Fortinet offer good solutions too. However, I prefer Check Point as an expert brand in cybersecurity.

I rate Check Point Infinity a nine out of ten.

The use case involves managing various aspects, including endpoint security, SaaS interface, and firewall management within the Check Point Infinity architecture. The Infinity portal serves as a centralized hub for overseeing all components of the Check Point security suite. The architecture incorporates XDR and MDR, enabling automatic correlation of information. In scenarios where a security issue arises, the system can automatically analyze data from diverse platforms, such as endpoints, firewalls, and Office 365. T

It offers significant benefits as a cybersecurity leader, known for pioneering the logical firewall and excelling with its Infinity suite. The expertise of Check Point professionals ensures efficient handling of challenges.

I have a positive history with Check Point, having worked with their firewall models since the nineties. A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance. This is particularly significant as the transition from Check Point on-premises solutions to the cloud.

I've observed some challenges in terms of usability and performance, particularly since the shift to a service-oriented model like Infinity. It seems that the performance varies, likely influenced by the client's size and the provisioning of resources.

We have been using it for several years, and since it was released we have become partners.

The stability is influenced by the specific configuration and the capabilities of the machine itself. Currently, I can confidently rate the stability at eight out of ten.

The scalability and power seem to impact the interface quality; larger clients with more resources receive a better interface experience. In cases where clients initially buy licenses for a certain number of machines and later realize they need more, Check Point offers flexibility. Clients can purchase additional licenses even if it's mid-year, without the need to synchronize license renewal dates.

My experiences with Check Point's tech support have been positive. They responded promptly to issues, even conducting a video call for clarification. A licensing complication was swiftly addressed, showing their commitment to resolving bugs.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment time varies depending on the specific machine and its configuration, however, in general, the implementation and installation processes are relatively quick. The deployment process is contingent on the specific configuration and the underlying infrastructure. However, due to our familiarity with the products, deployment is straightforward and typically doesn't extend over days. Instead, it can be accomplished in a matter of hours or even minutes, particularly in smaller cases. The process begins with obtaining the necessary licenses through a purchase order. Once acquired, we seamlessly integrate them into the Check Point dashboard, either through a physical conversion or by utilizing the Infinity portal. Subsequently, if configuration is required, we create the tenant and apply the license to it. From this point onward, the deployment process is quite straightforward and efficient.

The price is justified by the security it provides. In a world where security breaches can lead to significant financial losses, the investment in robust cybersecurity solutions is seen as essential. Moreover, the ongoing improvements in the dashboard experience further enhance the overall value proposition of Check Point Infinity, making it a comprehensive and worthwhile security solution for businesses in Portugal.

In Portugal, pricing for security solutions, particularly Check Point, is not a fixed rate. It's determined by factors like the brand's prominence and whether the product is flagged. The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements. Unlike services like Office 365, Check Point licenses are not based on users but rather on machines. Clients are required to pay when submitting a purchase order. However, for those interested in trying the product, whether for a Proof of Concept or other purposes, we can facilitate trials. As partners, we have the ability to request trials from Check Point or conduct trials ourselves for one to three months. While trial versions can't be extended, we can release a new license with an additional thirty days, allowing clients to continue testing the product. After the trial period, we can convert the tenants and apply for a full license, enabling clients to choose the desired products for implementation.

Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

We required a first line of defense to protect, monitor, and ensure that no confidential information leaves the internal network. We also required a device that can segment our network so that different subnets like the DMZ, Production network, and testing environments. Threat prevention that required AI and ML capabilities was another reason to acquire the Check Point Quantum Spark NGFW. Finally, it offers an all-in-one solution that was a necessity where the same instance could manage and monitor VPNs, application control, web filtering, intrusion detection, and email security.

With Check Point Quantum Spark, we have a first line of defense in our environment, seated just after the router that connects to the ISP's endpoint, all traffic entering and leaving the network is monitored, and filtered depending on the different rules created. 

The functionality of AI helps further in the threat detection field. This NGFW is able to support a large number of VPN connections and at the same time monitor these connections for any anomaly. 

Finally, for any flagged threats, a sandbox functionality is also provided making it even more robust in detecting zero-day attacks.

The sandblast threat emulation is great. We are able to visualize the extent of specific threats without necessarily having them deployed in our environment. The Sandbox feature is able to virtualize an environment that can mirror what we have in the internal environment.

The quality of Service for different traffic types is excellent. We are able to prioritize business-critical traffic over other types of traffic like streaming.

Artificial intelligence threat profiling has helped a lot in detecting and protecting the internal network from zero-day, DNS, and DDoS attacks. 

We'd like to see support for fiber connections. With the growth of the network, we would expect that more and more traffic is going through this device and soon enough, the bottleneck will be the type of connection being used to transfer data to the router and further to the ISP. A throughput of 1GBPS will hinder performance on the network.

Configuring fault tolerance for specific features, for example, power sources would ensure that the chances of the system shutting down due to a power surge are highly limited. This can further increase the SLA to 99.99%

We've used the solution for three years and we just recently upgraded to the 1535 series.

The system is stable and able to perform with the advised load without fail. 

Quantum Spark is designed for small to medium businesses. With this in mind, the scalability is perfect and will support up to a firewall throughput of 1GBPS which is favorable for an SMB.

The Check Point customer service is prompt and with their knowledge base, the majority of the issues incurred are already cleared noted with a list of multiple solutions. 

Positive

Previously we used the Sophos XGS series. The Sophos XGS firewall no longer met the business' growing needs as it further led to a slowness in the performance of the network hence the search for a new system that would fix this.

The initial setup was straightforward. Check Point's GUI interfaces are user-friendly, and it also provides a lot of information on setting up their devices.

This was an in-house deployment. 

With the increased internal network performance and a decrease in the threats being exposed to the network; the return on investment for this is roughly in the range of 40% to 60%.

Quantum Spark has different subscription models where you can add more functionality as required. For a constrained budget, you can specifically pick out the functionalities you want, and pay for that.

We also considered:

• Cisco ASA 5500 series
• Cisco FirePower 1000s
