TI at a security firm with 51-200 employees
Helps prevent advanced threats and reduce incident response times through unified security policies
The best feature Check Point Infinity offers for me is threat prevention, which is effective at blocking malware, ransomware, and phishing, as well as preventing zero-day attacks before they reach users or systems. For our team, the threat prevention in Check Point Infinity works by layering multiple defenses that stop attacks before they reach users or systems, and the most effective feature for us is the specific SandBlast Zero-Day Prevention, which uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to detonate suspicious files in a safe environment. Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively, as I have seen a reduction in security incidents and response times, with threats that used to slip through different point solutions now being blocked automatically thanks to the unified prevention layers.

Ensuring long-term reliability while seeking internal email management enhancements
Prisma is a commercial name of the firewall now, but we don't work with the cloud product. Only our company is using it and we do not recommend it to customers. For us, it's transparent because it's a cloud product, so we don't really know the version as it's always updated. We have not had any problem, but it's difficult to report on what's going on because some days they can wash out perhaps 100 mails, and then it's difficult to say how many attacks you have reached. The right email has been washed out and then nobody has complained. We do not use the Threat Visualization feature; as we are in MX, the mail is washed out before it is in the mail inbox of the user, thus avoiding any problem requiring a reservation. In fact, there is no integration with existing security frameworks. The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail. I rate Trellix Advanced Threat Defense a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"New Check Point technologies can be found via this portal."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from factors like ease of use, visibility, and cost to the enterprise."
"Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization by streamlining security prevention and strengthening our overall posture."
"Clients can manage everything - the data center firewall, the perimeter firewall, and the cloud, etc., from one single consolidated management that makes everything more visible and transparent from one place."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Infinity is the ease of use and navigation."
"Check Point Infinity offers a multi-layered security approach that enhances our IT security environment."
"It protects everything, from cloud and company networks to endpoints and mobile devices, by adopting Check Point Infinity security architecture as a strategy to neutralize fifth-generation threats that spread fast and at a large scale through different vectors."
"Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively, as I have seen a reduction in security incidents and response times, with threats that used to slip through different point solutions now being blocked automatically thanks to the unified prevention layers."
"If a system admin can put in the patience to read and constantly update the ePO system in terms of rules, enforcing them at regular intervals, you can safely go to sleep every night."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"It was easy to set up initially."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"The features I find most valuable are: the management, the ability for automatic remediation of threats and it can successfully detect a threat, and to act upon it."
"The fact that in 10 years, we have had no problem is the most valuable feature for us; it's really a washing machine, but the only problem we face is that it's difficult to report on this product."
"I see ROI, as it stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"It is stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the setup cost or license is very high. When I need to put different licensing into various security tools, it becomes very complicated for me."
"Some aspects of the reporting in Check Point may take time to learn and become comfortable with."
"Check Point Infinity is not compatible with Windows 8."
"The cost of maintaining and purchasing the security components is high."
"The updates could be less frequent."
"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"One area for improvement in Check Point Infinity is the user interface, as it can feel complex for new users."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"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."
"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"Make the ATD appliance a part of the whole product offering and take the whole thing onto the cloud."
"The support on their side is not readily available. It takes a while."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"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 flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"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 pricing of Check Point Infinity could be better. There is a license needed to use the solution and we pay annually."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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 product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
"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."
