Improves daily threat prevention with real-time detection and requires better alert tuning for faster prioritization
Check Point Infinity is powerful, but there are a few areas that could improve. The learning curve for new users can be steep, especially when managing multiple modules like CloudGuard, Quantum, and Harmony together. Some alerts can be overwhelming, making it harder to prioritize without fine-tuning. While automation helps, occasional manual adjustments are still needed. Overall, it is strong, but simplifying onboarding and alert management would make it even better. Integration with third-party tools could be smoother. The reporting dashboard could be more customizable for quick insights. Performance on very large networks can sometimes slow during updates. Overall, while the platform is strong, improving user experience, alert management, and integration would make it even more efficient for daily operations.

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

"The detection and reaction rates are good."
"To have a cloud such as Check Point Infinity is to have an ally that puts at our disposal many solutions from a single portal."
"I recommend Check Point Infinity to other customers due to its notable benefits and positive experiences with a major financial institution."
"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 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."
"The solution is very stable. I would estimate it's 99.9% stable, if not more."
"It is one of the best brands and products in terms of centralization."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"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."
"This solution is very easy to use and requires little to no training."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"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."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
 

Cons

"One area where Check Point Infinity could improve is in the reporting and analytics customization."
"The updates could be less frequent."
"The licensing model for Check Point Infinity is not clear."
"Something that should be better in Check Point Infinity is the customization, though I don't have any specific suggestions at this time."
"The addition of languages for the support could improve Check Point Infinity."
"The improvements needed for Check Point Infinity include that the documentation is not intuitive, and we needed more pictures or steps to make it more intuitive for all people when deploying it for the first time."
"The tool's technical support lags."
"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"The only problem we can have is that as we have no API interface, there is no inspection of internal mail."
"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"."
"The support on their side is not readily available. It takes a while."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN."
"The product has good pricing considering the features and a global approach."
"The flexibility in pricing is advantageous, and being a special partner allows for negotiating special rates based on the project requirements."
"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."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"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 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."
