Helps with monitoring, reinforces security architecture, and allows for real-time threat prevention
What is our primary use case?
At the end of 2020, the company was growing its staff. In addition, the pandemic was beginning, and as a result of these two factors, the company needed to protect the organization. It was there that the Check Point Infinity tool was used.
It is characterized as a great tool against the latest generation of cyber attacks all these attacks are found on mobile devices, endpoints, etc. Always in the security part, companies must be aware of technologies since it is an essential part of organizations, and Check Point Infinity is an excellent tool for these functions.
How has it helped my organization?
The Check Point Infinity tool came in to reinforce security in the organization since a basic security had been implemented that put our data at risk. Using these new technologies, it has also focused on zero-trust and is able to generate complexity and security gaps in the platform of the organization so we can avoid future attacks and errors and be able to provide a quick solution.
Infinity contains all the modern Check Point components like DLP, IPS, VPN, etc. We currently use R80.10 and it helped us a lot with security and implementations.
What is most valuable?
It has come to reinforce the security architecture of the organization since it covers all the necessary pieces of security, those characteristics that it has that different cover devices regardless of the brand, also to help us maintain full control of our employees' devices and thus be able to monitor and ensure more and more security breaches. Infinity helped us a lot in real-time threat prevention, and with continuous updates, it is one of the most important points of all Check Point solutions.
What needs improvement?
One of the main improvements that can be made is the latency in the portal. It is one of the most common errors of the Check Point tools, another of the improvements is that the unlimited licenses are based on the number of users. This confuses larger organizations, where not all users need all services.
Finally, they must improve the technical support they provide to users since we have opened several cases and they take time to attend to them or contact us, and in certain cases, they do not provide a quick solution. They take a long time to solve the error problem in question, which is worrying since, due to this inefficiency, they could attack the organization since there may be a gap in the infrastructure of the organization.
For how long have I used the solution?
The tool was implemented four years ago..
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In recent years, the stabilized one has done very well. The only thing is the latency to the portal, however, in general, it has behaved very well.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding the scalability of the tool, it is very scalable depending on your implementation.
How are customer service and support?
The experience with support has not been very good since we have had problems with support. It took a long time to answer or solve a problem.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not have any professional security tools.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation was very simple and fast. All you have to do is meet the primary requirements.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was done in conjunction with the supplier and an internal engineer. The experience was very good; he knew how to do his job.
What was our ROI?
The director of the company will be continuity since if it were not safe there would have been losses.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Check Point maintains competitive prices in the market. It must be taken into account that for the security of an organization is very important to invest in.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Check Point Infinity was one of the first options we had in mind due to its great reach in the security market.
What other advice do I have?
The only thing would be to improve the latency in the graphical interface and technical support.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great security solution
What do you like best about the product?
The building blocks of the Check Point Infinity solution work just great with each other, and the architecture may be easily extended. I also personally like that now there is only one application used to manage all the components - the new Smart Console ( if you worked with R77 version of the software, you will love the unified approach of R80).
What do you dislike about the product?
So far we are fully satisfied with the Check Point Infinity solution and can't provides any disadvantages of the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The "Infinity" is not some standalone security solution, but the way you plan and implement the whole security infrastructure of you company. It contains all the modern components from Check Point. In our company we use the hardware appliances - Next Generation Firewalls with a bunch of blades activated (DLP, IPS, VPN etc.) to protect the DataCenters, which are controlled by the Check Point Security management (with the current version being R80.30). These are the basic building blocks of the Check Point Infinity, and they work jsut great together, and allow for the future extension - we think about adding the Anti-DDOS protection on the edge of our environments. We are fully satisfied with the abilities it provides and the general approach of the Check Point solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The solution is great, but if you still hesitate, you may request the demo from the Check Point, or just use the Demo mode of the Smart Console to connect to the cloud management and try it for free. I gives good understanding about the solution capabilities.
Unified security architecture for your company
What do you like best about the product?
The Check Point Infinity architecture is the unified approach for building the unified security infrastructure of our company. I like that it covers all the pieces of the modern enterprise organization security needs - offices and data centers, public cloud environments, interconnects between them, as well as the end user devices - laptops, smartphones, tablets etc. We have the full control over what our employees could do with the devices we provide them, to provide the secure and reliable network infrastructure. I also like that all the components are tightly integrated and there is single endpoint to control all the elements - the Smart Console.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even so we had several support cases opened for the components of the Check Point Infinity architecture, as administrator, I'm satisfied with the solution and the abilities it provides, so can't describe any disadvantages at the moment, except for the overall price of the purchasing and maintaining the whole lot of the components.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Check Point Infinity is the key component and the core of the security infrastructure of our company. The elements of it are spread among the offices and physical data centers (Next Generation Firewall with IPS, URL Filtering and Application Control), public cloud environments (CloudGuard security gateways), office computers and laptops (Endpoint Security clients) and even BYOD mobile device (Check Point Capsule). It think it covers all the security aspects we need, and all the components work together like a charm. The components were deployed step-by-step, starting from the network level up to the endpoint devices. Now we have just one place to manage the security of the company - the Check Point Smart Console. In addition, we activated the SmartEvent correlation, and it serves as a in-house Security Operation Center for our support team, with alerting the on-call security engineers in case of serious incidents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Check Point Infinity security architecture is the robust and modern security solution for the organization of any size, but make sure you have a dedicated budged to maintain it - it is really not cheap. Also, it is better to have some dedicated certified Check Point specialist in your engineering team, since the solution is complex.
This is the perfect things to protect our envoirment using CheckPoint Infinity
What do you like best about the product?
Its very easy to deploy and manage for security prospective. We can integrate all the CheckPoint tool / product. It has very good for administration also.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing we can say which dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this features we have evaluated this feature and now we are going to procured in this cycle. But yes with this we have short out out most of the infection. and we will reach out goal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to block some infection or malicious or zero days attack , you have to procured it.
