All-in-One Checkpoint Management with Powerful Automation
Centralized threat detection has simplified workflows and improved team collaboration
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the best features that Check Point Infinity offers in my experience is the centralized management console. Being able to control policies, monitor threats, and manage firewalls, endpoints, and cloud security from a single pane of glass has been a game-changer. It simplifies operations and reduces the chance of misconfigurations. We also rely heavily on ThreatCloud Intelligence, which provides real-time threat data that helps us stay ahead of emerging attacks.
The centralized console has significantly improved our team's efficiency because previously we had to switch between different tools to manage firewalls, endpoints, and cloud policies. Now, everything is in one place. It has made collaboration between our network and security teams very easy, and all people see the same data in real-time. This is perfect for a SOC team operating from a centralized site.
Check Point Infinity has positively impacted my organization because since implementing it, we have seen a noticeable improvement in our overall security posture. Threat detection is faster and more accurate, and the number of false positives has dropped significantly. Our team spends less time chasing alerts and more time focused on other tasks. It is perfect for the organization and the department.
What needs improvement?
While Check Point Infinity is powerful, there are a few areas where it could be improved. The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially when reviewing different documentation and explaining to different coworkers what to do during the implementation.
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.

I want to add that it is very important for the company because Check Point Infinity combines different tools, and it is very easy to control.
My advice for others looking into using Check Point Infinity is that it has great scalability and is an important tool for your centralized security. I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.
Reliable Protection, Just Takes Some Effort to Set Up
Has improved threat detection and saved time through centralized security management
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is excellent.
What other advice do I have?
Check Point Infinity is powerful, but it works best when tailored to your environment. My advice to others considering Check Point Infinity is to make use of the centralized management early on and invest time in learning the threat prevention features. I would rate Check Point Infinity an eight out of ten.
Managing security tools from one platform has reduced manual effort and improved threat visibility
What is our primary use case?
Check Point Infinity Portal offers a centralized platform for different Check Point products, such as Quantum and CloudGuard. You can integrate all of the products and use them from a single platform.
Having everything integrated in one place makes it easier because you don't have to access everything from separate software. For example, you would normally require a different SmartConsole server to push policies to Check Point's next generation firewall. If you integrate Smart-1 Cloud, you can manage it from Check Point Infinity Portal, as well as mobile device management, Harmony Email and Collaborations, and Check Point Infinity Playblocks.
What is most valuable?
We have seen a faster response time and reduced effort from the network and security engineers while going through logs. They don't have to go through logs that block, and we also get insight into how many people from which country are targeting our servers. This kind of insight is available beforehand without digging into logs from our email address.
Since the automation is in place, there is less time needed and fewer engineers are required to check the logs, as well as report incidents and generate logs.
What needs improvement?
One point that led to the nine rating was an incident about two months ago where our inbound and outbound mail were going to quarantine and we could not do anything. We did not get any response from the Check Point team indicating that there was a problem with the HEC, when there actually was one. There needs to be an improvement for this.
