Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Infinity is a technical console where we have to log in, and we can navigate to all the products very easily because it is written in a normal installation. People who know about the product can click and take care of their activity."
"We have full control over what our employees can do with the devices we provide them, to provide a secure and reliable network infrastructure."
"We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature for threat prevention is the encryption alarm. I find the centralized management console, including the log analyzer and reports in Check Point Infinity, extremely beneficial for enhancing security and operations efficiency in our enterprise. I would rate it a perfect ten out of ten, as it effectively helps us analyze logs, and detect potential attacks."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Stability is always important. I haven't faced any issues with the Infinity Portal in the last six or seven years."
"The initial implementation was accomplished easily and without deployment problems."
"A notable aspect that I appreciate is their ongoing effort to redesign the portal, giving it a fresh and centralized appearance."
"It provides fantastic visibility of security incidents through deconstructing and dissecting the threat's infection protocol."
"The most effective features of the solution for threat prevention are Layer 7 inspection, SSL decryption, IPS, and the web filtering profile."
"It offers a single pane of glass for all the different types of installations."
"It gives us the ease that we are secure. We have set up the proper things that help make our data safe."
"The tool's cloud version makes application migration easy."
"It scales linearly with load and no issues."
"It is very stable. It is fairly easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"We have reduced the number of configuration lines by 90%. We need fewer number of admins right now because of it."
"We'd like to see support for fiber connections."
"In the future, I would like to see new developments that allow us to centralize the cloud."
"The updates could be less frequent."
"The console at the beginning also has the section on where to save the logs, however, if by mistake we choose a very remote area, this detail cannot be corrected unless the change of data center where the logs are housed, which is requested through support, which can become a management difficulty."
"Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow."
"The solution's reports should be easy to understand and work with."
"We have had some performance issues. Because of this, we had to redirect traffic to be analyzed by other appliances."
"Alert fatigue is a common issue with platforms that have strong detection capabilities. Implementing more filtering and prioritization mechanisms can help address this issue, ensuring that security teams can focus on the most critical threats."
"We have ran into issues with Palo Alto’s limitations for resolving large IP lists from DNS lookups, as well as the antivirus interfering with App-ID."
"The solution needs to improve its visibility. It's not straightforward to use. Understanding the policies, authorizations, and initializing features requires careful review. The product needs to offer proper training."
"The one issue that I didn't like is that the SNMP integration with interfaces didn't record the interface counters."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"There could be dynamic DNS features similar to Fortinet in the product."
"The utilization monitoring and GUI have room for improvement."
"The solution needs to have more easily searchable details or documentation about it online, so it's easier to Google if you have queries."
"The command-line interface is something that some people struggle with and I think that they should have an option to go straight to the GUI."
