We needed to handle the administration of the tools that we have with Check Point without the use of administration servers and from the cloud. With this product, we can centrally manage our security environments for the company through a web portal.
It is really easy to do it this way as the portal is managed directly by Check Point. We can detach ourselves from the portal and focus on the security of the infrastructure itself. The portal is extremely intuitive for admins.
We like the Check Point Infinity Portal's functionality. It provides us, within the license, the use of a secure environment for the administration of various manufacturer tools and we can easily, intuitively, and safely work from the web browser without having to have our own server and additional licensing to manage. In addition, this console complies with all identity security tools that prevent us from being violated by losing control of the console.
From the portal, we manage our FWs in addition to using Harmony Connect.
This web tool, or the web administration server included in the license, is really intuitive. We can add our environments and can configure and manage them easily which is why administrators are happy with this tool.
There are no additional costs, which is why it is really important for the company.
And finally, it is managed by Check Point in terms of access, availability, and security. Connecting to the portal is secure which is really providing the company with administration security.
Check Point Infinity's web application is sometimes a little slow. It really is only a little slow, however, it is perceived that it is not normal to be that way. The performance of the site could be improved depending on the capabilities it has at the moment.
There should be more documentation on these new technologies and administrative portals, in addition to including more tools from the manufacturer to finally have them all centralized to facilitate the client's administration from the same place without having any connectivity problems.
We have used Check Point Infinity Portal for at least a year and have had great results. It is a centrally managed environment for many of the other Check Point tools.
I have not previously used a solution similar to Check Point Infinity.
The tool comes licensed with the required security tools. I recommend that new users try it as a test mode to determine if their infrastructure and the administration functionality work for them.
We always try to validate the competence of manufacturers in our organization in order to determine the best option. In this case, Check Point is the best option for us.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The tool was implemented four years ago..
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.
Regarding the scalability of the tool, it is very scalable depending on your implementation.
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.
Positive
We did not have any professional security tools.
The implementation was very simple and fast. All you have to do is meet the primary requirements.
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.
The director of the company will be continuity since if it were not safe there would have been losses.
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.
Check Point Infinity was one of the first options we had in mind due to its great reach in the security market.
The only thing would be to improve the latency in the graphical interface and technical support.
