Good security and integration but needs better documentation
What is our primary use case?
Our corporate environment requires business protection for email and our collaboration tools to avoid threats, spam, and ransomware, among other threats coming in through email. This could have great effects on our systems and equipment.
With Check Point, we can protect our data in the cloud with tools such as One Drive, among others.
The tool works with different manufacturers, which provides great reliability.
How has it helped my organization?
Check Point has helped us improve our security layer with this complete cloud solution. We no longer depend on a Gateway as it is a complete solution that helps us prevent any type of threat that travels through email.
We have managed to have an impressive reduction in phishing that used to enter our system before applying Check Point.
We also really like its centralized environment since the Check Point Infinity Portal really centralizes everything.
What is most valuable?
The platform offers advanced security measures to protect emails from cyber threats such as phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware.
The platform is cloud-based, which means users can access their emails and collaboration tools from anywhere and on any device.
The security of collaboration tools is great.
The platform integrates with other productivity and collaboration tools like Microsoft Office, Slack, and Zoom.
What needs improvement?
Maybe they could integrate the solution with Avanan. Doing that would really make it a very robust solution.
They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response.
The solution lacks public documentation and some documentation is not so clear, which means that the client does not understand the implementation that must be carried out.
You can only see the costs through a Check Point partner.
For how long have I used the solution?
This is a very productive tool. We used it for a few months. It really helped us protect against threats in email and Microsoft collaborative tools.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
How are customer service and support?
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously we did not use more than the security provided by Microsoft itself. We have since changed to Check Point.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As for the cost, it is per protected user. It seems good to me in that aspect however, the issue of implementation sometimes costs a bit. That's okay if it can be done correctly. The licenses are easy to acquire.
