Our company used Check Point Infinity to connect various locations worldwide through VPN, specifically using IPsec, rather than for cybersecurity. We implemented it in on-premises networks to collect data in data centers from different locations.

What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
The solution is expensive.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is 100 percent stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Check Point Infinity is scalable.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment took about a month, subsequent deployments were much faster, typically taking only a few days.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution's price is quite high, and the licensing model requires extra licenses for various features like SD-WAN.
What other advice do I have?
The tool is one of the most secure and stable products, with clear administration. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
I recommend Check Point Infinity to others, especially if they aren't planning to use Fortinet or Palo Alto. All three solutions—Check Point Infinity, Fortinet, and Palo Alto—offer similar levels of security. However, one thing to consider is that the tool's licensing can be expensive and complex.

A unified security system offering intelligent threat prevention but the training is difficult
What is our primary use case?
We leveraged Check Point Infinity primarily for gateway security, cloud security, endpoint security, and infrastructure as a service.
How has it helped my organization?
Architecturally, Check Point functions as a unified security system. Only one policy management section enables administrators to manage all policies from one console. The platform offers intelligent threat prevention capabilities, flagging suspicious activities and preventing potential threats before they impact your network, cloud, or mobile environments.
What is most valuable?
The whole process of consolidation, centralization, and obtaining a single pane of glass view into the current state, necessary changes, and areas for improvement.
Check Point Infinity has significantly improved our workflow within the ecosystem, making processes smoother and more efficient. It hasn’t added unnecessary work; instead, it has streamlined operations and simplified tasks.
What needs improvement?
Some aspects of the reporting in Check Point may take time to learn and become comfortable with. Training is necessary for certain areas, as some features might not be as intuitive. It's important to understand the workflow and how various components function.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Infinity for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It was very fairly stable.
I rate the stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. It can accommodate an increase in user count, handle new requirements and changes, and address emerging attack vectors, ensuring continued functionality and security.
It is used by security analysts, security engineers, and some architects.
I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using CrowdStrike.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process involves a team of network architects, security architects, security analysts, and security engineers.
I rate it an eight out of ten.
What was our ROI?
It saved our time by 25%.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It costs around 40k to 50k. We ended up getting a premium one. There was some additional cost.
What other advice do I have?
We could have faced it if Check Point Infinity had not prevented it. This includes understanding the potential security incident we were looking at, gaining insights into where the attempt was being made from, identifying the associated IOCs, and potentially attributing who might be targeting us.
Maintenance wasn't much needed. The fifteen people we had were sufficient. We had coverage across different time zones, so they were able to cover it.
I recommend the solution.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
