Endpoint Security

Is the name of this forum going to change since Integrity has been rebranded as Endpoint Security with the release of 7.0?

Oh no. They didn't. "Endpoint Security" sounds like a benefit of buying Check Point products, not an actual product. And there they go, renaming stuff again. It drives us all crazy.

I'll have to look in to this.

I beleive this to be true. As I stated here, if you look at the latest price list:
CPVP-VSC (SecureClient) and CPVP-VSI (SecureClient w/ Integrity) appear to have been replaced by CPEP-xx series (CPEP is CheckPoint Endpoint).

And I can even go one better than that... 3 days ago, I got a quote from my vendor for CPVP-VSC-1000 and the next day was told that CP provided them a new 'replacement' quote for CPEP-SA-1 (Quantity: 1000). The new quote was for $10k higher and they (CP) claimed the old SKU is no longer valid (like they can't still generate a license for this).

I'm trying not to screw my vendor over, but they told me they have a quote for the old SKU from CP, so we are going to hold their feet to the fire for the old SKU. The vendor is honoring our quote for the old SKU, but CP may make them eat the difference. Can CP do that if they generated a valid quote to my vendor? Since it's a valid quote for 30 days, can CP rescind it from the vendor?

Thanks for the update. The forum now has the updated name.

For the record, CP is honoring their quote to the vendor and apologized for the drama. It was the right thing to do and I'm glad it worked out.
