Check Point Antivirus Reviews

We use Check Point Antivirus to secure our enterprise network. It protects our data servers from malware attacks. 

The tool comes with an in-built AI feature, which makes file management easier. It also secures the network from viruses, malware, and phishing attacks. 

Check Point Antivirus' performance could be faster. It needs to include app-based support to upload screenshots of issues. It needs to add timely and regular updates. The dashboards and reporting features need to offer more efficiency. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

The product is stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. 

Check Point Antivirus is scalable. You can add the 'n' number of servers at any time. My company has 1000 users. 

The tool's tech support is good. 

Positive

The tool's deployment is easy and takes two to three hours to complete. A single person can do deployment. The tool has a SmartConsole feature, which helps to deploy it efficiently without much processing. It is easy to maintain, and one person can handle the maintenance. 

Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution. 

The product is an AI-based solution with the latest capabilities. It offers the most secure protection. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

Check Point Antivirus Blade is enabled on all of our HA clusters throughout the world. The primary use case for this product is to protect our end-users while working physically in the office or remotely. It monitors all traffic in and out of the organization to detect known threats such as malware. Functionality is limited without HTTPS inspection as the blade will just look at SRC/DST traffic rather than be able to do packet inspections on actual traffic. It is great that it is included in the base FW license.

Check Point Antivirus has improved our organization by being able to identify known threats and actively drop connections to ensure our users remain secure. It leverages the Bogus DNS endpoint from Check Point to redirect traffic destined for known threats and doesn't require a lot of admin overhead to configure or tune based on the organization's needs. An added bonus is Check Points "Threat Cloud" which all of its gateways talk to so that attacks that are detected in one customer's environment are updated and would be blocked automatically within another environment. 

Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure. We enable the blade in the SMS for the gateway and that's pretty much it. You can get into the nitty gritty and fine-tune some of the settings to fit your organization better than the default settings, however, personally, I have yet to do this and it is working as expected in my organization. It is also great that this is not an add-on license and is included with the low-tier licensing which helps to reduce the overall cost to the organization while increasing the value of the product.

Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation. I have had a few times where something was detected as being a false positive and TAC requested so much information that in all honesty, was not worth my time to collect as the URL being blocked was a simple webpage that, based on my analysis, the IP was previously being used for malicious intent and was now a legitimate business however was still being blocked by the blade.

I've used the solution for five years. 

We have not had any performance issues.

It is easy to scale and enable on SGs as long as they are managed by the same SMS.

Support has improved over the years.

Positive

No previous solution was utilized. This solution has been in place on the SGs since they were installed.

The setup is straightforward. It is enabled from the SMS and it works.

We managed the setup of the solution in-house.

The ROI is revealed by the fact that it protects end-users.

Check Point in general is moderately priced compared to competitors.

We evaluated Palo Alto and Fortigate.

Check Point Antivirus helps us to protect our networks and systems against computer threats such as viruses, spyware, malware, and online attacks. It helped us greatly improve the security perimeter with its advanced features, such as intrusion prevention, threat detection, and access control, which help to protect sensitive data and company information. It's helped us shrink all the security gaps and is an excellent tool for protecting all the endpoints of an organization. If the company must be audited, it helps a lot to meet many of the compliance requirements.

Check Point Antivirus helped us to improve in several ways. It offers advanced features such as data protection. With it, we were able to protect sensitive and confidential company data from online threats and external attacks. 

We also achieved intrusion prevention using intrusion detection to prevent attacks on the company network. 

With Check Point, we can implement security measures to control access to the network and systems, which helps prevent unauthorized access.

With its various features, we can enable business continuity with adequate protection while minimizing risks in operations.

Some of the Check Point Antivirus features that users may find valuable include:

The firewall helps provide protection to block unauthorized access to the network.

Intrusion prevention prevents attacks on the company network and helps companies to comply with regulatory requirements related to data protection.

It has a wide range of features that help make this tool one of the best on the market.

As with any tool, improvements can be made. Some improvements that would be useful include:

• An updated user interface to improve it to make it easier to use.
• Integration with other security tools. We'd like to see better integration with other security tools.
• They should incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning 
• Performance could be better to reduce the impact on system resources as it consumes a lot of resources from some endpoints.

The solution was implemented approximately five years ago.

The tool was designed to be highly stable with regular software updates and proactive monitoring.

It is a highly scalable tool that has centralized management, automatic updates, and load-balancing capabilities. 

They must improve support and customer service by improving response times and their SLA.

Positive

Previously, we only used an antivirus on the devices. After migrating our platform to the cloud, we needed a more robust tool and chose Check Point. 

The installation of the product is complex if you do not have any previous knowledge. Once that learning curve is overcome, the administration and configuration become easy.

The implementation was done in conjunction with an engineer from the provider and the IT department.

It is always good to generate an implementation plan for the acquisition and company requirements to make the best purchase decision and to gain a quick return.

The price and licenses will depend on the features and functions that need to be implemented, as well as the number of devices needed. It is easy to install, however, you must have prior knowledge of the product.

We evaluated several solutions on the market that met the characteristics and requirements that we needed. Some were:

• McAfee Endpoint Security
• Trend Micro OfficeScan
• Sophos Endpoint Protection

It is always important to do a cost analysis and check requirements before making a decision.

Check Point Antivirus has proven to be a savior. It helps in protecting our computers and other e-devices at endpoints from malicious ransomware, etc. 

It actively eliminates malware and protects the system from any potential damage. 

It is well-performing antivirus software that is absolutely different from traditional threat-combating antivirus tools. 

Conventional antivirus software is often not upgraded enough to fight advanced threats. Check Point Antivirus's performance efficiency is quite good and is highly recommended by peers.

Check Point Antivirus is an advanced antivirus software with high-performance efficiency and is continuously improvising its features and version to have better security enhancements at the end. 

They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability. It comes quite highly recommended. Everyone recommends it. 

Our organization used to spend a lot on data and system security. The cost of security was increasingly becoming relatively high and unmanageable. Our peers recommended trying the Check Point Solution, which felt great after using it. It is worth having this security software for businesses!

The high malware catchment rate is great and really commendable. The software is equipped with scanning all kinds of sources, email servers, and cloud servers for their endpoint threat and immediately diffuses and eliminates the threat source and threat points. It helps us to improve security scanning and also leads to endpoint management throughout. 

The software provides advanced security features like signature-based malware detection, which is widely used by organizations for scanning their code management and securing their code system end to end.

The other features, like real-time endpoint detection, help us with 24/7 scanning and monitoring of the system for ransomware, and can immediately remove them permanently. 

Everything is just great about the software. That said, a certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours. Small, marginal, and medium enterprises could also use a reduced subscription model so as not to pose much burden on budgets. 

Also, the cybersecurity trend is quite dynamic and changes every now and then. It would be really great if continuous upgrades and orientation and training on upgrades could be proactively arranged and organized by concerned officials from time to time.

It's been one year now since I've been using the solution.

It is a very stable software.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We started using Check Point. An earlier in-house-based local solution was used as an antivirus before that.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through the vendor only.

The ROI looks promising.

The setup cost is significantly lower for Check Point Antivirus. Its pricing is low compared to the majority of the competitors. Licensing is smooth and easy.

We evaluated McAfee, Trend Security, etc., before finalizing the usage of Check Point Antivirus.

It's a must-have security solution for all businesses and professionals as it is an advanced security solution with enough capabilities to improve cybersecurity enhancement for businesses. 

We primarily install Check Point Antivirus on company computers and laptops to prevent malware infections, particularly focusing on protecting against phishing attacks and malicious downloads by employees.

The platform has significantly improved our organization's cybersecurity posture by effectively detecting and containing malware threats. 

The product's sandboxing feature is valuable as it runs suspicious files in a virtual environment. It helps us analyze their behavior without risking the main system.

The platform's malware detection capabilities could be enhanced. There is room for improvement in detecting more sophisticated and emerging threats.

Additionally, including AI-driven features that can automatically generate and optimize security policies based on the organization's specific needs and threats would be beneficial.

I have been using Check Point Antivirus for about two to three years.

The platform has proven to be very stable. We have not encountered any major issues or downtime related to its operation.

The product seamlessly scales from small to large deployments without any noticeable performance degradation. I rate the scalability a ten. 

I have heard positive feedback regarding the technical support team's responsiveness and expertise.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward. Installing agents and deploying the software on devices was simple, although configuring detailed security policies required some cybersecurity knowledge.

I rate Check Point Antivirus a seven out of ten. 

The solution helps to protect our networks. 

Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network.

The product streamlines security operations in our IT environment through its single configuration point, making it easy to configure all available blades. Monitoring, extracting logs from, and integrating with our Active Directory are also easy.

All of the features work in tandem for effective malware prevention.
We are quite satisfied with Check Point Antivirus, as it offers leading-edge features that other companies may not have. Despite the higher price, we carefully selected the product based on its feature set.

The sandbox technology is very useful. It operates offline in the cloud and facilitates easy replication. The tool works with our Ubiquiti switches and Active Directory.

The product should improve its pricing. 

We have stress-tested the tool. We've pushed a lot of requests to it, and it seems to be working fine.

I think we will reach a limit once we get more traffic. But we don't expect that to happen on our current network. However, we would have to move to the next version regarding scalability. They have different tiers in their models with different performance levels. So we pitch in regards to current plus fifty percent. If we exceed that, we must go to the next level and buy the next product. My company has 150-200 users. I operate this with a team of two people. One is a primary, and the other is a secondary. It's extensively used, and we're always configuring and tuning it.

We're paying for premium support, but it's worth its weight in gold because they are very quick. They understand things easily and come back to you with solutions very quickly. They reply quickly and know their stuff, which makes them easy to work with. They help us when we have problems and ensure they understand what we need.

The setup of Check Point Antivirus can be straightforward or complex, depending on your familiarity with the product. Once you're familiar with it, the interface is easy to configure.

The deployment process was quick for us. We configured it using configuration files. We completed the configuration within four days, including a trial version over one weekend and production the following weekend.

We relied on our in-house expertise for the deployment. However, the support provided by Check Point Antivirus was outstanding.

The return on investment is positive. Check Point Antivirus is not only securing our network but also simplifying management and facilitating changes.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. My advice is that you get what you pay for. While it may cost more, Check Point Antivirus offers a fully mature, professional-grade product. This means you can trust that it's doing its job of securing our network. With Check Point Antivirus, you have peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong, support is available.

The solution has a mobile monitoring system called WatchTower that you can link to a mobile. It would be great if they could add an antivirus feature so that we can monitor individual TCS activities too. Anyone willing to use this solution can certainly do so. The tool is very easy to use and the approach to security and updates is very good. Implementing policies and rules on-premises is also very user-friendly with the solution. Moreover, we can direct three to four billings together. If one ISP goes down, the second one automatically picks up. People wouldn’t even know that their internet has dropped. This kind of technology with low latency is very advantageous.

I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. 

They should also consider reducing the price so that more people will go for the solution.

I have been using the tool for almost two years.

The tool is stable.

The tool is scalable. There are roughly 60 users for the solution in our company.

I have not contacted the tech support team directly. I contacted them through the Check Point dealers in Sri Lanka. They have technicians who assist us. I contacted them several times to understand some settings during the installation of the tool in the system.

I have used Kaspersky and found Check Point to be better. There was an incident with Kaspersky when a person clicked on an email-generated ransomware and it got onto the system. Kaspersky couldn’t protect against the attacks and the ransomware spread. However, when the system was monitored by Check Point, the firewall protected it from downloading any malicious files. Hence, Check Point is doing a better job than Kaspersky. The only advantage that Kaspersky has over Check Point is the price since it is cheaper than Check Point. 

Kaspersky costs below 50,000-40,000 Sri Lankan Rupees.

The deployment of the solution is straightforward.

We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution does a pretty good job and is easy to use. I am the person maintaining the tool and only one person is required to maintain it. Their configuration portal is user-friendly and anyone can crack it with a little bit of knowledge.
