Check Point Antivirus Reviews

Check Point Antivirus is used with integrations in all the software of our company and also with connections to all the computers that we use in our employees. All operational areas have Check Point Antivirus implemented.

Check Point Antivirus has the ability to monitor the status of the network and know if there is any threat in our network and thus clean it immediately and maintain security.

In our organization, all departments of the company are protected and secure since the implementation and something important can be monitored in real-time from the application of Check Point Antivirus.

It was necessary to implement a tool to detect data leaks and protect the services in our business. The most sensitive software service was where Check Point began to be implemented, seeing how well it worked, it expanded to different areas of the business

With the implementation of Check Point, our computers have been safe within our network and have prevented the entry of threats thanks to the EDR system. We also needed a tool that had system recovery and this tool satisfactorily meets all our requirements.

All the features that Check Point antivirus presents are very important for the implementation of network security and the most valuable part of this tool is the easy and interactive way of its configuration through SmartConsole in Check Point.

It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus, which is the most important thing. IPS and Antivirus work together, which provides more flexibility and security throughout our work environment and thus be able to have a well-secured infrastructure

One of the most frequent problems that Check Point Antivirus presents is that some antivirus updates fail continuously. However, once the update is done, it does not present any problem and works very well. The solution has high CPU and memory consumption on the firewall. It should work on the consumption of resources since we have also detected that the same thing happens with the performance of the users' machines.

The graphical interface of the solution should also improve a little since it is a little complicated to find certain objects to be able to make a configuration, in addition the guides are outdated and sometimes they do not match the interface which is sometimes complicated to implement.

Check Point Antivirus was implemented 4 years ago..

It is a very stable product. However, we've had some problems with the updates.

It has excellent scalability. The same profile can be used with the same exceptions in the management firewalls

The technical support is regular. There are well-prepared technicians. There are others who are still lacking since some problems have arisen and it has cost them to solve them.

Positive

We used Check Point as our first option.

The initial configuration is simple since it presents a very intuitive graphical interface for the user. The configuration of blocking and allowing rules is easy since the panel was designed to make it as user-friendly as possible.

The implementation was done together with the provider and was quite profitable. The provider was qualified to do this type of installation.

Our ROI is that we keep all our network and equipment safe and updated.

I'd recommend you to try it. It is a good tool that allows and gives users the confidence to manage the network and keep it safe.

As we have already been working with different Check Point products, it was the first option to maintain a consistent line of technology.

Before making the implementation, I'd advise users to verify the performance of the machines where it will be used.

Due to many attacks in our country, we decided to look for a robust solution to avoid current threats, including ransomware among others.

Our company was looking to protect our infrastructure or perimeter, but due to constant attacks in our country with modern threats to computer systems, we decided to use a tool that can provide us with the correct security. In addition to validating that we could include it in our Check Point environment in a simple way.

The simple administration gave us the ability to provide greater security with the company's permission, avoiding threats such as malware, among others.

We currently have this resource and we can manage and verify it from our management server.

We have been able to internally provide security to our teams, with robust antivirus security policies to take actions and regulations to prevent the spread of viruses and malware that is modernizing more and more.

This antivirus blade is not like the previous security versions, it really is a powerful tool which provides this additional layer of protection against malicious files that could affect both data and systems, we feel safer and calmer with this solution despite all the attacks that have occurred in recent times in our country, but not in our company..

We really like this antivirus security tool, included in the security management server used for our Check Point gateways. The ability to include blades is very good, it allows the centralization of security in our gateways natively.

There is also a lot of documentation to be able to use this security feature in the best way using the best practices indicated by the manufacturer, with this we guarantee the use of the tool correctly.

Finally, in our company, we like the ease of implementation.

Check Point Antivirus could use improvement in some areas, as almost all blades within the security management server are not the same as in gateway management.

On the other hand, the solution is expensive, they could improve costs in order to win more customers.

There are new tools that generate this protection, so this tool can become old, I would like for it not to be discontinued.    

Once this tool has been implemented in Microsoft Azure, it can be used with a VSS or with a cluster to provide scalability.

We previously used ESET, but it did not meet expectations against ransomware at an enterprise group company we support. We prefer to opt for a tool with prestige.

Check Point's tools, specifically this one, are quite stable to manage from the security management server.

The costs are high, however, the tool fulfills its security objective very well,

I recommend looking for a good partner that will help you both with your needs and find the right tool to provide the company's internal security.

It is always a good practice to review the options in the security market to avoid threats and acquire the solution that best suits the company's conditions.

We required a product recognized for its brand visibility and achievements in cybersecurity at a global level.

Check Point was perfectly suited and we decided to use it effectively for our endpoint devices that are corporate property. In this way, we have avoided daily threats on devices with a great degree of acceptance seen by users.

Check Point Antivirus has helped us a lot with the personal protection of users' computers and protection against current threats and ransomware, among others. It is an excellent product that generates much business confidence when dealing with any cyber threat that can compromise computers.

It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users. In this way, it does not generate performance problems.

It is a good tool. The price is accessible. It protects against modern threats in a great way; there is a lot of confidence in Check Point.

There is quite a lot of product documentation to assist with a correct implementation.

The ease of installation is great.

The Check Point language for opening and solving cases is English. They could expand languages for Latin America, and it would be easier to solve problems in these areas.

Costs are only available through a Check Point partner.

The SLA is slow. The solutions provided to address problems and breakdowns are slow.

As a product from the Check Point security family, we have been using it for one year or more.

Previously, we used ESET, however, we were inclined to switch to Check Point.

Our company always evaluates the tools before buying them and before putting them into production.

The implementation was really easy. We were able to activate the antivirus blade and install it on the computers we required. In this way, we were able to provide security for malware protection - all represented by Check Point Security Management.

It was required to expand or have the license to use the antivirus security utility. A point that cost us at the beginning was implementing the licenses in the management server however, once up and running, it was easy.

It is an old brand that has all the anti-malware protection, signatures, and revisions to avoid vulnerabilities.

Our organization teams used a Microsoft-based antivirus. However, we already had Check Point gateways in use. We wanted to unify the protection more, and we tried the use of Check Point Antivirus. We really have no complaints. It offers good anti-malware protection and ransomware, among other modern threat protection features. The installation of the equipment was easy, and we achieved the main objective of unifying the protected environment.

We currently use Check Point Management R81, which is one of the most complete versions.

The logs and monitoring are valuable features. It generates enough visibility in terms of what happens on our equipment.

The sandboxing validates some files that have threat qualities. 

We like this security tool.

Check Point is one of the best security brands according to the Gartner quadrant. However, it needs improvement in some areas.

We would like to see better guides in the future with more concrete examples of the best practices.

The support is somewhat complicated. Sometimes they take a long time to solve problems. The language barrier is an issue for Spanish-speaking people. 

Support hours are generally contrary to the hours in Latin America. They could expand the support more and have more trained and effective technical personnel to help customers.

For at least eight months, we have used this solution, which greatly facilitates our security. It is an antivirus implemented through Check Point Gateway R81.

Previously, we used a Microsoft Antivirus. It's not bad. However, we wanted a tool integrated with our Check Point technologies, and therefore, we validated the options to make the required changes.

It is important to assess and verify the costs of Check Point technologies with an expert vendor to help determine the technology and tool that can meet the specific business needs of each company.

The documentation is outdated. However, if it is validated well, it is possible to obtain what is required for the implementations.

At the level of antivirus, we looked at Sophos and McAfee. However, the implementation most adopted in our environment was Check Point. We are convinced that it was the best option.

The product is an easy-to-implement and centralized antivirus solution. I recommend it.

We use this product as an endpoint antivirus solution.

We find the zero-day protection to be an extremely valuable feature of this solution.

We would like to see the URL filtering functionality improved in this solution, so that we can exclude domains, rather than just single site URL's.

We have been working with this solution for nearly four years.

We have found this to be a very stable solution during our time using it.

We have not had any issues with the scalability of this solution due to the fact that it is cloud-based, and can be deployed to more users automatically as needed.

The initial setup of this solution is very simple, and the cloud-based deployment is very quick.

We used a team of integrators for our implementation.

We also evaluated Palo Alto Endpoint, but it was too complicated to configure, and presented too many technical challenges.

We recommend the cloud-based variant of this solution to organizations of all sizes as there is no upper limit to the number of users it can cover, and the price is affordable for SMB's.

We would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I'm using Check Point Antivirus for my customer, mainly to check threat activity and generate a report on threats in the customer environment. I then compare different reports and check for possible IP threats by reviewing the IP address database on Check Point Antivirus. I also use the tool to check malicious activity on applications and use it as an EPS solution.

What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a strong tool for preventing malicious traffic and threats from entering the environment. It has a threat prevention policy so that I can stop different types of threats from entering a workspace or environment.

What's missing in Check Point Antivirus is the EDL feature, which I want Check Point to add in the future.

Check Point Antivirus is very stable, and I'd rate its stability as nine out of ten.

Check Point Antivirus has excellent scalability, but you need a license because there's a limit depending on your license. The tool works fine if you have the correct number of licenses.

The scalability of the tool is a nine out of ten.

Check Point Antivirus provides excellent technical support, but if the customer doesn't pay for the correct number of licenses, there will be issues, and support may not be as good.

I'd rate Check Point Antivirus support as eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup for Check Point Antivirus wasn't difficult for me. If you know your network, then it's not complicated. Configuring and setting the tool up could be difficult if you don't have networking knowledge.

Installing the architecture with different appliances takes two to three days, and learning the tool and the rules would take one week for the customer.

Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly and is similar to Fortinet, pricing-wise.

I'm a consultant working with Check Point technologies, including Check Point Antivirus.

Deploying and maintaining Check Point Antivirus requires two to three engineers.

My advice to anyone planning to use Check Point Antivirus is that it's a good tool, especially if you're using an endpoint solution from Check Point.

My rating for Check Point Antivirus is seven out of ten because you need to be certified to manage the tool and for it to work well for your company. It could be a very complex tool, depending on the customer.

The antivirus helps the organization in securing desktops and mobile devices from external data threats. It detects the entry of viruses to devices that can destroy data and quickly takes necessary action. 

Once the software is installed, there is no additional cost that is required to run it. It troubleshoots any errors that may slow down workflows across applications. Check Point Antivirus integrates with multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux. 

Since I installed it on my desktop, the browsing speed has improved, and I can visit several sites without fear.

The software has improved the digital experience of employees who have deployed it. 

I can comfortably open links attached to my emails and share documents with my colleagues without fear of cyber attacks. 

Departments that used to lose data to virus attacks can work from any site and focus more on productive business engagements. 

The antivirus provides advanced security data analytics that helps the user to work from safe sites that can affect tasks in progress. 

The software screens applications to ensure they perform effectively.

Virus detection helps teams to be aware of any threats that can harm data and take precautions in advance. 

It provides networking reports on the data security situation, which enables users to make decisions. 

Performance metrics provided regularly help the IT team plan to curb any threats to company data.

It is easy to deploy the antivirus and learn how it works. 

The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed. 

Daily security analysis indicators help team members to engage any abnormality with real-time insights.

The current features are doing extremely well. That said, the system coding can be simplified to enable any user to interpret the security situation of the used device. 

I am happy with the set data models since they monitor the security situation of new sites before browsing. 

I have not observed most failures since I started using this software. 

The company can embark on timely updates to ensure the application is compatible with devices. 

Customer support comes in on time when we contact them via online chats and phone calls. 

When there are many devices, it is more costly since each device requires unique login credentials. 

The product is heavy, and it requires more space for effective operation. New users can find it difficult to set up and install due to the lack of a robust user manual.

I've used the solution for eight months.

It works for a long time without failing and does not misbehave.

The antivirus performance has been excellent.

The customer service team has never failed us.

Positive

I used Kaspersky Antivirus, however, it used to fail most of the time. 

The installation process of the application is easy and straightforward.

I deployed it through a vendor, and they are doing well.

A secure work environment has contributed to increased ROI.

The pricing is suitable, and the setup process is simple.

I evaluated most free online antiviruses, however, they were not effective.

 Check Point Antivirus is a sure bet for the detection of any virus.

I work in a technologically advanced environment of data analytics and data mining services. We are experts in providing management consulting in the field of financial audit and data analytics for corporates to determine future business projections. We use a large number of tech tools and software with APIs with various platforms and portals of different vendors and clients' systems. Check Point antivirus is a one-stop solution for managing endpoint security solutions along with providing advanced security features to prevent malware attacks.

Check Point antivirus software is an all-in-one solution for providing system security from malware and phishing attacks from multiple systems and web sources. We are living in an era of hyper cyber threats and attacks and to tackle such threats, it is essential to have foolproof system security from all kinds of endpoints. 

The antivirus software should be able to prevent all kinds of system attacks in a smart and efficient way without harming the system configuration. It is highly cost-effective and results in an umbrella solution against all kinds of malware and spam. It provides 360 degrees in security management for web and cloud systems.

Check Point antivirus software is agile and efficient in managing spam and threat attacks on web and cloud systems. The software is extremely efficient in scanning computers and websites all the time. The software runs in the back of the system and never hampers the work at the front end.

It is highly cost-effective and saves enough manpower cost in tackling such phishing attacks on the system.

It has a customer-savvy interface and easily customizable as per client and business requirements.

Deployment is easily adjustable.

We'd like the solution to kindly start this service offering on SaaS and PaaS models also. It would help more and more small, marginal and large businesses to come forward and try the solution. Customer attraction and retention are the need of the hour.

It is highly advisable to receive more and more genuine feedback from users and publish it on websites as feedback traffic is extremely important to gauge business performance progress.

It is advised to have a longish trial period for business users as an extended trial period will help customers to assess their requirements in a better way and will greatly help in their buying decision.

It's been more than two years now since I started using the solution and the experience is so far so good.

It is highly stable in the most fragile environments. It never breaks down.

The solution is impressive and highly scalable 

Technical support is highly responsive and attentive to any of our service requests.

Positive

I have used the Quick Heal Total Security Antivirus solution in past and found the same little costly and ineffective in a few performance parameters which pushed me to switch from the earlier solution to Check Point.

It is an easy deployment with no tech detailing as things were crystal clear since inception and were not at all fussy.

We used a vendor team only. We had a good experience with them. I'd rate them five out of five. 

We've seen an ROI of almost 30%.

Always aim to optimize the setup cost, pricing, and licensing as any overboard in these costs can backfire on the organization and business can get adversely affected.

We also looked at Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro security solutions.

It's a one-stop solution for 360-degree endpoint security management for your web and cloud systems. It provides end-to-end protection from viruses and malware attacks and strengthens our system security to the fullest.
