Great sandboxing and phishing protection with the ability to expand
Pros and Cons
  • "The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
  • "The product improved the overall security of our organization with features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
  • "We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
  • "We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."

What is our primary use case?

We were searching for a next-generation antivirus solution, and this was the best choice on the market.

We have 25 users who work from home and the office.

All computers have Windows Professional version 10 or 11 installed.

We implemented a policy in which every client (either PC or mobile) has to have the Endpoint protection software installed with all the available blades.

Our company's cyber security monitoring process includes centralized product monitoring. 

How has it helped my organization?

The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention.

We have centralized monitoring of the security of the clients even if they are not connected to our VPN network.

The e-mail and office solution is a great add-on to our existing Office 365 protection on our company's e-mails.

I also have to mention that we did not have our mobile devices protected before the implementation of Harmony mobile. That was really the next step in securing our company's overall IT security.

What is most valuable?

The sandboxing is good. We didn't have any file ransomware attacks since implementation.

The phishing protection works. It prevented a lot of nasty situations with fake websites.

Using this solution in e-mail and Office, we recognized how many man-in-the-middle attacks have been started to get some credential information from our employees.

In mobile, we didn't realize before how much harm can be done from the mobile devices in the network.

It replaced the ESET solutions we used before in our company.

What needs improvement?

We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature.

Maybe the exceptions could be made much more understandable and easy to use.

There should be an option added to temporarily disable the protection of all or some blades for testing reasons.

The email and Office solution could have some options for exceptions, for example: don't scan e-mails sent to the local PDF scanner e-mail address.

Maybe an option to auto-upgrade the client version to the next stable release of the client software would be nice.

Good scanning capabilities, excellent network security, and easy to configure
Pros and Cons
  • "It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus."
  • "One of the most frequent problems that Check Point Antivirus presents is that some antivirus updates fail continuously."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

Check Point Antivirus was implemented 4 years ago..

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Check Point as our first option.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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

What was our ROI?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Pros and Cons
  • "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 should improve its pricing."

What is our primary use case?

The solution helps to protect our networks. 

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The product should improve its pricing. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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

What was our ROI?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Good threat extraction, reduces malicious attacks, and offers great features
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
  • "They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."

What is our primary use case?

The implementation of Check Point Harmony Endpoint has provided great improvements in the functioning of our organization. Therefore, we wanted to protect our courses from cyber attacks and required an end-to-end security system that could prevent/save us from cyber attacks and protect our sensitive data. 

The advantages that it presents is that you can access the systems on multiple devices, be it laptops, Mac, Windows or mobile devices and this is a great benefit. It provides reports where it brings the details of vulnerabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint was implemented due to the fact that malware and cyber-attacks have been steadily increasing lately and we needed a tool that would prevent cyber-attacks. With Harmony Endpoint, it is possible to identify those attacks and prevent them. It has also given us the possibility to qualify all these possible attacks and thus take into account where and how they want to penetrate our network.

This implementation provided a fully functional antivirus solution that gave the company the ability to defend against almost all threats occurring inside or outside the network.

What is most valuable?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner.

The threat extraction and threat emulation have been a great benefit to give more autonomy to users.

On the other hand, it cannot be left out that it reduces the number of malicious attacks. It has helped us to properly monitor what has been happening with our network traffic and prevent individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations.

What needs improvement?

Some problems that I have had with this and other Check Point tools in the cloud is when entering the portal since it stops responding or takes a long time to process a query and this causes delays and efficiency.

They should also add new functions such as threat hunting. 

Finally, it should be able to implement with and have a good integration and interaction with Azure in the management of vulnerabilities, and data management that between the two can be integrated 100% with Check Point Harmony Endpoint and thus be able to make good automated management.

For how long have I used the solution?

It was implemented approximately 2 years ago

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is very stable. It has some problems in the cloud where the access is stuck, however, nothing has caused improper functioning.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an easy to scale tool.

How are customer service and support?

We have had good experiences. The cases have been successfully concluded.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Nothing was implemented that was similar to this type of tool.

How was the initial setup?

As mentioned before, the configuration of this tool is very simple and interactive.

What about the implementation team?

When the installation was done, a vendor helped us and explained how it worked.

What was our ROI?

With this tool, you can be sure of and have confidence that the investment made will protect the company's complete information.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a tool that I highly recommend. Its implementation is very easy, as is its configuration.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Several tools were taken into account, however, Check Point was chosen as we have already used several tools and it has given us confidence and solidity.

What other advice do I have?

It is an excellent tool in the management of vulnerabilities.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Good real-time endpoint analysis, great blocking mechanisms, detects malware effectively
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
  • "We have observed some policies are not working as expected."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for multiple purposes such as endpoint protection, organizational malware attack tracking and maintaining, blocking of IP addresses, domain and URL blocking, and prevention and detection, according to the purposes we follow. 

Check Point is the best in the marketplace for next-generation firewalls. In combination with Endpoint Security, it proves to be stable, error-free, and up-to-date with the latest fixes and solutions available. 

How has it helped my organization?

Earlier in our organization there was normally an antivirus which was used to check endpoint protection and policies according to what was applied. However, the detection of endpoints was not up to date with real-time analysis. 

There is a lot of gap in analysis. The malware reports and signatures were not updated in real-time. There was no blocking of Suspicious URLs or domains in real-time. As we using Check Point in DMZ. We purchased the license and implemented it in the UAT zone for the best outcome as per the organization's requirements.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspects of the solution are the real-time endpoint analysis and blocking mechanism, the detection of malware and threats is the best use of this technology. 

As we have the stability of this product and best practices solution is applied to the infrastructure as endpoints have a clear view of the statistics and performance. 

Also, we have monitored the server level where it's been protected from the outside world. The CPU, memory, and hard disk consumption and compromisation are good. 

The dashboard has also been user-friendly and easy to understand.  

What needs improvement?

Check Point is the best in the marketplace. As the EDR [Endpoint Harmony] there is a lot of enhancement in fixing the solution. We have observed some policies are not working as expected. We have observed a few cosmetic issues as well, however, it's fine. 

Minor release should improve the stability and overall performance of the endpoint solution. Consumption of the endpoint solution should have clear visibility on day-to-day operation tasks that are being carried out also we should monitor the malicious IP address and URL for blocking the same.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for four or more years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is the best in the marketplace.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is the best in the marketplace.

We did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the setup with an in-house team. I'd rate the experience foud out of five.

What was our ROI?

The ROI witnessed is the best in the marketplace.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point is the best in the marketplace. It's a good EDR and the cost is minimal.
