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."
  • "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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for more then two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We didn't have any stability issues. We always use the stable releases of the client software.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution offers very good scalability.

How are customer service and support?

So far, support is very good. I recommend them.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We used ESET, which was not satisfying.

How was the initial setup?

It was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented through a local implementor.

What was our ROI?

The protection it gives to the clients is priceless.

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

Get in contact with your local Check Point solution provider to give you an offer regarding the implementation.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evalute the Fortinet solution.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Easy to install and deploy with great threat mitigation
Pros and Cons
  • "Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
  • "A good endpoint security product must be able to be flexible in both deployments and across multiple OS versions, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint does that for us."
  • "The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
  • "Support could be improved. I'd give them a 7/10 before COVID, and maybe a 5/10 post-COVID."

What is our primary use case?

Endpoints have always been a network's weak point, as they are the main interface users use daily. A good endpoint security product must be able to be flexible in both deployments and across multiple OS versions. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint does that for us. With multiple blades that add security to these weak points, I can be assured that threats are being mitigated in real-time. Also, Harmony Endpoint works seamlessly with Check Point's new MDR product, so logging, detecting, and responding couldn't be easier. 

How has it helped my organization?

With the new Harmony interface, I don't have to worry about a local endpoint management server anymore, making my deployments and updating of endpoints so much easier across the board. 

I haven't had issues with anti-malware updates anymore, and I can manage my endpoints from one Infinity Cloud portal. 

Being short-staffed in my department, this solution has absorbed some of the daily tasks of monitoring endpoint products to ensure they are up and running. Also, reporting services/blades that aren't running lets me use my time more freely. 

What is most valuable?

Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy. It was a hassle before with a local management server, and now it's as easy as selecting the version you want from a drop-down menu. 

The options for removing/adding blades with the click of a button from the portal are great. The built-in VPN blade makes it so easy to deploy on my endpoints if I need employee remote access to my LAN. 

The installation is so easy with the simple MSI deployment packages, and I can watch the deployment process in real-time from the Cloud Portal. 

What needs improvement?

The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times. I would like to restrict it to only US traffic, however, due to the hosting in the cloud, it sometimes retrieves data from the EU and across seas. 

Also, if there was a way to simplify the SmartConsole login more, there could be an opportunity to take away some clicks to log in. Navigating back to the browser to log in through that portal site just makes for a more extended login transition. Just have the MFA capability right there on the local application and be done with it. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Check Point's endpoint solution for five years, however, just recently moved to the Harmony interface this summer. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability makes it easy to move up or down. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability makes it easy to move up or down. 

How are customer service and support?

Support could be improved. I'd give them a 7/10 before COVID, and maybe a 5/10 post-COVID. If you know who to ask for, it's more an 8/10. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

We did not use a different solution previously.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward. Check Point assists the whole way, so it was very easy. 

What about the implementation team?

I handled the deployment in-house, myself. 

What was our ROI?

I'm not sure if we have seen an ROI. 

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

Our rep has been great to work with concerning quotes/licensing. The setup is relatively easy, being in the cloud. A new customer could be up and running on a new Harmony install within days. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

CrowdStrike was the main one we evaluated against this product. 

What other advice do I have?

It is a great product. Check Point could work on their Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to assist customers, however, they usually get the job done in the end.

A fast solution that is easy to install and simple to manage
Pros and Cons
  • "Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
  • "We can say that Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a fast solution, easy to install, simple to manage, and, above all, when in use, it is not very intrusive with users' daily activities."
  • "Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
  • "The issue of licensing is something that I don't like."

What is our primary use case?

With the changes produced by the pandemic, we needed to secure the equipment inside and outside the organization. That is why we looked for a solution that would protect business equipment, providing a robust security line and where perimeter protection for users is established. Those working from home or anywhere else are not compromised with this product on-side, and these users are connecting easily. By having the experience of using the tool, we realize that it secures and protects us from all kinds of attacks.

How has it helped my organization?

We have realized that it helps us with the prevention of ransomware, malware and identification of suspicious connections. It allowed us to have a centralized administration panel which makes it easier for us to view and manage each of the devices and the alerts found or notified by each of them. devices, creating rules and allowing us to protect the activities carried out by users. We can say that Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a fast solution, easy to install, simple to manage, and, above all, when in use, it is not very intrusive with users' daily activities.

What is most valuable?

One of the characteristics is the detection of anti-ransomware, which helps us to protect our equipment and data against any eventuality. This solution detects and analyzes any attempt to encrypt the data. If they are encrypted, the same solution stores and restores a version of the compromised data. 

Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Among other features, this Endpoint Behavioral Guard identifies families of malware, file-less attacks, and other generic malicious behaviors that are the most common attacks when you are in unsafe networks without a protection solution.

What needs improvement?

It is one of the best, however, with respect to its support on iOS and Android, it can improve a little more.

Something worth mentioning is the need for support in Spanish and better representation for teams in the Latin American area, where there is a growing demand for these IT services and new technologies.

Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated, and they should improve their design.

Let people try it, and it will quickly remote users. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is quick to configure and easy to manage. Therefore it is really scalable. 

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

We did not previously use a different solution. 

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

The issue of licensing is something that I don't like. The licenses are per package, not per unit, and that in some cases affects the acquisition of the solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good security features and excellent protection from malware and ransomware
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the characteristics of this antivirus that is valuable is the detection of ransomware."
  • "This solution is consistently implemented as part of the organization's endpoint security solution, combining global threat intelligence and next-generation advanced threat prevention engines."
  • "We'd like them to include more learning-type notifications to users when detecting any eventuality or attack on their computers in order to educate them and teach them about this type of incident."
  • "We've had a bad taste based on this part of the service."

What is our primary use case?

We had an absence of an antivirus utility that would give us protection inside and outside the organization. This tool integrated into several Check Point solutions helped us remedy this need. Starting from there, we have been applying this feature to meet the need and keep our users safe and secure. 

This solution is consistently implemented as part of the organization's endpoint security solution, combining global threat intelligence and next-generation advanced threat prevention engines. 

How has it helped my organization?

The endpoint security features are great. You not only have a solution that manages your computer but also protects you from malware, ransomware, and also from any other virus. You can do so from wherever you are and connect your computer to the internet. This feature learns well and is supported by global threat intelligence and zero-day threat prevention engines and many of the new generation. 

For us, it is important to have solutions that always protect and innovate the security of users and above all security and protection in real time. 

What is most valuable?

One of the characteristics of this antivirus that is valuable is the detection of ransomware. I can detect viruses that have done the most damage in recent years. I can protect users from damages and total or partial loss of information. We're being well protected. This protection feeds on databases that are constantly updated, giving greater security. It is worth using, and having in our organization is one of the products that will make the difference during an attack and will safeguard the security of the equipment.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see, in the future, this virus emulation feature deployed to endpoint security where it sends the virus found in sandboxing and emulates the attack, notifying administrators via a portal so that they can find out and learn from the attack that they are having.  

Another point to consider is the ability to include more learning-type notifications to users when detecting any eventuality or attack on their computers in order to educate them and teach them about this type of incident.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is easy to configure and is not very invasive with users, which makes it very practical to use.

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

Their service in Spanish is something that we need. We've had a bad taste based on this part of the service. We need more attention to our language. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Pros and Cons
  • "It is one of the best security solutions in the market today."
  • "It is one of the best antivirus applications on the market currently."
  • "The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent."

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Antivirus helps restrict malicious threats and trojans from entering into the IT system and secure the system end to end. 

Also, its feature of endpoint detection and response helps business users to restrict any malware attack onto the system in more robust manner and stop any threat attack attempts.

It also secures the system in a foolproof way and boosts the performance to greatest extent. This result boosted productivity and improved outcomes for the organization as a whole. It is one of the best antivirus applications on the market currently. 

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Antivirus has removed the endpoint threats in a more secure and structured manner. 

Also, its advanced malware detection technique helped strengthen the IT system's security and permanently remove any threat entrant from the system.

Through ThreatCloud, it helps in the identification and correct detection of potential malware entry into the cloud server and also provides immediate auto-remediation upon detection of any threat attack on the server.

It is one of the best security solutions in the market today. We highly recommend it to everyone.

What is most valuable?

The ThreatCloud is an amazing feature and helps in intelligent and proactive detection of threat attacks along with auto-remediation of the system.

The industry cloud and integration services with alert notifications are some really exciting features that helped in achieving flexible and strengthened security administration.

It addresses zero-day threats and next-gen viral threat attacks on the system and also has strengthened the security administration through a single management console.

What needs improvement?

The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent.

Competition is huge and is strongly advised to keep innovating the features and utilities so that it stands out in comparison to its competition in the market.

They need to have an extension of the trial period/trial version so that more startups and small, marginal, and medium enterprises can also be part of this without any hesitation.

Filters websites well, has good phishing protection, and is reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint."
  • "I came to the realization that this was the best solution for the need and the budget I had available and it hasn't disappointed me since."
  • "Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats."
  • "We've noticed that the management console has some limitations as it's managed through the browser."

What is our primary use case?

I wanted to protect my system from threats as sensitive business information was being stored in it, understanding that keeping the hardware in a secure location won't be enough measure to protect all the data in it. I went over different options in the market as Kaspersky Lab, ESET, Symantec, and Check Point of course, and spoke to a representative and did my own investigations. I came to the realization that this was the best solution for the need and the budget I had available and it hasn't disappointed me since.

How has it helped my organization?

Given the fact that threats are evolving every day, it is really important to have a solution that's ahead of transforming viruses that can leak in multiple forms and channels. Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint. It also provides email protection and detects threats in the public networks you're trying to connect your device to.

What is most valuable?

Phishing is an issue that is affecting a lot of businesses given the huge email traffic in businesses. Sometimes the server security firewalls won't detect threats from coming into the endpoints, so email protection is definitely one of them that's helpful. 

Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats. Even when you are on secure sites, you will see that, with Check Point, some ads and advertising will be blocked as they could be potential viruses.

What needs improvement?

We've noticed that the management console has some limitations as it's managed through the browser. Despite being user-friendly it could definitely include a wider range of security measurements that can make it more customizable depending on the end-user interests. If the end-user happens to want a Linux OS it can't access the smart console as it's .exe and only supported through Windows. This means they'll have to use a virtual PC to access the .exe which just makes it a bit of a hassle for these end-users.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for over seven years.

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

We did use Kaspersky and switched as there were security concerns around the privacy of the data.

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

Check Point's price point was right in the middle. It's not the cheapest and not the most expensive and offers a good cost/benefit ratio.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Kaspersky, ESET, Symantec, BitDefender, and McAfee.

What other advice do I have?

Overall I am very satisfied.

  • "We'd like the solution to kindly start this service offering on SaaS and PaaS models also."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is impressive and highly scalable 

How are customer service and support?

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

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

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.

How was the initial setup?

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

What about the implementation team?

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

What was our ROI?

We've seen an ROI of almost 30%.

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

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great security and mobile device encryption and is easy to manage
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to scale as needed."
  • "The solution is easy to use and easy to manage."
  • "We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."

What is our primary use case?

From my point of view, the use cases involved strategy and business opportunities.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use and easy to manage.

The security in regards to phishing, viruses, and so on, is very powerful. 

For mobile devices, encryption is excellent. 

From our point of view, Check Point is really easy to implement and really easy to manage. From the customer's point of view, the main reason was that the Check Point is the best brand, one of the best brands in our region. When they evaluate in comparison to competitors it comes out on top.

The solution is stable.

It's easy to scale as needed. 

Check Point Harmony covers everything.

What needs improvement?

We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved. 

As each project varies, anything that may be missing, in terms of features, would become obvious during a POC. Check Point has pretty much everything, however, it could be better in terms of working with Mac products. However, this is typical of other solutions and Apple. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I started working with the solution approximately one year ago. We implemented it primarily for the endpoints. 

A large company in our area opened the discussion about endpoint security. During the discussion, we looked at Check Point products as our company at this moment was a distributor for Check Point products.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is good. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Users can scale the product very easily. If you need more parts from the products added to the running environment, you can buy some more licensing. For the administrators, it is very easy to implement as scalability is one of the strongest parts of Check Point.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is very good from the vendor. We find that to be very important. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I can't speak to the details around deployment or implementation as I was in pre-sales. 

What about the implementation team?

We are able to implement the solution for our client. While we have four people involved in pre-sales activity, we have another team that handles the implementation.

What was our ROI?

Users can observe an ROI. We worked with the client for a very short time and therefore had no time to calculate the ROI, however, it is my understanding it is there and quite good. 

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

We had special licensing for a rather sizable project. The project was prepared by Check Point directly and the client had a special negotiated rate. 

What other advice do I have?

My previous company was a partner of Check Point. I no longer work there.

I was involved in pre-sales activities with the client who uses the product. We're a distributor of Check Point. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. We had some problems with implementations during proof of concept with a particular customer with a lot of Apple products, however, it is a small number of problems.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Good technical support with constant updating of the EDR and good overall security
Pros and Cons
  • "New viruses emerge day after day, and this EDR system helps action be taken before viruses affect the internal system."
  • "Our administrative processes have been protected by this great EDR system, and all the devices used in our company are monitored by a system that is responsible for eliminating threats before they react."
  • "Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Antivirus is being used with integrations in all our company software and also with connections to all the computers that we use in our work sectors. All areas of our company such as sales, marketing, or finance have Check Point Antivirus implemented. 

This antivirus is capable of monitoring the state of the network and knowing if there is any threat in our business network while being able to clean it up immediately. 

All departments within the company have been kept safe since day one of using Check Point. In order to connect all the computers and monitor them in real-time from the Check Point application, we use an app. From this app, you can see the status of all computers, restore them, and eliminate threats from a single panel.

How has it helped my organization?

Previously, we had trouble detecting data leaks and protecting the services we used in our business. Financial and marketing software services were the main affected areas. 

After the implementation of Check Point, our computers have remained connected to a secure network where threats are prevented from entering thanks to the EDR system, and systems have been restored to a stable state where there are no threats. 

We have kept our files safe and restored them to an original state before being affected by a threat thanks to the system recovery system. 

We are very grateful for the results obtained in recent years. Our computers (the main source of work) have remained secure. Our employees can manage online campaigns and control the flow of clients without fear of being affected by any threat; it has a system of anti-malware and anti-phishing to detect threats in time.

What is most valuable?

The main valuable feature of Check Point is the constant updating of the EDR database in order to detect new threats. 

This update system is responsible for inserting new viruses into a database so that it is easier to detect and eliminate them despite the fact that constant notifications are sent when the virus database is updated, I have no complaints about this feature as it has helped me to restrict the passage of new threats. 

New viruses emerge day after day, and this EDR system helps action be taken before viruses affect the internal system.

Another of the striking functions is that Check Point monitors the online activity of each user, ensuring that they do not access websites that have a suspicious encryption code or that have an unusual certificate; this has helped us to navigate calmly and detect pages that might put our work integrity at risk.

What needs improvement?

One of the features that should be improved in Check Point is when it comes to obtaining reports on computer behavior. Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices. I would like to obtain separate reports for each computer, to see the behavior of the threats and be able to take action in time. 

It does not need any other function, it is a fairly complete antivirus service that helps protect business networks on time.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for about two years. We did not expect such precise and potential results and our security service has been maintained in the long term thanks to this general security on all types of devices.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It turned out to be an antivirus that exceeded my expectations in the long run. 

During the use that we have had in these last two years, our computers have remained protected 24 hours a day and seven days a week. On some occasions, threats have entered our computers, however, the system restore system has counteracted this without any problem. 

It has been a stable antivirus, without any real problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The process of scaling, implementation and use went quite well; it took approximately two software engineers and three cyber security experts to successfully implement the service. They were in charge of configuring the real-time monitoring system for computers and updating the status of viruses.

How are customer service and support?

Customer service was satisfactory. 

During our implementation process, several questions arose about how the data leak detection system should be configured. All of these questions were answered immediately in a live chat with the Check Point team.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Previously, I used the Microsoft service, however, it was not able to protect all the threats trying to get into our business computers. 

One of the main reasons why I stopped using the Microsoft Antivirus service, is due to the fact that it was consuming a lot of resources on the computers while it was running and while the EDR database was being updated. This directly affects the experience of our employees on the computer and limited them at work. Since we implemented the Check Point service, the consumption of resources decreased on a large scale and we managed to obtain better analysis and virus detection.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up the system was somewhat complicated, requiring several of our engineers and cyber experts to successfully implement the antivirus service. 

The initial implementation took approximately one week to set up all the company's computers and synchronize them on the same protected network.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was done with an internal team in our company; there was no involvement of a vendor team.

What was our ROI?

Our return on investment has been the protection of the entire work structure, our administrative processes have been protected by this great EDR system, and all the devices used in our company are monitored by a system that is responsible for eliminating threats before they react. 

We are happy with the money spent on this great security software; our computers have been more protected.

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

I would recommend that you have a good amount of capital to access a considerably good protection plan from Check Point. 

Currently, the prices for installation and configuration are a bit high, and small or medium-sized companies could not afford these prices. 

You need a trained team to implement the Antivirus system as quickly as possible since it is a bit difficult to configure.

What other advice do I have?

In a solution that is undoubtedly worthwhile, it has a perfect methodology for finding viruses before they react to the computer's files. 

It has a very good interface, is easy to handle, and protects all kinds of services that are being used.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
