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?

CEO at JL Real Estate
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?

Comprehensive feature set and has good integration with other tools
Pros and Cons
- "A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
- "The set of features is quite comprehensive."
- "Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
- "Pattern-based security is not the latest architecture and it is insufficient because every day, there are approximately 380,000 new vulnerabilities and threats."
What is our primary use case?
Our SOC team uses this solution to observe any unusual behavior or processes running on the endpoint. For example, it is used for phishing detection.
The data is ingested to Splunk.
How has it helped my organization?
One of the problems with assessing this type of product is that you don't always know when it's working. You will see when something is wrong, where no threat has been detected. If nothing has happened then you don't know if there was no threat, or instead, the protection was quite good. Also, if no threat is found then it may be that the solution is not good enough to detect these types of malicious activities.
What is most valuable?
The set of features is quite comprehensive.
The Endpoint security solution integrates with the Check Point firewall services, so it's a combined approach to security.
A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it.
What needs improvement?
Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved. Pattern-based security is not the latest architecture and it is insufficient because every day, there are approximately 380,000 new vulnerabilities and threats. Using patterns is difficult because the threats can hide.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint since I joined the company, several months ago. The company has been using it for longer.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
From a stability perspective, I can say that we have had absolutely no problems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not experienced any issues with scalability. We have more than 10,000 users in the company. The users are across a variety of roles. It's used by everybody. As our company grows, the usage also increases.
At this point, there is nowhere we can extend its usage.
How are customer service and support?
I do not have personal experience with technical support so I can't assess them. However, I have heard that it is quite reasonable, so I think that it's fine.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
I am building my own opinion of which is better, between the Check Point product and the Microsoft product. Depending on where you do your research, you get different opinions, although much of that is supplier-driven.
In my former organization, I was using CrowdStrike. It has much better performance when looking only at processes.
How was the initial setup?
I was not part of the implementation because it was in place when I joined the company.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have done research on several similar products to try and determine the best-in-class.
What other advice do I have?
From my point of view, I can't see that any features are missing. My primary complaint is that it relies on patterns for threat detection. It does the job, we get our logs, and we get the relevant warnings. Overall, it's a good product.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Protects against malware, phishing, DDoS and MITM attacks
Pros and Cons
- "SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
- "So far, our security has been 100 percent, we have not felt that a data breach has happened, so we are pretty happy with SandBlast Agent."
- "It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms."
- "It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment."
What is our primary use case?
Our use case for SandBlast Agent is that our team is set up in multiple geographies, such as, India, Sri Lanka, UK, North America, and Australia (where we have a bit of business). We have courses for an educational client which need go to market, schools, instructors for hire, and students. Given that there was COVID-19 and a lockdown, there was an increase in the digital demand for learning courses. So, we wanted to secure our courses from cyber attacks. Thus, we wanted an end-to-end security system in place that would prevent/save us from cyber attacks and protect our sensitive data.
Systems can be accessed on multiple devices, whether they be laptops, Macs, Windows, or mobile devices. Those devices could be connected to a home or public network on a platform, like a Chrome browser, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari. We have been able to track this through reports by seeing how vulnerable those agents are to attacks. Then, we determine how they can become more secure, so we can stay on the cloud and mobile devices. These are the areas where we are trying to use their reports and tighten our security, putting more systems in place to prevent attacks.
How has it helped my organization?
Cognizant had a malware attack recently, as the threat of cyber attacks has increased, and a lot of customer data was compromised. However, because this Check Point SandBlast technology was there in place, we were able to thwart the cyber attacks that were attempted. Most of the time, these attacks are college kids trying to do some phishing attacks or look into sensitive data. With SandBlast, it is possible to identify those attacks at the very source, preventing those attacks and keeping us secure.
Going forward, we are planning to extend it to authors and professors who are helping us author our content. For example, if there is an author who will be taking help from various professors in university or instructors in schools, then they will need to get their inputs. What happens is they expose their course to those authors on their networks, devices, laptops, mobiles, or tablets. They access the course through an application. Now, those authors and professors don't have an app login because they might be a third-party vendor. So, we are trying to have the SandBlast Mobile version on this site as well, based on the impressive performance of SandBlast, so our data remains secure and more users are able to utilize our systems and access our data. This will make it more valuable for our end users.
On the coverage part, there are malware, phishing, operating system exploitations, denial-of-service attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM), so we have classified the attacks that can happen on a learning, educational system, like ours into five to six categories. With SandBlast Agent deployed in the cloud, we have good coverage to cover these attacks, as it is very extensive. The best part is (through our reports) we were able to identify the type of attacks. So far, our security has been 100 percent. We have not felt that a data breach has happened, so we are pretty happy with SandBlast Agent.
What is most valuable?
SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth.
We set up reports, which were weekly or biweekly. Then, our admins, who are mainly working with SandBlast Agent, were able to look at daily reports or even more granular reports, hourly or daily, based on their customizations.
The automated part keeps it running in the background. It only gives us notifications when there have been major attempts to breach data. We also have reports that show logs for what external, unauthorized systems tried to access the data. Through those reports, which are automated in the background, we are able to do what we want in order to keep our systems secure. We feel the automation part is pretty good with this application.
What needs improvement?
It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for six to eight months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The SandBlast Agent is stable. Our users can work on a laptop, remote device, or tablet with this app running in the background. If an attack event is triggered, then the user and administrator both get alerts. The impact of this application running in the background on the battery life or on any other application is negligible; the battery performance is not impacted. It is such a digital world. Users are always now online and on social media, so they need to feel that their personal data is also not compromised.
Our key 15 users maintain the solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have around 15 key users, but it is being used to monitor over 1,000 users across the globe. We are planning to scale it up to 1,500 users/authors in North America alone for Q4. We have also certain authors who are coming up in Sri Lanka and Australia.
We are looking to scale this up on mobile devices and tablets. We want to see how the performance will be there. With portable devices, people are sitting in a Starbucks, cafeteria, or in a public area, and we want to see how the security is established on a public network. So far, we have seen that it has been quite good during these COVID lockdowns. People who have been working from home have it also installed on shared networks with two neighbors or a group of people, which is prone to attacks. So far, it has been good, but we want to see the performance when we roll out to more users.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We had a legacy system in place before using SandBlast Agent. The features, efficiency, and our pre-existing relationship with Check Point drove us to going with SandBlast Agent.
How was the initial setup?
When we were working with their team, it was easy to go ahead with the setup. However, once we started doing it for our users on our own, we found it to be a little complex and needed more help. So, we came back to the SandBlast support team for help.
When we had to do a second deployment, including the next 10 members from the team of 15, we found that the documentation for the initial setup wasn't thorough. Our team had to reach out to the customer support, and they were good. However, from a deployment point of view, a little more documentation would have been helpful.
The deployment took approximately three months.
Our deployment strategy was that we wanted to be digital and do things on the cloud.
What about the implementation team?
We worked with the SandBlast team for deployment and that was completed in under three months. We had our initial trial period for two weeks. We had a team of four to five members who worked with the SandBlast teams from a deployment point of view. Everything went pretty smoothly.
Our experience with the Check Point support team was pretty good. They were able to help us with the deployment and integration for collaboration apps, like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Jira. They also were able to help us with internal apps. So, they were able to help us with all those integration points, which was really helpful.
The staff involved was four to five members. However, we felt that if the SandBlast team was onboard, then we didn't need that many people. We could do the deployment with two members from our side and somebody helping from the SandBlast side.
What was our ROI?
If we have to look in terms of qualitative value, there has been good ROI. That is why we are planning to go ahead with the scaling of bringing more users onboard and having our security being taken care by SandBlast.
The solution has reduced the number of security analysts we have needed, enabling them to work on things they didn’t have time for before. From the automated reports point of view, we always used to feel that for whatever legacy system that we had in place we had to do more work to capture the area we wanted in our reports. With SandBlast Agent, we are able to do that through automated reports and its inbuilt functionality for reporting.
Due to a combination of factors, we now have three security analysts instead of six. So, we are almost down to 50 percent of team strength from the point when we started using SandBlast Agent. We have been able to cut down the cost after starting to use this platform.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing.
On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did explore one more option, which was an offering from Microsoft. The features, efficiency, price point, and pre-existing relationship that we had with Check Point made us go with SandBlast Agent.
Some of SandBlast's features include ease of deployment on cloud and mobile device coverage, which is our future coverage area. We found that it gave us good operational efficiency on mobile devices. It runs in the background, providing coverage for various parameters in the logs and triggering alerts to users and administration only when there is an attack. Otherwise, it is able to block the attack, URL, or user in the background before notifying them. These are some of the features that stood out and differentiated it from Microsoft Windows Defender.
What other advice do I have?
In this digital ecosystem, we need to secure our data at every moment and have something in place, like SandBlast, to keep our networks scanned at each moment. You never know where the next attack is coming from: malware, phishing, denial-of-service attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, etc. Therefore, we need to be on the lookout for these type of attacks and any other unauthorized URLs trying to get into our systems to access data for any purpose.
Have a system in place to keep your data secure. You should definitely give SandBlast Agent a try. It is worth it. The solution is very secure and has very impressive features.
I would rate this solution as an eight out of 10. We are very impressed and happy with the features, its stability, reports, and the parameters covered in the reports.

Smarter Endpoint Security – Powered by Harmony
Pros and Cons
- "We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
- "Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
What is our primary use case?
Check Point Harmony Mobile was provided through an installed agent which has very light protection against malware and ransomware, among others.
In our country, many ransomware threats have been generated at the country level, for which it was worrying that we had kidnapping or encryption of our data. At the management level, the request was given to provide additional security to protect us. The tool has been very good.
We tested this Check Point tool to assess the performance of our endpoints, and shield them safely while increasing the protection of our platforms.
How has it helped my organization?
Our company was looking to strengthen endpoint security with an additional layer of protection. Since we already manage various Check Point solutions across our infrastructure — with consistently positive results — we decided to evaluate Harmony Endpoint as part of our strategy.
After thorough validation, Harmony Endpoint has proven to be highly effective in safeguarding our endpoint devices. It’s been running smoothly, and the performance has met our expectations.
We’ve observed detailed reports of attempted attacks, and thanks to the platform’s visibility and control, we’ve been able to respond quickly and mitigate vulnerabilities. The presence of malware in our environment has significantly decreased.
Overall, Harmony Endpoint offers strong features and reliable protection, making it a valuable component of our security ecosystem.
What is most valuable?
The characteristic that most attracts our attention is the administration portal. It doesn't require a management server since its licensing and management are through the Check Point Infinity Portal. It is very intuitive and easy to implement.
The way in which the agent is installed on the computers is very easy, it does not consume almost any performance of the server or final computers, in this way there is no need to worry about increasing resources to be able to protect them with Check Point Harmony Endpoint.
We love the reports and monitoring they provide. It helps us quickly see what vulnerabilities we have on our endpoints.
What needs improvement?
We have few disadvantages or improvement points. However, the Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance. It is a small detail. However, it could be improved.
On the other hand, it is also essential that the manufacturer improves the public documentation so that users can better understand how it can be implemented with best practices.
Finally, at the support level, we believe that Check Point can improve. Sometimes the answers are provided at dawn, which makes it more challenging to solve.
For how long have I used the solution?
We’ve been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for over three years now, and the results have consistently exceeded our expectations. From day one, it’s provided solid endpoint protection across our organization, adapting seamlessly as our infrastructure evolved.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
yes
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
yes
How are customer service and support?
Very Good Experience
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously we only had or used Microsoft's antivirus or endpoint, however, we had all non-centralized security. Through this tool, we can centralize everything in the Infinity Check Point Portal.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing is per endpoint, which is why we think is good. The cost is competitive, and its features are very good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We validated several manufacturers, however, we did not want to have separate solutions. It seems to us a better option to have only Check Point.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend this security tool, it is always important to test the tool at the test level to decide if it is what you are looking for.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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?

Offers broader visibility in the environment
Pros and Cons
- "The insight and visibility of the detection is good."
- "The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved."
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case for Check Point Harmony EDR would be to get broader visibility in the environment. For instance, a pre-detection was done by Check Point Harmony when there was an attack happening. It pre-detected and remediated immediately before it got spread in the environment. The best part is the system was not in the office network but still got detected and remediated automatically.
What is most valuable?
The insight and visibility of the detection is good.
What needs improvement?
As such there is nothing I can think of additional features.
The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have using Harmony for the past two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability is impressive.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is good.
How are customer service and support?
Support is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The setup was straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation happened in-house team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing and costs are good.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
