Network Administrator at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Moderately priced, easy to configure, and good support
Pros and Cons
- "Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
- "Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation."
What is our primary use case?
Check Point Antivirus Blade is enabled on all of our HA clusters throughout the world. The primary use case for this product is to protect our end-users while working physically in the office or remotely. It monitors all traffic in and out of the organization to detect known threats such as malware. Functionality is limited without HTTPS inspection as the blade will just look at SRC/DST traffic rather than be able to do packet inspections on actual traffic. It is great that it is included in the base FW license.
How has it helped my organization?
Check Point Antivirus has improved our organization by being able to identify known threats and actively drop connections to ensure our users remain secure. It leverages the Bogus DNS endpoint from Check Point to redirect traffic destined for known threats and doesn't require a lot of admin overhead to configure or tune based on the organization's needs. An added bonus is Check Points "Threat Cloud" which all of its gateways talk to so that attacks that are detected in one customer's environment are updated and would be blocked automatically within another environment.
What is most valuable?
Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure. We enable the blade in the SMS for the gateway and that's pretty much it. You can get into the nitty gritty and fine-tune some of the settings to fit your organization better than the default settings, however, personally, I have yet to do this and it is working as expected in my organization. It is also great that this is not an add-on license and is included with the low-tier licensing which helps to reduce the overall cost to the organization while increasing the value of the product.
What needs improvement?
Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation. I have had a few times where something was detected as being a false positive and TAC requested so much information that in all honesty, was not worth my time to collect as the URL being blocked was a simple webpage that, based on my analysis, the IP was previously being used for malicious intent and was now a legitimate business however was still being blocked by the blade.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not had any performance issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to scale and enable on SGs as long as they are managed by the same SMS.
How are customer service and support?
Support has improved over the years.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
No previous solution was utilized. This solution has been in place on the SGs since they were installed.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is straightforward. It is enabled from the SMS and it works.
What about the implementation team?
We managed the setup of the solution in-house.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is revealed by the fact that it protects end-users.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Check Point in general is moderately priced compared to competitors.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Palo Alto and Fortigate.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

It has an inbuilt AI system that helps in diffusing the virus in a proactive manner and protects the system from getting damaged at the worst level.
The pricing is also quite affordable for marginal organizations as well, and their improved efficiency is great. Signing and renewing of MoUs were not difficult at all. They are a good stakeholder to work with.
What needs improvement?

A thoroughly informed buyer can make a decision in a sound manner which creates a win-win situation for both Check Point and the client.

How has it helped my organization?
It has been used for a banking environment and helps us to secure our end computing where USB blocking and even disk encryption and so many features have been bundled together.
Securing our data was critical. It helps a lot and gives control to end users while they connect through the VPN. Secure VPN connectivity is important. It helps us to avoid any kind of risk when users are at home.
It helped us a lot during the first phase of the Covid lockdown, which revealed the benefits of this product.
What is most valuable?
I loved almost all the features.
The zero-day threat prevention is excellent. It gives us more confidence to have automated protection from unknown threats.
It helps to secure our browsing. It can check if something is a genuine page or not. It also masks when we browse or enter our banking user ID and password. This gives us assurance that we are in a green and safe zone.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too - as we had a container kind of product under MDM. This can give us more confidence that when on the go, a user still has full access to our important and crucial data. They should be fearless while accessing this through our VPN tunnel.
Mobile handsets are now used for 40% of work to send mail or forward any kind of document. Securing users on mobile will give more confidence to users and higher authorities that will sometimes need to have access outside of the office for doing their financial or confidential transactions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for more than four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?

What is most valuable?
The high malware catchment rate is great and really commendable. The software is equipped with scanning all kinds of sources, email servers, and cloud servers for their endpoint threat and immediately diffuses and eliminates the threat source and threat points.

The other features, like real-time endpoint detection, help us with 24/7 scanning and monitoring of the system for ransomware, and can immediately remove them permanently.
What needs improvement?
Everything is just great about the software. That said, a certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours. Small, marginal, and medium enterprises could also use a reduced subscription model so as not to pose much burden on budgets.
Also, the cybersecurity trend is quite dynamic and changes every now and then. It would be really great if continuous upgrades and orientation and training on upgrades could be proactively arranged and organized by concerned officials from time to time.

The primary use case of Check Point Antivirus is to protect our machines and data from viruses and to clean our systems from all malware to ensure the security of our data and servers from external threats and invasions.
We have configured Check Point antivirus with all our machines, servers, and databases as a security solution against real-time virus threats that may harm our systems.

There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes. It doesn't cover some of the applications and operating systems like macOS and SAP cloud products.
Another issue I can recall is the fake threat calls and removal of safe applications (assuming them to be viruses and malware), which is sometimes annoying. The overall product features and functions are reliable and have everything covered otherwise and I consider it to be the best antivirus solution.
