An endpoint security solution with ransomware protection and EDR
Pros and Cons
    • "If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution for endpoint security.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution provides endpoint security, ransomware protection, endpoint detection, and response. Also, cloud-based management is a good feature with an excellent catch rate.

    What needs improvement?

    If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use. Most of them will shut down, but it works well with the detection so far. The solution can reduce the impact of the endpoints.

    The performance impact should be improved. Also, the tool should have the ability to search for files. It could make on-premise deployment easier. They might have blocked ports and the control makes it more difficult. They can make implementation much easier even with what they have.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint as a reseller for three to four years.

    Excellent anti-ransomware, anti-bot and anti-exploit features
    Pros and Cons
    • "It has improved the detection of malware."
    • "Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."

    What is our primary use case?

    The first use case is to detect malware as well as advanced threat protection for known, unknown, and zero-day malware, sandbox emulation and extraction, and enhanced by automated endpoint forensics analysis. 

    Zero-day attacks are a risk for the company which seemed very important to us, plus the sandbox in the cloud. We have a cloud console that is easy to use and easy to monitor.

    The details of our environment are Harmony Endpoint Advanced for 100 on-premise users with cloud managment console, and support for one year.

    How has it helped my organization?

    It has improved the detection of malware. We are very satisfied with the friendly and easy-to-monitor console. We chose the advanced version as it seemed very important to have advanced threat protection for known, unknown, and zero-day malware plus sandbox emulation and extraction, enhanced by automated endpoint forensics analysis.

    At the moment we are very satisfied and confident with Check Point.

    What is most valuable?

    All of these features quoted below are valuable for us, as the set of solutions is what makes the solution really valuable. 

    • Endpoint Threat Prevention features
    • Web Protection (malicious sites/URL Filtering)
    • Anti-Ransomware
    • Anti-Bot
    • Anti-Exploit
    • NGAV
    • Anti-Virus
    • Forensic collection and automated reports
    • Threat Hunting
    • Sandbox Emulation and Extraction (CDR)
    • Endpoint Access Control Features
    • Endpoint Firewall
    • Application Control
    • Port Protection
    • Endpoint Compliance
    • Remote Access VPN

    If we had to choose one, we really like the EDR included.

    What needs improvement?

    The Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a very complete solution. Even in the most basic version, it already includes EDR, which today is very important and something that all endpoint solutions should consider having from the most basic versions. We would like to have one more step and that's to give and have full-disk encryption.

    Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle. We could have it with Check Point Endpoint, mobile, cloud, or firewall. An all-in-one console would be great.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for six months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability has been positive.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability has been positive.

    How are customer service and support?

    We did not have any problems. We got good solution training

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

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

    We did not previously use the solution.

    What about the implementation team?

    We had a positive experience with the implementation via a vendor. 

    What was our ROI?

    Our ROI has been positive.

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

    If you need the on-premise management console, you have to pay an additional cost. It's not much, however, it's good to ask for a quote.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We also looked into Sophos.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    Easy to use with good application control and great endpoint protection
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
    • "Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."

    What is our primary use case?

    We primarily use the solution for protecting our endpoints from malware. We've provided features to group the endpoints and apply specific policies by including or excluding them in a certain policy group. 

    It's great for endpoint security and protection. We are using the VPN feature as well to connect to the corporate network of our organization, which is a good feature. It's used for scanning malware and other malicious files on endpoints which greatly enhances our security posture for endpoints, including Windows and Macs and other operating systems as well. 

    How has it helped my organization?

    Check Point Harmony Endpoint benefits a lot to organizations by providing endpoint protection. There is centralized management through the Harmony portal, which is really nice. 

    It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors. 

    Daily signatures updates are really good and helpful in protecting against zero day vulnerabilities and exploits. 

    The firewall and application control greatly improves our security posture. End users are unable to install any suspicious or malicious apps in our environment. 

    What is most valuable?

    The sandblast agent, policies implementation, and logs are quite valuable aspects of the solution. 

    Threat emulation and anti-exploits are great features to protect the endpoints. 

    The remote access VPN within the endpoint agent is quite easy to set up and use. 

    The Harmony portal allows us to do a single sign-on using our active directory which makes the life of admins easy. 

    Harmony Endpoint scans all website before opening and also scans fields on the website that protects from XSS and CSRF attacks which is really an advanced level feature. 

    The endpoint scanning tools are quite enhanced and detect most malicious files. 

    What needs improvement?

    Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved. 

    There should be an easy option for the administrator to turn off or disable malware protection on a specific asset or computer instead of adding a specific asset in a Disable group as that will make it easy for the admin to disable if and when required for some testing purpose. I would like this feature to be added. 

    Logs searching also needs to be more quick and enhanced and more metadata should be stored in the logs for Endpoint for a better view for admins. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for two years.

    Effective zero phishing and sandboxing, but support needs improvement
    Pros and Cons
    • "I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
    • "The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."

    What is most valuable?

    I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective.

    What needs improvement?

    The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved.

    In a future release, the solution could add more threat intelligence features.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for approximately three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is approximately 80 percent stable. It can have some bugs at times and can show very unexpected behaviors.

    How are customer service and support?

    The support could improve, there are long wait times, and the agents are not properly trained. The troubleshooting is complex.

    How was the initial setup?

    There are a lot of complications in the implementation. There are a few bugs and there is not enough documentation.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product.

    I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a six out of ten.

    Great for securing endpoints with good anti-malware and port protection
    Pros and Cons
    • "It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
    • "Tech Support must be better."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use it for multiple purposes. It's for securing the endpoints. We have about 200 endpoints added to this solution and being maintained. Its server is cloud-based and here our in-house IT team takes care of the installation and configuration on endpoints. We are required to secure our endpoint from any external attacks. It's also well controlled so that only required access is to be given to end-users. Whether it's about blocking unwanted websites or port blocking, we use the solution to manage everything.

    What is most valuable?

    The anti-malware and port protection, etc., are good. We have about 200 endpoints on this solution being maintained. We like that its server is cloud-based and that our in-house IT team can handle the installation and configuration on endpoints. It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks. We can control access to end-users. 

    What needs improvement?

    Tech Support must be better. Whenever we log a case for any issue it takes too much time to get it sorted. There should be escalation by default. If the case is not being sorted quickly, it must get internally escalated to the team who are experts and they should be empowered to jump in to get the issue fixed. Many times, we have to be on it for weeks to come to a proper resolution. 

    Website blocking and endpoint levels are still a challenge and there needs to be a more sophisticated solution. We are looking forward to having this product work more efficiently.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using Harmony Endpoint for over six Months.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Tech Support needs improvement.

    Is easy to deploy, cost effective, stable, scalable, and more secure
    Pros and Cons
    • "Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
    • "Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."

    What is our primary use case?

    Check Point Harmony Endpoint is antimalware and antivirus software, and it also has features such as in firewall autoresponse and autonotification, autoprotection, definition updates, and policies that we can apply.

    We have medium-sized companies who use this solution.

    What is most valuable?

    My customers choose Check Point Harmony Endpoint because deployment is easier and because it's cost effective and more secure.

    It is also a stable and scalable solution.

    What needs improvement?

    Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time. The technical team or any product team should liaise with us and help to deploy the solution to the first few customers so that we can roll out to the rest of the customers.

    They need to improve the licensing process as well so that it is easier for the end user. At present, we have to wait one to two weeks to get a license, which is not productive. The process is not very smooth or convenient for the end user because Check Point Harmony Endpoint provides two login portals. One is for licensing, and the other is for management.

    In the future, I would like to the management portal and the licensing portal be integrated or changed to a single sign-on because that will be good for both the panel and the user. If they can make it very convenient for deployment and monitoring, it would be good.

    If we could get technical support in Singapore, then it will be helpful for our customers.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been dealing with this solution for two months.

    It's deployed both on cloud and on-premises.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The product is very stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    This solution is scalable. If you have a server or any software deployment tools, you can just push from the server so that the users don't even need to install it on their machines.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Technical support needs to improve. Their response time needs to improve too. Also, the only way to contact technical support is through email or international phone calls (for us in Singapore).

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is much easier compared to that of other solutions because it involves emailing and letting the agent download and then deploy the solution. It's lightweight, not using a lot of system resources compared to the rest of the products. It is the next generation of endpoint agents.

    The deployment itself can take a day.

    Maintenance is not required because it depends on the policy that you apply on the Check Point portal itself.

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

    Compared to the cost of other solutions, Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective. The cost is not very cheap, but it's fair.

    The licensing process is not smooth and can take one to two weeks.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend this solution because the protection works well, and it is cost is effective.

    They also have cloud-based management, so it is like a SaaS service, and we don't need to buy a server to host it and to implement any hardware just for running the management of Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

    On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at eight.

    Useful EDR tool, integrates well, and effortless implementation
    Pros and Cons
    • "The technical support is good."
    • "The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."

    What is our primary use case?

    The organization I work for is a bank and we use the solution to protect against malware and viruses.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable features in this solution are the EDR tool and the integration.

    What needs improvement?

    The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the solution for one year.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution has been working well and we plan to scale the solution to our 300 agents. We have clients that are small to large size businesses using the solution.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    The technical support is good.

    I would rate the technical support of Check Point Harmony Endpoint a nine out of ten.

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation is easy.

    What about the implementation team?

    We have four engineers handling the deployment and maintence of a large company we are involved with.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We have evaluated Palo Alto, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky in the past. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I recommend this solution to others. It is easy to implement.

    I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a ten out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises
