Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

Check Point Antivirus helps us to protect our networks and systems against computer threats such as viruses, spyware, malware, and online attacks. It helped us greatly improve the security perimeter with its advanced features, such as intrusion prevention, threat detection, and access control, which help to protect sensitive data and company information. It's helped us shrink all the security gaps and is an excellent tool for protecting all the endpoints of an organization. If the company must be audited, it helps a lot to meet many of the compliance requirements.

Check Point Antivirus helped us to improve in several ways. It offers advanced features such as data protection. With it, we were able to protect sensitive and confidential company data from online threats and external attacks. 

We also achieved intrusion prevention using intrusion detection to prevent attacks on the company network. 

With Check Point, we can implement security measures to control access to the network and systems, which helps prevent unauthorized access.

With its various features, we can enable business continuity with adequate protection while minimizing risks in operations.

Some of the Check Point Antivirus features that users may find valuable include:

The firewall helps provide protection to block unauthorized access to the network.

Intrusion prevention prevents attacks on the company network and helps companies to comply with regulatory requirements related to data protection.

It has a wide range of features that help make this tool one of the best on the market.

As with any tool, improvements can be made. Some improvements that would be useful include:

• An updated user interface to improve it to make it easier to use.
• Integration with other security tools. We'd like to see better integration with other security tools.
• They should incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning 
• Performance could be better to reduce the impact on system resources as it consumes a lot of resources from some endpoints.

The solution was implemented approximately five years ago.

The tool was designed to be highly stable with regular software updates and proactive monitoring.

It is a highly scalable tool that has centralized management, automatic updates, and load-balancing capabilities. 

They must improve support and customer service by improving response times and their SLA.

Positive

Previously, we only used an antivirus on the devices. After migrating our platform to the cloud, we needed a more robust tool and chose Check Point. 

The installation of the product is complex if you do not have any previous knowledge. Once that learning curve is overcome, the administration and configuration become easy.

The implementation was done in conjunction with an engineer from the provider and the IT department.

It is always good to generate an implementation plan for the acquisition and company requirements to make the best purchase decision and to gain a quick return.

The price and licenses will depend on the features and functions that need to be implemented, as well as the number of devices needed. It is easy to install, however, you must have prior knowledge of the product.

We evaluated several solutions on the market that met the characteristics and requirements that we needed. Some were:

• McAfee Endpoint Security
• Trend Micro OfficeScan
• Sophos Endpoint Protection

It is always important to do a cost analysis and check requirements before making a decision.

Check Point Antivirus has proven to be a savior. It helps in protecting our computers and other e-devices at endpoints from malicious ransomware, etc. 

It actively eliminates malware and protects the system from any potential damage. 

It is well-performing antivirus software that is absolutely different from traditional threat-combating antivirus tools. 

Conventional antivirus software is often not upgraded enough to fight advanced threats. Check Point Antivirus's performance efficiency is quite good and is highly recommended by peers.

Check Point Antivirus is an advanced antivirus software with high-performance efficiency and is continuously improvising its features and version to have better security enhancements at the end. 

They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability. It comes quite highly recommended. Everyone recommends it. 

Our organization used to spend a lot on data and system security. The cost of security was increasingly becoming relatively high and unmanageable. Our peers recommended trying the Check Point Solution, which felt great after using it. It is worth having this security software for businesses!

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. It helps us to improve security scanning and also leads to endpoint management throughout. 

The software provides advanced security features like signature-based malware detection, which is widely used by organizations for scanning their code management and securing their code system end to end.

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. 

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.

It's been one year now since I've been using the solution.

It is a very stable software.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We started using Check Point. An earlier in-house-based local solution was used as an antivirus before that.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through the vendor only.

The ROI looks promising.

The setup cost is significantly lower for Check Point Antivirus. Its pricing is low compared to the majority of the competitors. Licensing is smooth and easy.

We evaluated McAfee, Trend Security, etc., before finalizing the usage of Check Point Antivirus.

It's a must-have security solution for all businesses and professionals as it is an advanced security solution with enough capabilities to improve cybersecurity enhancement for businesses. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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

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

The solution offers very good scalability.

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

Positive

We used ESET, which was not satisfying.

It was straightforward.

We implemented through a local implementor.

The protection it gives to the clients is priceless.

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

We evalute the Fortinet solution.

It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware, benefiting both new and old customers.

When using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, performance issues may occur, although not necessarily a ransomware attack. The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance.

We have partnered with Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

We have 25 endpoints using this solution.

Email support works fine, but it needs to be on the phone.

Positive

The deployment is not complex if you have to manage it. The installation can be done directly if the customer has a good knowledge of Microsoft systems. However, we have to install it manually, which can be difficult, especially when replacing all the old agents.

If the customer doesn't have an IP directory, we only put one person in it. We are deploying up to 1500 endpoints with only one person, maybe in two weeks. If the customer doesn't have an active directory and has 100-200 endpoints to install, we normally have to use three security engineers.

I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

We have a particular case where today's endpoint provides complete security against ransomware. It runs effectively from work. It is about eighty to ninety percent effective.

The pricing is high because we lost several customers to Trend Micro and Symantec. Latin America and Columbia particularly have high prices. It was probably fifty percent more.

As a partner, Check Point provides us with the best protection. We can also arrange a demo or discussion to showcase the protection features and advantages to our customers.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for our desktops, laptops, servers, and selective mobile devices. It offers real-time protection against malware and other malicious threats is superb. 

Our previously used antivirus has not been able to identify certain threats. Check Point Harmony did it. That is a key highlight of this product. Check Point Harmony Endpoint includes a firewall component that allows us to enforce network security policies at the endpoint level, including application control, network segmentation, VPN enforcement, etc.

We can now see the performance of the computers. Previously, we used some other applications where we could see the CPU percentage go increasingly high. Compared to that, this solution is good. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint helps us ensure endpoint compliance with security policies and regulatory requirements by enforcing configuration settings. 

Moreover, It provides visibility into endpoint activities and enables security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents in real-time. So business progress never gets disturbed. 

It monitors endpoint behavior in real-time to identify and block suspicious activities indicative of malware or malicious behavior. This proactive approach helps us a lot. 

It employs sandboxing technology to execute suspicious files in a controlled environment and analyze their behavior. This allows it to identify and block malware that may evade traditional detection methods by remaining dormant or obfuscated. 

More importantly, it is easy to install from the cloud. 

Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats. 

Enhancements in compliance management and reporting capabilities could help organizations meet regulatory requirements more effectively and streamline audit processes. 

Continuously updating and enriching threat intelligence feeds and research capabilities can improve threat detection and prevention accuracy and effectiveness.

I've used the solution for over a year.

Check Point is a well established cybersecurity vendor with a long history of developing and maintaining security solutions. Harmony Endpoint benefits from this experience and is built on a solid foundation of technology and best practices. That i believe. 

The centralized management console enables efficient management of endpoint security across the entire organization, irrespective of its size. Administrators can easily configure policies, deploy updates, and monitor endpoint activities from a single interface, streamlining management at scale.

Customer service should be improved. 

Positive

Check Point Harmony has fould a suspicious file that the previous application did not discover (that file was in the system for a period as alogic bomps).

The initial setup was straightforward and easy.

We handled the setup in-house.

We've noted ROI in Risk Reduction and have noted:

• Productivity gains
• Compliance cost reduction
• Operational efficiency
• Security consolidation
• Incident response cost reduction

Compared to other service providers, the price is a bit high. That said, it is worth the price. 

We did evaluate McAfee and Norton. 

The solution is good, hence I'm more concerned about the pricing. It would be good if that can be been reduced. 

The solution helps to protect our networks. 

Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network.

The product streamlines security operations in our IT environment through its single configuration point, making it easy to configure all available blades. Monitoring, extracting logs from, and integrating with our Active Directory are also easy.

All of the features work in tandem for effective malware prevention.
We are quite satisfied with Check Point Antivirus, as it offers leading-edge features that other companies may not have. Despite the higher price, we carefully selected the product based on its feature set.

The sandbox technology is very useful. It operates offline in the cloud and facilitates easy replication. The tool works with our Ubiquiti switches and Active Directory.

The product should improve its pricing. 

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

I think we will reach a limit once we get more traffic. But we don't expect that to happen on our current network. However, we would have to move to the next version regarding scalability. They have different tiers in their models with different performance levels. So we pitch in regards to current plus fifty percent. If we exceed that, we must go to the next level and buy the next product. My company has 150-200 users. I operate this with a team of two people. One is a primary, and the other is a secondary. It's extensively used, and we're always configuring and tuning it.

We're paying for premium support, but it's worth its weight in gold because they are very quick. They understand things easily and come back to you with solutions very quickly. They reply quickly and know their stuff, which makes them easy to work with. They help us when we have problems and ensure they understand what we need.

The setup of Check Point Antivirus can be straightforward or complex, depending on your familiarity with the product. Once you're familiar with it, the interface is easy to configure.

The deployment process was quick for us. We configured it using configuration files. We completed the configuration within four days, including a trial version over one weekend and production the following weekend.

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

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

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. My advice is that you get what you pay for. While it may cost more, Check Point Antivirus offers a fully mature, professional-grade product. This means you can trust that it's doing its job of securing our network. With Check Point Antivirus, you have peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong, support is available.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The stability is the best in the marketplace.

The scalability is the best in the marketplace.

Their technical support is the best in the marketplace.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

The initial setup is straightforward.

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

The ROI witnessed is the best in the marketplace.

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

We did not evaluate other options.

Our primary use case is to protect endpoints.

The most valuable is encryption. 

We have some issues with encryption. The main issue is the red screen of death. Basically, it happened in previous versions of Check Point with encryption. When you install updates, not a specific update, but some Windows updates, the computer gets stuck. And it doesn't start. We were able to contact Check Point, and as a solution, they always say to use the latest version, but we are not happy with that solution. For us, it's not like a solution. 

Mostly, we work with the latest version. But that doesn't guarantee reliability.

It has another issue that we have at Check Point. Check Point has an antivirus with a Sandbox function. When you try to download some files, the sandbox gets confused with the sandblast. And sometimes you have to wait. 

So, there is room for improvement in terms of updates and with Sandbox and Sandblast. 

Another area of improvement is support. We faced some issues because of the language barrier. 

In future releases, I would like to see a nice feature in terms of encryption. When you want to decrypt a drive, it should be a little bit more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for three years. 

There is room for improvement in stability. The solution could be more stable. 

It is a scalable solution. We have around 150 end users using this solution in our organization. 

The customer service and support are really good. For basic support, it's good. But when you want expert support, it's not that good.

For basic support, you can talk to a person and understand the basics. I don't know if it's a language or a barrier issue or not. For example, you have an issue with your computer. When you call a call center, the first thing they would say is, "Turn it off and turn it on," or something like that. So, in that sense, they don't have problems. But when you want a more expert solution, like, "I'm having a problem with this specific update, and this happens. So, this sandbox issue, and this happens." They don't put you right away in contact with the experts. You have to insist a lot; at least, that was my experience.

Neutral

I have worked with WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus. 

The initial setup is very easy. It was very quick; it took around five minutes. 

We deployed the solution ourselves. It is on the cloud, but the installations are made on-premises.

The solution was a little bit expensive at the beginning, but that's not Check Point's fault. It's an issue with the taxes. When you buy a product, they have a lot of taxes. So, it becomes expensive. But they actually made very good pricing. WatchGuard also gives good prices.

We have a yearly base license. The support is included in the license costs. 

First of all, be aware of the issues like the technical support. The solution is good. The product is good, but I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It is not a ten because of the support. But if it weren't for that, it's a very, very good solution.
