What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for over a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
Customer service should be improved.

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).
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward and easy.
What about the implementation team?
We handled the setup in-house.
What was our ROI?
We've noted ROI in Risk Reduction and have noted:
- Productivity gains
- Compliance cost reduction
- Operational efficiency
- Security consolidation
- Incident response cost reduction
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Compared to other service providers, the price is a bit high. That said, it is worth the price.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did evaluate McAfee and Norton.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is good, hence I'm more concerned about the pricing. It would be good if that can be been reduced.
