Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

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.

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.

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.

My company tried Check Point Harmony Endpoint with multiple clients, but unfortunately, we could not get many clients to use the product. Currently, my company has limited clients, like ten to fifteen customers who use Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

The valuable features of Check Point Harmony Endpoint stem from the fact that it serves as a comprehensive endpoint protection product that provides users with a fast solution and complete endpoint protection while serving as a tool that offers the fastest recovery for endpoints. The tool efficiently detects, protects, and corrects vulnerabilities and patches.

Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites. My company hasn't found any bugs or didn't find the solution to be complex. Features like zero phishing, sandboxing, threat emulation and extractions, malware detection, and EDR solution capabilities need to be included in the product. My company expects more granular EDR functionalities in Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for six months. My company has a partnership with Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a solution used by the company's clients who operate small and medium-sized businesses.

I rate the technical support an eight and a half out of ten.

Positive

I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine out of ten.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed within two hours.

During the deployment process of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, my company needs to install the initial client and select an agent from the settings on Windows Server, after which we need to push the solution to the client. Installing the initial client isn't something that is very easy. With all the features like signature-based detection, threat emulations, and sandboxing, users may need to be involved in the creation of a signature group.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a well-known solution among cybersecurity companies. With Check Point Harmony Endpoint, if my company gets good profit margins along with good opportunities, then we can penetrate into the market to sell it. My company expects support from Check Point, though we don't deal in many of its solutions.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

The company has a large number of users in different countries and they are constantly moving from place to place since some are dedicated to sales and must be traveling or connecting to different urban and private networks where they are located. Therefore, it was necessary to have a tool that would monitor, protect, and safeguard the security of the electronic devices that our employees use for their work every day. With this solution, we manage to minimize the security impact of our company and avoid future penetrations.

This solution helped us keep all our devices safe from the protection of cyber threats. 

It is a very reliable antivirus. It offers a wide range of security services from cyber threats such as viruses, malware, and ransomware. 

In addition, its database is in real-time. It has helped our organization achieve real-time analysis efficiency, which helps to be able to have all the devices centralized and, in this way, to be able to maintain an inventory of each of the devices separately. It helps us to comply with the regulations for our organization.

This tool has a very secure and efficient centralized management. This helped us to be able to have multiple devices and systems in a centralized control panel and to be able to track them. This is very valuable for administration and supervision. 

Another characteristic is the number of detailed reports and analyses of all the incidents that occur in our network. 

The compliance with regulations capabilities with, for example, HIPAA and GDRP, has also helped us a lot since we constantly have internal and external audits, and it has helped us a lot to comply with the requirements we have.

Like any service, they have some deficiencies where they must improve or add some features.

They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems.

They must add more techniques for detecting threats and thus reducing false positives. 

They need to integrate with third-party devices such as SIEMs.

They could improve the interface so is more intuitive and easier to manage since it is very static.

This solution was implemented four years ago.

It is very stable and is an efficient security tool.

It has very good scalability and is very efficient.

They should improve the support; it is very slow and sometimes not very efficient.

Positive

We previously had an antivirus. However, it was not good at providing adequate performance and protection.

The supplier helped us a lot with the installation; the agents are easy to install.

The suppliers helped us install the console; the other agent installations were done internally.

It is a tool that is worth the investment in since it covers a lot of security.

The licensing all depends on the partner and where you buy it. The installation went very well for us, and the cost was optimal.

Many tools were evaluated such as Sophos, Avast, and Norton Antivirus, among others.

It is an excellent excellent tool. It is very good on the market and valuable.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint Detection and Response is a very useful tool in combating vulnerabilities and threat actors. We have rolled it out across the business to all systems in our estate. 

It is very easy to perform vulnerability scans, view present vulnerabilities, and understand the ratings applied by the software. This allows us to focus on which areas are most at risk across the company. 

It was easy to install the agents to our physical and cloud devices and enabled targeted response to zero days.

As an IT infrastructure and security team we are now able to prioritize and target specific, higher-risk vulnerabilities, making our environment more secure. 

The ratings allow us to get a feel for the urgency of a vulnerability and apply it to our use case. We are also able to mitigate lower-priority vulnerabilities with suggested fixes and can add exemptions for false positives or acceptable risks. 

We are able to report current cyber security posture to the board and we are able to assign remediation tasks to team members. 

Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business.  

We have found the combination of vulnerability scanning, rating, and remediation most valuable in the platform and the feature is vital to our everyday security hardening. 

We can effectively target vulnerabilities with suggested fixes and automate patches where relevant. 

There is a constant flow of newly added features and improved functionality is regularly made available by the Check Point team. 

Customer communication around zero days and other emerging threats is a great addition to the service.  

There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium. 

The support is limited at times and can be quite slow, you are often directed to articles in the support center to read solutions for yourself. As a result, a lot of time has been spent reading Check Point articles on the online platform to increase knowledge around the product and further cyber security awareness in the team. It would be good to have a more direct route to remote support and demonstration.  

We have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for around one year within our company. 

We have had very few, if any, stability issues with the solution.

We previously used Rapid7. It was costly and had limited agent scanning timescales.

The setup is nice and straightforward with a lot of hand-holding from the team.

We would try to add exceptions for false positives or mitigate threats earlier to clean up the experience.

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.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint should probably support more in Linux as well.

I have been working with Check Point Harmony Endpoint for one and a half years.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a scalable solution.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor. Since it is growing, the solution gives better prices than any other in the market.

It is easy to integrate Check Point Harmony Endpoint with other vendors.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is easy to implement. I recommend Check Point Harmony Endpoint to other users.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a good product. Check Point Harmony Endpoint and SentinelOne are the only two products that can compete in the endpoint space.

Majorly, we push Check Point Harmony Endpoint to our customers. Other than Check Point, if something comes up, we go with SentinelOne. We only sell CrowdStrike when the customer asks for it. We position Check Point Harmony Endpoint and SentinelOne depending on the customer's requirement.

Sentinel One has a bit better breach prevention rate. If a customer needs a consolidated security solution and anti-ransomware protection with ransomware 2.0, then Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the best solution over SentinelOne.

Overall, I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint ten out of ten.

There are many factors that make Check Point Harmony Endpoint as the main solution for our end-to-end system and data security of the organization. 

The primary use case of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, in our case, is to monitor every node against viruses and digital vulnerabilities, which keeps a 24/7 check over the happenings and keep us alerted against any unforeseen. 

The most important benefit of this solution has a single agent for security purposes and offers great stability during any heavy performance activity.

It has improved the overall security of our organizational digital well-being and made things and monitoring processes a lot easier and more straightforward. 

Integration with third-party servers and data endpoints and 24/7 background security checks are very useful for us and has been very instrumental phenomena in keeping things simple and secure for us. 

It has the ability to configure with any type of system and operating environment, which is great and makes it a more useful product for multiple business entities.

Overall, my experience with the product is great, and it's a perfect endpoint solution for multiple purposes. 

The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks. 

The user interface of reporting dashboard needs to improve for a better understanding of the end users and the administrators. 

The pricing of Check Point Harmony Endpoint can also be reduced. They are quite expensive at the moment. 

I've used the solution for two years.

We found it to be 99% stable and smoothly runs in the background.

It is a scalable solution and everything can be easily monitored, and data can be maintained.

Customer service is great and always helping us with quick solutions.

Positive

It was straightforward to set up and deployed over the cloud.

We implemented the solution via in-house teams.

We've witnessed a positive ROI.

It is a great cost with high-end Check Point features within reasonable cost brackets. You must try it.

Overall this is a great solution with a lot of benefits and ease of use.
