The product offers complete protection of the system from hijackers, and no phishing activity is allowed under any circumstance. It is high-grade protection with strict system security.

While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments. It is highly advisable to create multiple child logins to operate the running of the software across multiple interfaces in one go without any trouble. Also, it is advised to incorporate the features like round-the-clock, 24/7/365 scanning of the system in the background without disturbing the routine front-end work.

The setup is streamlined and easy.

We used a vendor team to assist with the initial setup. 

The ROI is good compared to other security software options.

Check Point Antivirus brings trust, scalability, and advanced security solution features. It is easy to integrate and use across different business environments. The cost is significantly low presently, and utilities are wonderful and worth trying. The licensing and renewal process is also smooth and not complex at all. 

We looked into McAfee, Avast, Norton, and Bitdefender as well. 

Try the solution and experience the best features on your own.

Our company is a global software product company with a lot of users all around the world. With Check Point Antivirus, we can protect our users' machines and securely connect to a network.

We also automate the installation of antivirus software to all our client machines by using Check Point. It is very good.

The customer support feedback from the Check Point engineer
is very good and makes us feel more confident in the cybersecurity world.

With Check Point Antivirus, we can ensure our user's machine is protected and securely connected to the network. This will improve the security of the internal and external network.

It has prevented ransomware. 

I like the key logging and keyboard detection features.

The following is a list of the valuable features:

• Good price
• Best virus database
• It isolates the infected machine.                                                                 

Improvements it should make: 

• Need more document
• Need faster customer support
• The price can be better                                                                                  

I have used this software for more than five years.

The stability is really good.

The scalability is good.

The initial setup was easy.

We have seen good ROI.

It would be better if we could get a better price. 

We also looked at Avast Antivirus.

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. 

We use Check Point Antivirus to protect our company's perimeter. Specifically, we implement antivirus measures solely on the perimeter firewall. This strategy safeguards the company, especially considering the files accessed by employees. Check Point Antivirus shields us from malware and viruses.

Check Point detects files containing malware, which some users are trying to download or access. Additionally, it can consolidate multiple emails into one.

Check Point is easy to configure, and it detects many threats.

The antivirus could be improved in terms of the resources it consumes, particularly regarding CPU and memory usage. We've encountered issues with some of our firewalls, leading us to turn off the antivirus feature due to its heavy resource consumption. Enhancing its performance would allow us to run it on smaller models without overburdening the CPU.

While it is a valuable security feature, Check Point should ensure that the hardware is properly dimensioned to support the antivirus feature, providing some margin for potential resource demands. The values provided in the specifications should be realistic and adequate to support the feature effectively on the Check Point firewall.

I have been using Check Point Antivirus for ten years.

Sometimes, Check Point Antivirus raises connection issues even when the license is valid. Consequently, we encounter difficulties installing the antivirus on various devices. Moreover, the solution isn't always stable. Occasionally, update failures occur without apparent reason, necessitating the need to open a support case.

One thousand users, including the financial, IT, and HR teams, are utilizing this solution, essentially encompassing all departments in their company, as everyone uses the internet. From our experience, it's very resource-intensive and not one of our most scalable features. As I mentioned, sometimes we encounter CPU logs on some firewalls, often related to the antivirus. Therefore, sometimes, we need to turn it off or adjust its settings.

I rate the solution's scalability as seven out of ten.

The solution should have better support from more knowledgeable engineers when opening a case rather than starting with junior engineers and escalating after one or two weeks.

Neutral

Once the security gateway is up and running, you simply navigate to the features section, ensure you have the appropriate license, and enable the antivirus feature. Then, you can select one of the recommended profiles. Once you've chosen the profile, you're all set.

It takes one day to deploy if you have already added the firewall.

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

We have the license for all the other FortiGate, which comes with the IPS and antivirus. However, you need to pay for the antivirus separately. In terms of cost, it is slightly more expensive than Fortinet.

Check Point Antivirus has helped us protect our company's security exposure. It has already detected some files that, if successfully downloaded, could pose a significant problem.

However, it consumes a lot of resources. Enabling antivirus on the Check Point firewall is one of the most resource-intensive processes you can allow, even more so than the IPS.

We requested that antivirus be enabled on three of our firewalls because the CPU usage was consistently 90%. Testing this feature has shown that some improvements in performance should reduce resource consumption.

We enable Check Point's default recommended profile. Preset profiles are already available; we choose one to help without configuring our own.

I would recommend improving the performance to reduce resource consumption and enhance stability.

In terms of security, Check Point Antivirus is practical and improves our company's security posture.

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

We use the product at the perimeter. Since we do not have a branch, only one area is protected by the solution. The networks we have are in a compact area.

I love the product’s flexibility. We can manage the blade without changing the protocols. It is easy to manage how the tool runs the network. The product is easy to deploy. It’s a good firewall. It supports most of our OS, such as Linux and Windows. We can use it even on mobile devices. The browser and data protection are good. The solution has good threat intelligence features.

The network monitoring features must be improved. If my ISP says that they gave me 300 Mbps, I would like to see where the network is used the most and where we are underutilizing it. I need features to monitor the bandwidth. I want features to monitor the upload and download speeds.

I have been using the solution for the last three years.

The technical support is good. I was working on some backups of a hospital management system to the cloud. Check Point provided us with very good support.

Positive

The pricing is very high. The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years.

I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

We primarily use it to provide security solutions for small to medium-sized companies with ten to fifty employees.

The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR. These functionalities are crucial because they specifically target the most common attack vectors, such as email phishing and downloading unknown software. EDR provides a solution for monitoring and responding to these threats effectively. Additionally, MDR ensures round-the-clock monitoring by skilled personnel from Check Point's team. They promptly alert us to any significant events, allowing us to take necessary actions swiftly.

Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification. Notification integration primarily relies on software, which is not commonly used by most small companies. Additionally, the setup process within the dashboard is overly complex, with numerous checkboxes and options that necessitate at least a week of training to comprehend fully. Simplifying this process through a wizard or a more intuitive interface would greatly benefit smaller companies.

I have been working with it for several months.

It provides outstanding reliability. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Scalability is a challenge due to the need for different appliances to accommodate varying user counts and traffic levels. When businesses experience growth or sudden increases in users, acquiring and deploying new appliance packages can be cumbersome. Availability of stock and deployment timelines vary, sometimes resulting in delays of days or even weeks to implement new hardware appliances. I would rate it six out of ten. We serve approximately five or six customers, with the largest having around fifty endpoints, which is considered small to medium-sized in scale.

The technical support provided is excellent, earning a rating of ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was complex, with a rating of three out of ten in terms of difficulty. Implementing the entire solution, covering everything from networking to setting up Office 365, proved to be intricate and challenging.

The deployment time varies depending on the complexity of the case. For simple installations, we estimate approximately one week for completion. However, for more intricate setups involving thorough configuration and fine-tuning, the timeframe extends to three to four weeks. Our deployment process begins with in-depth analysis and discussions with the customer to understand their specific needs and infrastructure, including any special features they utilize, such as on-premise email with Exchange. We initially deploy a standard version with a standardized setup, followed by a review period to assess its effectiveness. Subsequently, we fine-tune the configuration based on feedback and requirements, which typically takes about a week. Finally, we roll out the refined setup to endpoints, servers, and other relevant components.

In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point. However, the price is justified considering the robust features it offers. I would rate it nine out of ten. They provide fixed packages based on the number of users.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

The solution is used for port protection and media encryption.

Our customers are satisfied with the Harmony environment. The remote support is good. If the users forget their passwords, the remote support helps them reset the password. It is a good feature. We only need an internet connection for it.

The heartbeat interval must be improved. Sometimes, when we change the policy in the console, it does not reflect in the endpoint. Sometimes, we find it difficult to change the policy. The tool lags sometimes.

When we change the user password in the Infinity Portal, the password does not sync on time. There is a one-minute heartbeat interval from the server to the console. We have a graphical UI in threat hunting in which we can see the attacks. If audit logs have a similar graphical UI, it will be easier to analyze the logs.

I have been using the solution for seven months.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability and integrity are above average. I rate the scalability an eight or nine out of ten. We have deployed the product for 500 endpoints. We have deployed it on 300 to 400 endpoint machines in other places.

Initially, we had some issues installing the agent on the endpoint machines. We didn't know the prerequisites of the endpoint machines. We had blue screen and red screen issues. It was new for us, and we were stuck. The support was very helpful. The team identified the issue and asked us to update Windows. We had to have the recommended version of Windows for deploying the agent. Now, we do not face any issues. If we face any problems, we easily recognize the issue. We are a bit autonomous.

Neutral

The initial deployment was very challenging because I was new to the product. Later on, I got used to it. It was very easy. I ensured everything was according to the customers’ requirements. It took hardly two weeks to deploy.

The pricing is reasonable. It is very good for security. We are focused on security. If the security is strong, we do not mind the price. The customers blindly trust the product.

Our customers were using Trend Micro.

We haven’t deployed the antivirus yet. We’re trying to implement AV on Windows. Currently, AV is deployed on a Linux machine. When I implemented it, I didn't have any idea about the product. I just went through some documents. People who want to use the solution must go through the documents and understand the concepts. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
