Sooraj Makkancherrry - PeerSpot reviewer
Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.
Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"The most important characteristic of our requirements was the implementation of disk encryption."
"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"The insight and visibility of the detection is good."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"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."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."

"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."

"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"

"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."

"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"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."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
