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.

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

"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."
"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
 

Cons

"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"The price is good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
