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.

Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency
I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"Since I started using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, about 95% of our emails are now secured because of this product."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
 

Cons

"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"While using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I find that the initial deployment can be a bit complex, especially for large or distributed environments, requiring proper planning and familiarity with the Check Point ecosystem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"The price is good."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"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."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
