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

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

Pros

"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"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 easy to deploy."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"Security has improved after we started using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and we can manage all the systems and machines through a centralized portal called Check Point Infinity portal."
"It features strong AI-based threat prevention and security management, making it a solid choice for end users."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"The solution offers multiple features in one solution, along with data detection."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
 

Cons

"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The stability could be improved."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"More applications should be supported."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"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."
"When there are many devices, it is more costly since each device requires unique login credentials."
"The technical support could be improved."
"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"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."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"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."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
