Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security is its most valuable feature."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"It offers a centralized administration which allows us to be much more productive."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"The best feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the advanced threat detection, which provides 100% detection and shows strong performance against sophisticated attack techniques."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by helping to reduce incidents by catching threats early before users even noticed them, which saved us time and lowered risk across the board."
"The remote support is good."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"It is very difficult to get ahead of what's coming in terms of new threats, however, I think that Check Point Antivirus must improve against zero-day attacks."
"We need the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony."
"Sometimes the antivirus updates fail. We don't understand why because sometimes it fails but the next time you try it goes well and the firewall always has access to the internet. We don't understand why it sometimes fails."
"Support needs improvement."
"While the platform is powerful, the user interface of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be more intuitive for non-technical users."
"We would like to have the ability to stop and restart the service remotely, which is something that we can do easily with Symantec but have a hard time with when using Check Point."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"I want the command to be quicker."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"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 pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"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."
"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."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"The price is good."
"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
