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.

Cross-platform capability enhances security integration
The single agent, combined with the EDR system, delivers additional information and data for the EDR. Regarding the use cases, or maybe it fits better into another question about the motivation of the customers, I can see two approaches. The first approach is where the customer has an existing EDR system running, and their contract comes to an end. They are looking to either prolong it, renew it, continue with the current system, or look for something cheaper or better. When they reevaluate the contract, it's a sales approach to suggest that for a similar amount of money, not very much more, they can get something much better. It's not only a plain EDR or plain antivirus system - it's antivirus plus EDR. The difference in price is not much. Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers. Having one system for all platforms is essential. This has helped in two ways. The majority of customers want one thing for all, however, some customers definitely want two systems, servers separated from workstations. I have a big data center for banks, and they separate Windows Servers from Linux Servers. It is important for them to have two different systems. By providing this multi-operating system capability, I have engaged with customers via the Linux servers because the Windows servers are handled differently, so they were looking for a second different system, which opened the door for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"Thanks to Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the threat was immediately detected and contained before it could spread or compromise any data."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"During a ransomware attack that targeted several laptops, Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately isolated the affected device and blocked the malicious process before it could spread."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint provides greater security as it is impacting positively and has reduced incidents and saved many malicious threats since implementation."
"They have pretty much everything you can ask for as far as features are concerned. That is because they know their market. They are focused on what they do and they do only that."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"The solution does a pretty good job and is easy to use. I am the person maintaining the tool and only one person is required to maintain it. Their configuration portal is user-friendly and anyone can crack it with a little bit of knowledge."
"The tool's detection range works fine. Its most valuable features are its ease of employment and lightweightness. It's not heavy on resources. We focus on malware and ransomware detection."
"I would rate the overall product as an eight out of ten."
"Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
 

Cons

"The pricing for Check Point Antivirus is a bit higher compared to other vendors or standalone antivirus options, and my request to the company is to consider reducing the licensing costs."
"Technical support could be better."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved as I dislike the management interface because it's not intuitive, it lacks real-time reporting without configuring smart events, and it made administration less efficient."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"The solution could improve VPN functionality and the VPN user-interface."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"I have been told several times that the stability of the sensor, not the back end, is an issue."
"I have been told several times that the stability of the sensor, not the back end, is an issue."
"Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus is not available in the local language, which can be inconvenient."
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"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 cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"The price is good."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten. Its pricing is justified."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
