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

"A very good and robust antivirus solution."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has significantly strengthened the defense against malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats, and the unified agent ensures consistent protection across all endpoints."
"My customers choose Check Point Harmony Endpoint because deployment is easier and because it's cost effective and more secure."
"This solution helps make sure that we can patch and keep security going without having to talk to everyone for change management."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"The solution offers multiple features in one solution, along with data detection."
"Check Point Antivirus is valuable due to its autonomous threat prevention system, which is consistently up-to-date and highly reliable with excellent performance at scale."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing successful malware and ransomware incidents, giving us much fewer infections to deal with, and it has also freed up security team time by catching threats automatically, allowing us to focus more on proactive tasks than on cleanup tasks, which is the main improvement for our team."
"Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers."
"I would rate the overall product as an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"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."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved because sometimes the agent feels heavy, causing slowness in our PC, so that can be improved."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"The price is good."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten. Its pricing is justified."
