Support at a security firm with 51-200 employees
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

"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."
"When we provision new laptops for remote employees, Check Point Harmony Endpoint automatically applies our security configurations the moment the device connects to the network, which includes anti-ransomware protections, firewall rules, and web filtering."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"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."
"Heuristic detection scans for suspicious characteristics that can be found in unknown, new viruses and modified versions of known viruses."
"The platform works on its own and it does not need to have an assigned employee to monitor how it's working, thus bringing efficiency into our company."
"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."
"I would rate the overall product as an eight out of ten."
"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

"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"It took me time to learn how to configure endpoint security."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"While the platform is powerful, the user interface of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be more intuitive for non-technical users."
"I choose nine out of ten because apart from the licensing cost, everything is great."
"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

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
