Featured Reviews

Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has improved the detection of malware."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"We can map the MITRE attack framework along with the Cyber Kill Chain completely."
"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"It is easy to manage."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"We can scale the solution."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"The pricing is decent."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"I would like to see more automation."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"It's not a simple implementation."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"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 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."
"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."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"The solution is too pricey."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
