Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency
I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.

A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

Pros

"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"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 dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"In my experience with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the best features it offers are forensics and incident analysis, which have helped us, and among them, anti-phishing is one of the most used features."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
 

Cons

"While using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I find that the initial deployment can be a bit complex, especially for large or distributed environments, requiring proper planning and familiarity with the Check Point ecosystem."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"I would like to see more automation."
"One challenge with Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that it has a higher cost."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"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."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"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."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"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 tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."

"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
