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.

Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources
Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."
"It is a very reliable antivirus."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
 

Cons

"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"The management console could be made more intuitive and user-friendly, with simplified navigation and clearer visualizations of threat data and security statuses. Improve the performance impact on systems, especially for older hardware."
"The integration challenges with Check Point Harmony Endpoint involve needing support with other third-party applications that I wish it worked with more seamlessly."
"Need more documentation."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"It is expensive."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
