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.

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI
I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine 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

"One of the best features that Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers is its ability to stop attacks before they can cause damage in our environment, and it has integrated Threat Emulation, which is sandboxing, and Threat Extraction technology that neutralizes threats embedded in documents or email attachments."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"Security has improved after we started using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and we can manage all the systems and machines through a centralized portal called Check Point Infinity portal."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"Endpoint protection is valuable. Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving our security posture, especially for remote and hybrid users."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
 

Cons

"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"More granular reporting and dashboards for EDR solutions could be beneficial, as could enhanced third-party integrations for additional threat intelligence that can be integrated into the system."
"One challenge with Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that it has a higher cost."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"They could have more reports."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"The price is good."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
