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.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."

"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."

"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."

"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."

"It is easy to install from the cloud."

"The solution does a pretty good job and is easy to use. I am the person maintaining the tool and only one person is required to maintain it. Their configuration portal is user-friendly and anyone can crack it with a little bit of knowledge."

"Check Point detects files containing malware, which some users are trying to download or access. Additionally, it can consolidate multiple emails into one."

"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

Cons

"I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. They should also consider the price so that many people will go for the solution."

"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."

"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."

"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."

"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."

"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."

"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."

"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

"The implementation is not easy."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"They should improve their user interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."

"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."

"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."

"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."

"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."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."

"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."

"The price is good."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The product is very expensive."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
