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

"Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted my organization by saving me a lot of time and providing threat protection from mobile devices."

"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."

"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."

"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."

"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."

"Check Point integrates well with other security products."

"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."

"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

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

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

"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."

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

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"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."

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons

"Technical support could be better."

"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."

"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."

"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."

"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."

"It may be interesting to improve this solution against zero-day attacks, as they happen very frequently and are clearly a severe threat."

"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."

"I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

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

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

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

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"They should improve their user interface."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."

"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."

"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."

"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."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."

"The pricing is reasonable."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The product is very expensive."
