Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Immediate results in patching promptly address vulnerabilities
When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task. It would be easier if Tanium provided the patches directly. Some other brands provide the patch with a direct download link, which facilitates the process. Also, I feel that if there were more detailed documents and remediations readily available online for troubleshooting, especially more up-to-date information, it would be beneficial. Currently, some resources online are very out-of-date.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."
"It gets regular updates of newly found threat signatures which keeps it updated."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"The real-time threat detection in Check Point Harmony Endpoint helped us catch a ransomware attack early; a user downloaded a file from a spoofed site, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately flagged it, quarantined the file, and alerted our support team, preventing the malware from spreading and saving us from a large downtime."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving our security posture, especially for remote and hybrid users."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
 

Cons

"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"I would like to be able to see this integration of device analysis and verification - not just in native-integrated solutions - for Linux and iOS mobile devices, which are today a part of the larger group of devices and solutions that we have available."
"Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."
"They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."
"They could improve the UI."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too pricey."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"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."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"The solution offers value for money."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
