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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good threat intelligence features."

"They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability."

"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."

"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."

"We have found the stability to be very reliable."

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

"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."

"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

Cons

"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."

"One area that requires improvement is the amount of audit logs the system can save, as it is currently limited to fourteen days."

"We'd like the solution to kindly start this service offering on SaaS and PaaS models also."

"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."

"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."

"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."

"Support needs improvement. Currently, support is primarily via email, which leads to longer response times."

"We would like to see the URL filtering functionality improved in this solution, so that we can exclude domains, rather than just single site URL's."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."

"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."

"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."

"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."

"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."

"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."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The price is comparable."

"The product has average pricing."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
