Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security

There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

A highly stable solution that protects computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers

ZoneAlarm doesn't require much maintenance. You only need to update the application when there are any latest updates. ZoneAlarm is deployed on-cloud in our organization. With an increase in the bring your own device concept, ZoneAlarm should be part of every device to help us make the operational work very easy. Overall, I rate ZoneAlarm 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

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

"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."

"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."

"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."

"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."

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

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."

"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."

"It is quick and easy to configure."

"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."

"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."

"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."

"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."

"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."

More ZoneAlarm pros

Cons

"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."

"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."

"The integration challenges with Check Point Harmony Endpoint involve needing support with other third-party applications that I wish it worked with more seamlessly."

"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."

"While using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I find that the initial deployment can be a bit complex, especially for large or distributed environments, requiring proper planning and familiarity with the Check Point ecosystem."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint poses a steep learning curve and has high resource consumption, requiring high-performance PCs on our endpoint site."

"They could improve memory consumption."

"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"The support is not always so effective."

"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."

"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."

"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."

"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."

"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."

More ZoneAlarm cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."

"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 is cost effective."

"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."

"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's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."

"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
