Good user management and command control features
There is always room for improvement. One thing that would be helpful is if it was easier to define which commands can be used. Currently, we use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management. It can be a bit more difficult if we're not using our own script. We have a script that checks the day from the AD group to see if any users have certain privileges, and we execute it to make any necessary changes. We've automated the process by creating our own script. We run it four times a day. In the future release, I would like to see it easier to configure without adding all the scripts. It would be helpful if it had a user-friendly manual that allows you to change things easily. It would make BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management a lot easier to use.

Ease of installation with fair pricing and good product documentation
We required a product recognized for its brand visibility and achievements in cybersecurity at a global level. Check Point was perfectly suited and we decided to use it effectively for our endpoint devices that are corporate property. In this way, we have avoided daily threats on devices with a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is good."
"It's relatively straightforward to set up, especially if you are deploying to the cloud."
"Reduces major vulnerabilities by removing local administrator privileges."
"One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD."
"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management."
"What I liked about this solution is that it can also integrate for tracking malicious use or sending analytics to a host that can process them. I don't know if CyberArk, Centrify, or Thycotic can do that. The analytics was something the client really wanted, and they already had BeyondTrust. It is very scalable. The agent on the workstation is very thin, and the processing power required on a server is nothing out of the ordinary. It is also very stable and easy to deploy."
"It is straightforward. It is a good technology, and it is made to do one single thing."
"Check Point Antivirus goes in-depth and looks for threats and malware - including phishing attempts."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Check Point Antivirus automatically fixes pop-up ads and can effortlessly detect all kinds of threats while working in the background."
"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."
"What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a strong tool for preventing malicious traffic and threats from entering the environment."
"We like the sandbox feature."
"It is one of the fastest malware prevention software with advanced upgrades to have 360-degree threat detection and system remediation."
"Check Point detects files containing malware, which some users are trying to download or access. Additionally, it can consolidate multiple emails into one."
 

Cons

"The product should improve its price."
"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"Their technical support could be more responsive and helpful."
"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."
"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"Reports to the end user."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"Check Point services and antivirus solutions can improve their customer offerings by offering various discounts in their subscription model and they can also reconsider their pricing model as well."
"Overall I didn't personally face any issues while implementing Check Point Antivirus."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"The next release can focus more on timely upgrades to enhance computing compatibility."
"Reporting and management could be improved."
"We'd like them to include more learning-type notifications to users when detecting any eventuality or attack on their computers in order to educate them and teach them about this type of incident."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"Price-wise, it is very competitive. In our area, government entities and banks don't go for the monthly payment. It is a headache even for us in terms of finance and procurement to go for monthly payments. Quarterly might be more logical and reasonable, but the minimum that we go for is one year, and sometimes, we even try to compile and give one offering for three years."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is 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."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"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."
