Check Point Antivirus Reviews

We use the antivirus for FTP email scanning, attachment scanning, FTP download, HTTP download, and HTTPS download with SSL and inspection. It is also used in conjunction with the firewall gateway and security gateway.

The most valuable features include scanning, sandbox features, and antivirus reporting. The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent.

More applications should be supported. For example, the ability to detect viruses or scan attachments within applications like Skype or similar applications could be improved.

We have been using the solution for 15 years.

The customer service and support are rated highly. The overall rating for support was 9.5 out of ten.

Positive

We used Symantec and ESET before switching to Check Point Antivirus. We switched due to its detection capabilities and the high reputation of Check Point for preventing breaches and antivirus protection. Symantec's performance had issues with heavy CPU and memory usage.

The initial setup could be rated as seven or eight out of ten. For those with experience on the Check Point platform, it's easy to set up. 

However, for new administrators, the setup can be confusing because it uses a separate part of the panel and offers an option for legacy setup, which opens the old Check Point Smart dashboard.

One person handled the deployment in-house.

On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest, Check Point Antivirus is rated as one, making it the most affordable among antivirus products.

We used and evaluated Symantec, ESET, Fortinet, Cisco, and Palo Alto before switching to Check Point Antivirus.

I would definitely recommend Check Point Antivirus to others. The product is very effective and performs well without causing any significant hit on CPU or memory.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is to protect our company's LAN network from malware and viruses.

We have configured and deployed the Checkpoint NGFW and this is the security feature of Check Point.

With the help of Check Point Antivirus, we keep our company's LAN and DC network safe from malware and viruses. With this solution, our network has not been affected to date.

The most valuable feature of Check Point antivirus is that it scans every file type for malware and viruses.     

Also, it gets regular updates of newly found threat signatures which keeps it updated. 

As of now, there are not any lack of features. 

I have been using this security feature of Check Point for the last year.

The stability is excellent.

The scalability is good.

My experience with customer service and support has been excellent.

Positive

We have been using Check Point antivirus only. We just upgraded the Check Point NGFW model.

The initial setup was simple.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team.

In terms of cost, everything is perfect.

No, we haven't evaluated other options.

As a manufacturing firm, we deal with many vendors and customers via online portals and websites. Our users surf the internet a lot. Check Point Antivirus scans and blocks malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, and ransomware. This helps prevent infections and limit the spread of malicious software within the network. It also performs real-time scanning of files and email attachments to detect and block malicious content before it reaches the end user.

Implementing Checkpoint Antivirus has significantly improved our manufacturing company’s security posture and operational efficiency. By providing robust protection against malware and other cyber threats, we have minimized the risk of production downtime caused by cyber-attacks. On the other hand, This comprehensive security solution has not only enhanced our overall cybersecurity but has also instilled greater confidence in our stakeholders, knowing that our manufacturing processes and data are well protected.

Real-time scanning is a valuable asset for our organization. Real-time scanning and behavioral analysis have ensured that both our proprietary manufacturing processes and sensitive data remain secure, preventing potential breaches that could disrupt operations or lead to intellectual property theft. The centralized management of security policies across all endpoints has streamlined our IT operations, allowing our IT team to efficiently monitor and respond to security incidents from a single dashboard

The management console could be made more intuitive and user-friendly, with simplified navigation and clearer visualizations of threat data and security statuses. Improve the performance impact on systems, especially for older hardware. 

Ensuring that real-time scanning does not significantly slow down user machines would enhance overall productivity. Work on reducing the rate of false positives, which can disrupt operations and lead to unnecessary administrative overhead. As an additional feature, Integrate user behavior analytics to detect unusual patterns that could indicate insider threats or compromised accounts.

I have been using Check Point Antivirus for more than two years. 

The solution consistently delivers reliable performance with minimal downtime, ensuring continuous protection without disrupting business operations.

Check Point Antivirus has strong scalability, making it highly suitable for organizations of various sizes, including large manufacturing companies. Its centralized management console allows administrators to efficiently manage and enforce security policies across numerous endpoints.

Customer Service should be improved.

Previously I was using Avast antivirus. We switched because we had many security issues. It was not meeting our requirements. 

The setup is very easy.

We implemented it through the vendor. I would rate the experience an eight out of 10

The comprehensive protection against malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats has drastically reduced the risk of costly production downtimes and data breaches, which in turn has saved the company substantial potential losses.

The setup cost is low but licensing is high. It's worth the cost.

We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection.

Check Point Antivirus provides limited iOS protection and is unusable with free VPN services, which are required for professionals.

Check Point Antivirus' major area of improvement needs to be in the
internet connection. Updates need to be made in the system and 
we need immediate access to the updated to be protected against the latest antivirus against malware and viruses.  

It does not have compatibility with the Windows XP Firewall, which needs to be fixed.

I have been in an integration with Check Point Antivirus for the last year.

I did not previously use a different solution. I switched to Checkpoint antivirus due to system and data security concerns.

I have used this software for more than five years.

The stability is really good.

The scalability is good.

The initial setup was easy.

We have seen good ROI.

It would be better if we could get a better price. 

We also looked at Avast Antivirus.

In our corporate environment, the primary use case for Check Point Antivirus is to provide robust endpoint antivirus protection. 

Our organization operates within a complex digital ecosystem, and ensuring the security of our network and devices is of utmost importance. 

Check Point Antivirus serves as the frontline defense, guarding against a myriad of cyber threats that could compromise our sensitive data and operations. 

Our organization operates in a dynamic and interconnected digital landscape, and ensuring the security of our network and devices is paramount

Check Point has brought about tangible improvements within our organization. It has significantly bolstered our overall cybersecurity posture. 

We've witnessed a noticeable enhancement in our ability to detect and respond to threats promptly. 

This solution has reduced risks and vulnerabilities, contributing to a more secure and reliable digital environment for our company. 

However, it's worth noting that no antivirus solution is foolproof, and the effectiveness of our security measures also relies on user awareness and best practices.

Among the features offered by Check Point Antivirus, the real-time scanning and automatic updates stand out as the most valuable. Real-time scanning ensures that threats are detected as soon as they appear, minimizing the potential damage they can cause. Automatic updates, on the other hand, keep our antivirus protection up-to-date with the latest threat intelligence and security patches. These features combine to offer a proactive and effective defense against a constantly evolving threat landscape.

While we find Check Point Antivirus to be a powerful tool, there are areas where it could be improved. One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface. A more user-friendly and intuitive interface would make it easier for our security team to navigate and manage the solution efficiently. Additionally, improvements in reporting capabilities would enable us to better analyze security incidents and fine-tune our defenses.

Looking ahead to the next release of Check Point Antivirus, we hope to see advanced threat analytics as a part of the package. This would enable us to proactively identify emerging threats and vulnerabilities, allowing us to stay one step ahead of potential risks. 

Furthermore, greater customization options would be valuable, as they would allow us to tailor our security measures to the specific needs of our organization. In an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, these features would further empower us to protect our digital assets effectively.

We have been using this antivirus within our company for six to eight months now.

It is quite a stable product.

It is a scalable product across your enterprise and secures you from threats.

Sometimes there is a delay in customer support, however, the issue is resolved at the end.

Positive

We've used Sophos previously, however, it made our systems very slow in performance.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented the solution with an in-house team.

There is minimal effort needed for the setup and deployment.

We also evaluated Trend Micro before choosing Check Point.

After implementing Check Point Antivirus, we've had a few compatibility issues with my devices.

Check Point Antivirus proved to be highly productive for my work and has helped with data security via its features. It offers VPN capabilities and provides multiple device protection. It is very easy to monitor results across all covered devices.

Check Point Antivirus is highly compatible with other solutions and is scalable while offering extremely low pricing.

Check Point Antivirus automatically fixes pop-up ads and can effortlessly detect all kinds of threats while working in the background.

Along with Check Point Antivirus, the support provides multiple updates and upgrades in quick succession. It's quick to restore the management of the database and has scheduled security system and network upgrades for risk-free work management.

Overall, Check Point Antivirus is highly productive, scalable, compatible, and easy-to-use software for data security and system management. I highly recommend this platform.

There are no areas that Check Point Antivirus needs to work on.

Overall I didn't personally face any issues while implementing Check Point Antivirus. In comparison to alternatives present in the market Check Point Antivirus has high efficiency and a better ability to protect our devices both online and offline.

Personally, I highly recommend this platform to professionals for data security and management.

I've used Check Point Antivirus integration for approximately one year or so.

I haven't used any other such platform for data security and system management.

Overall, Check Point Antivirus is highly productive, scalable, compatible, and very easy to use. It's good software for data security and systems management and I highly recommend it.

I did look into other options. For a simple comparison, I visited certain websites for product reviews. In the end, I found Check Point Antivirus to be the best option.

Go for it. First, implement it and see the change in your levels of security.

Our primary use case is to protect endpoints.

The most valuable is encryption. 

We have some issues with encryption. The main issue is the red screen of death. Basically, it happened in previous versions of Check Point with encryption. When you install updates, not a specific update, but some Windows updates, the computer gets stuck. And it doesn't start. We were able to contact Check Point, and as a solution, they always say to use the latest version, but we are not happy with that solution. For us, it's not like a solution. 

Mostly, we work with the latest version. But that doesn't guarantee reliability.

It has another issue that we have at Check Point. Check Point has an antivirus with a Sandbox function. When you try to download some files, the sandbox gets confused with the sandblast. And sometimes you have to wait. 

So, there is room for improvement in terms of updates and with Sandbox and Sandblast. 

Another area of improvement is support. We faced some issues because of the language barrier. 

In future releases, I would like to see a nice feature in terms of encryption. When you want to decrypt a drive, it should be a little bit more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for three years. 

There is room for improvement in stability. The solution could be more stable. 

It is a scalable solution. We have around 150 end users using this solution in our organization. 

The customer service and support are really good. For basic support, it's good. But when you want expert support, it's not that good.

For basic support, you can talk to a person and understand the basics. I don't know if it's a language or a barrier issue or not. For example, you have an issue with your computer. When you call a call center, the first thing they would say is, "Turn it off and turn it on," or something like that. So, in that sense, they don't have problems. But when you want a more expert solution, like, "I'm having a problem with this specific update, and this happens. So, this sandbox issue, and this happens." They don't put you right away in contact with the experts. You have to insist a lot; at least, that was my experience.

Neutral

I have worked with WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus. 

The initial setup is very easy. It was very quick; it took around five minutes. 

We deployed the solution ourselves. It is on the cloud, but the installations are made on-premises.

The solution was a little bit expensive at the beginning, but that's not Check Point's fault. It's an issue with the taxes. When you buy a product, they have a lot of taxes. So, it becomes expensive. But they actually made very good pricing. WatchGuard also gives good prices.

We have a yearly base license. The support is included in the license costs. 

First of all, be aware of the issues like the technical support. The solution is good. The product is good, but I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It is not a ten because of the support. But if it weren't for that, it's a very, very good solution.
