Check Point Antivirus Reviews

Check Point Antivirus has proven to be a savior. It helps in protecting our computers and other e-devices at endpoints from malicious ransomware, etc. 

It actively eliminates malware and protects the system from any potential damage. 

It is well-performing antivirus software that is absolutely different from traditional threat-combating antivirus tools. 

Conventional antivirus software is often not upgraded enough to fight advanced threats. Check Point Antivirus's performance efficiency is quite good and is highly recommended by peers.

Check Point Antivirus is an advanced antivirus software with high-performance efficiency and is continuously improvising its features and version to have better security enhancements at the end. 

They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability. It comes quite highly recommended. Everyone recommends it. 

Our organization used to spend a lot on data and system security. The cost of security was increasingly becoming relatively high and unmanageable. Our peers recommended trying the Check Point Solution, which felt great after using it. It is worth having this security software for businesses!

The high malware catchment rate is great and really commendable. The software is equipped with scanning all kinds of sources, email servers, and cloud servers for their endpoint threat and immediately diffuses and eliminates the threat source and threat points. It helps us to improve security scanning and also leads to endpoint management throughout. 

The software provides advanced security features like signature-based malware detection, which is widely used by organizations for scanning their code management and securing their code system end to end.

The other features, like real-time endpoint detection, help us with 24/7 scanning and monitoring of the system for ransomware, and can immediately remove them permanently. 

Everything is just great about the software. That said, a certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours. Small, marginal, and medium enterprises could also use a reduced subscription model so as not to pose much burden on budgets. 

Also, the cybersecurity trend is quite dynamic and changes every now and then. It would be really great if continuous upgrades and orientation and training on upgrades could be proactively arranged and organized by concerned officials from time to time.

It's been one year now since I've been using the solution.

It is a very stable software.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We started using Check Point. An earlier in-house-based local solution was used as an antivirus before that.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through the vendor only.

The ROI looks promising.

The setup cost is significantly lower for Check Point Antivirus. Its pricing is low compared to the majority of the competitors. Licensing is smooth and easy.

We evaluated McAfee, Trend Security, etc., before finalizing the usage of Check Point Antivirus.

It's a must-have security solution for all businesses and professionals as it is an advanced security solution with enough capabilities to improve cybersecurity enhancement for businesses. 

Check Point Antivirus helps restrict malicious threats and trojans from entering into the IT system and secure the system end to end. 

Also, its feature of endpoint detection and response helps business users to restrict any malware attack onto the system in more robust manner and stop any threat attack attempts.

It also secures the system in a foolproof way and boosts the performance to greatest extent. This result boosted productivity and improved outcomes for the organization as a whole. It is one of the best antivirus applications on the market currently. 

Check Point Antivirus has removed the endpoint threats in a more secure and structured manner. 

Also, its advanced malware detection technique helped strengthen the IT system's security and permanently remove any threat entrant from the system.

Through ThreatCloud, it helps in the identification and correct detection of potential malware entry into the cloud server and also provides immediate auto-remediation upon detection of any threat attack on the server.

It is one of the best security solutions in the market today. We highly recommend it to everyone.

The ThreatCloud is an amazing feature and helps in intelligent and proactive detection of threat attacks along with auto-remediation of the system.

The industry cloud and integration services with alert notifications are some really exciting features that helped in achieving flexible and strengthened security administration.

It addresses zero-day threats and next-gen viral threat attacks on the system and also has strengthened the security administration through a single management console.

The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent.

Competition is huge and is strongly advised to keep innovating the features and utilities so that it stands out in comparison to its competition in the market.

They need to have an extension of the trial period/trial version so that more startups and small, marginal, and medium enterprises can also be part of this without any hesitation.

I've used the solution for six to 12 months.

The product offers amazing stability features.

The scalability is great.

We've had the best experience with technical support.

Positive

We are a first-time user.

It is easy to use and deploy across any platform.

The vendor assisted with the setup.

We've seen an ROI of over 80%.

I'd advise potential users to go for the Check Point advanced security solutions as they are credible and trusted by many.

A lot of security solutions were checked by the tech team.

Users should go for it; you will not regret it.

We primarily use the solution as antivirus, antimalware, et cetera. It's standard antivirus software. Every PC must have an antivirus on it in our organization.

It just has standard antivirus. It does what it needs to.

The solution offers good performance. 

Its stability has been good.

The initial setup is easy.

There is no real scalability.

We'd like to see a friendlier user interface.

I've been using the solution for one year.

The stability is decent and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

This solution does not scale. It's only installed on your PC and it has nothing to do with scale.

We have 2,000 users right now. We do plan to increase usage within a year.

We have never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

I've also used Microsoft Defender.

I'm not sure if the company used a different solution previously. I just joined this company one year and they had already started using Check Point.

The installation process is very simple and straightforward. The deployment is quick. It only takes a few minutes. 

We have individuals in our department that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. It only takes about 3% of our personnel.

I handled the initial setup myself. I did not need the assistance of any consultants or integrators. 

Users need to pay a yearly licensing fee.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

I'm much more likely to suggest Microsoft Defender to other users. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

Check Point Antivirus is a one-stop solution for detecting endpoints and malware and diffusing them immediately upon detection. 

They are ranked the world's number four anti-malware tool with a high catchment rate of viruses and improved efficiency for a better outcome for small, marginal, and bigger organizations. 

Check Point Antivirus has received a lot of good peer feedback publicly, and this improves its transparency and credibility to a great extent. Its efficiency is worth welcoming, and due to its improved performance and no lags during functioning, it is highly recommended.

Check Point Antivirus has improved the overall efficiency of our laptops and other e-devices end to end, as now we can handle fast attack resolution against ransomware and malware. 

It monitors our network and devices throughout and brings the best endpoint protection for our systems and servers. 

The organization has significantly reduced and cut down on expenses due to the wide benefits of the software and also its sustainable use and requirements. It has helped organizations to scale properly without any issues related to malware and ransomware attacks

The speedy catchment rate of endpoints and malware is exceptionally good and act as a precursor for organizations in order to deploy this antivirus and secure the system and servers in a proactive manner without any trouble. 

It has an inbuilt AI system that helps in diffusing the virus in a proactive manner and protects the system from getting damaged at the worst level.

The pricing is also quite affordable for marginal organizations as well, and their improved efficiency is great. Signing and renewing of MoUs were not difficult at all. They are a good stakeholder to work with.

I strongly feel that the extension of the trial version of the antivirus should be extended with more features included so that new users may test the software at its best. A thoroughly informed buyer can make a decision in a sound manner which creates a win-win situation for both Check Point and the client.

They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all.

I've been using the solution for more than four months now.

The product is stable.

The solution is impressive and scalable.

We've had a great experience with technical support so far.

Positive

We did not use a different solution previously. Check Point is the best of all options. 

The solution is straightforward and easygoing in terms of the initial setup. 

We implemented the solution through the vendor.

The ROI is very good.

It is easy and straightforward to set up without any complexity. Licensing is easy to onboard, and there is no implementation trouble at all.

We did evaluate a lot of options. 

We looked into Cisco, Juniper, and Sophos. They were all carefully evaluated by my tech team before switching to this product.

Check Point should keep bringing and infusing in new features and functionalities. That will act as an edge against fellow competitors.

The solution has a mobile monitoring system called WatchTower that you can link to a mobile. It would be great if they could add an antivirus feature so that we can monitor individual TCS activities too. Anyone willing to use this solution can certainly do so. The tool is very easy to use and the approach to security and updates is very good. Implementing policies and rules on-premises is also very user-friendly with the solution. Moreover, we can direct three to four billings together. If one ISP goes down, the second one automatically picks up. People wouldn’t even know that their internet has dropped. This kind of technology with low latency is very advantageous.

I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. 

They should also consider reducing the price so that more people will go for the solution.

I have been using the tool for almost two years.

The tool is stable.

The tool is scalable. There are roughly 60 users for the solution in our company.

I have not contacted the tech support team directly. I contacted them through the Check Point dealers in Sri Lanka. They have technicians who assist us. I contacted them several times to understand some settings during the installation of the tool in the system.

I have used Kaspersky and found Check Point to be better. There was an incident with Kaspersky when a person clicked on an email-generated ransomware and it got onto the system. Kaspersky couldn’t protect against the attacks and the ransomware spread. However, when the system was monitored by Check Point, the firewall protected it from downloading any malicious files. Hence, Check Point is doing a better job than Kaspersky. The only advantage that Kaspersky has over Check Point is the price since it is cheaper than Check Point. 

Kaspersky costs below 50,000-40,000 Sri Lankan Rupees.

The deployment of the solution is straightforward.

We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 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.

The primary use case of Check Point Antivirus is to protect our machines and data from viruses and to clean our systems from all malware to ensure the security of our data and servers from external threats and invasions. 

We have configured Check Point antivirus with all our machines, servers, and databases as a security solution against real-time virus threats that may harm our systems. 

It has been easy to configure and provides up-to-date advanced-level protection. Remote management is also being used to remove any potential viruses from users' machines if found. 

It has improved the overall security of our machines and data with multi-layered antivirus solutions. Real-time threat protection is a wonderful aspect of Check Point Antivirus and can provide 24/7 security to configured machines.

It makes us feel more secure and helps us to react proactively against any online invasion and data protection. The simplicity of management and remote assistance for the users make it a smooth experience, and administrators can easily handle tasks remotely. 

The most important and useful feature is the regular updates against modern-day viruses. We have seen that new viruses and malware are introduced by hackers every day, and we need to keep ourselves a step ahead for protection against those threats. 

Check Point Antivirus, with its up-to-date features, ensures that we are always ahead of the new versions of viruses and provides real-time protection. The overall features and data loss prevention makes it a valuable product in every way.

There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes. It doesn't cover some of the applications and operating systems like macOS and SAP cloud products. 

Another issue I can recall is the fake threat calls and removal of safe applications (assuming them to be viruses and malware), which is sometimes annoying. The overall product features and functions are reliable and have everything covered otherwise and I consider it to be the best antivirus solution. 

I've used the solution for more than two years.

We find it to be an almost 99% stable solution.

This is an excellent, scalable solution.

Technical support is very effective and knowledgeable. 

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution.

This is a good solution that comes at a reasonable price.

I did not evaluate other options. 

It is a very effective antivirus and I would recommend it. 

We use the Check Point Maestro for data center firewalls. It has the ability to spread the load across multiple devices and still only have one source of management, which is incredible. Plus, everything duplicates across the firewalls without manual intervention.

We are currently moving from a flat network into this setup, and, with the amount of traffic that we are going to be sending through the firewalls, this is the only way it could have been done. 

Also, the product offers the ability to have little to no downtime during patching. 

This setup is a beast!

We didn't have anything before. This really creates a secure and fast solution. In order to be able to track everything coming in and out of our data center. We have a flat network and now that we are moving to this design, we needed something that can secure servers and users from each other and make sure we are only allowing what needs to be allowed and not allowing anyone to traverse the network maliciously. 

Also, we have no ability for downtime - so having this solution helps make sure that we can patch and keep security going without having to talk to everyone for change management.

Scalability is a huge factor. 

The need for no downtime is key for us - and this solution offers that. When you have six gateways you have to patch and no one even notices, it's phenomenal. 

We need to be able to keep these connections running 100% of the time. The fact that we can patch and reboot firewalls and no one even notices is a huge plus. We need to be able to keep it secure but also keep it up and running. 

Having the six gateways and being able to clone them in when we need a new gateway is excellent. I love that we are able to just put a new gateway in and clone it.

I don't really have any real suggestions for this to be improved. The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line. As we train new people and have fewer hands that touch these firewalls, having a good understanding of how CLI works and how to install patches and remove patches from gateways using this method is dying. So, being able to do it the same way we do all the other gateways would be excellent.

I've been using the solution for over one year.

I am very impressed. I didn't think anything like this would be possible.

It has the MOST scalability of any product out there. You can slam another gateway in and clone it and off you go.

We always have great support and service. I don't think any other vendor provides this level of support.

Positive

I have used Fortigate before, however, the management on Check Point is unrivaled.

The setup was slightly complex to begin with. That said,  once you've set up a new connection a few times it gets easier.  

We handled the setup with the vendor team. They are the best at Check Point!

I don't pay the bills, however, it's my understanding that there is an argument out there for ROI.

The cost is up there. However, when you are dealing with the best, you cannot really balk at pricing.

We did not evaluate other options.

Check Point Support is top-notch. You cannot beat their support.

Check Point Antivirus is used with integrations in all the software of our company and also with connections to all the computers that we use in our employees. All operational areas have Check Point Antivirus implemented.

Check Point Antivirus has the ability to monitor the status of the network and know if there is any threat in our network and thus clean it immediately and maintain security.

In our organization, all departments of the company are protected and secure since the implementation and something important can be monitored in real-time from the application of Check Point Antivirus.

It was necessary to implement a tool to detect data leaks and protect the services in our business. The most sensitive software service was where Check Point began to be implemented, seeing how well it worked, it expanded to different areas of the business

With the implementation of Check Point, our computers have been safe within our network and have prevented the entry of threats thanks to the EDR system. We also needed a tool that had system recovery and this tool satisfactorily meets all our requirements.

All the features that Check Point antivirus presents are very important for the implementation of network security and the most valuable part of this tool is the easy and interactive way of its configuration through SmartConsole in Check Point.

It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus, which is the most important thing. IPS and Antivirus work together, which provides more flexibility and security throughout our work environment and thus be able to have a well-secured infrastructure

One of the most frequent problems that Check Point Antivirus presents is that some antivirus updates fail continuously. However, once the update is done, it does not present any problem and works very well. The solution has high CPU and memory consumption on the firewall. It should work on the consumption of resources since we have also detected that the same thing happens with the performance of the users' machines.

The graphical interface of the solution should also improve a little since it is a little complicated to find certain objects to be able to make a configuration, in addition the guides are outdated and sometimes they do not match the interface which is sometimes complicated to implement.

Check Point Antivirus was implemented 4 years ago.

It is a very stable product. However, we've had some problems with the updates.

It has excellent scalability. The same profile can be used with the same exceptions in the management firewalls

The technical support is regular. There are well-prepared technicians. There are others who are still lacking since some problems have arisen and it has cost them to solve them.

Positive

We used Check Point as our first option.

The initial configuration is simple since it presents a very intuitive graphical interface for the user. The configuration of blocking and allowing rules is easy since the panel was designed to make it as user-friendly as possible.

The implementation was done together with the provider and was quite profitable. The provider was qualified to do this type of installation.

Our ROI is that we keep all our network and equipment safe and updated.

I'd recommend you to try it. It is a good tool that allows and gives users the confidence to manage the network and keep it safe.

As we have already been working with different Check Point products, it was the first option to maintain a consistent line of technology.

Before making the implementation, I'd advise users to verify the performance of the machines where it will be used.
