The product offers high stability and flexibility.

The product is quite scalable and replicable across all kinds of IT environments 

Support is wonderful and we highly recommend them. 

Positive

We were using a few peer-recommended security solutions earlier.

The setup is not complicated at all. We had smooth onboarding and easy deployment.

We implemented it through a vendor.

We've seen over 75% ROI.

It's cheap and quite low presently, and the room for customization is humongous currently. High time to go for these solutions as they are accelerating with great performance and pace.

We looked at McAfee and Kaspersky. They were evaluated thoroughly by our business and tech teams.

I strongly recommend this solution to all IT businesses and professionals. This is a one-stop solution for all your security woes. Go for its trial today and experience the new age security utilities on your own.

I wanted to protect my system from threats as sensitive business information was being stored in it, understanding that keeping the hardware in a secure location won't be enough measure to protect all the data in it. I went over different options in the market as Kaspersky Lab, ESET, Symantec, and Check Point of course, and spoke to a representative and did my own investigations. I came to the realization that this was the best solution for the need and the budget I had available and it hasn't disappointed me since.

Given the fact that threats are evolving every day, it is really important to have a solution that's ahead of transforming viruses that can leak in multiple forms and channels. Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint. It also provides email protection and detects threats in the public networks you're trying to connect your device to.

Phishing is an issue that is affecting a lot of businesses given the huge email traffic in businesses. Sometimes the server security firewalls won't detect threats from coming into the endpoints, so email protection is definitely one of them that's helpful. 

Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats. Even when you are on secure sites, you will see that, with Check Point, some ads and advertising will be blocked as they could be potential viruses.

We've noticed that the management console has some limitations as it's managed through the browser. Despite being user-friendly it could definitely include a wider range of security measurements that can make it more customizable depending on the end-user interests. If the end-user happens to want a Linux OS it can't access the smart console as it's .exe and only supported through Windows. This means they'll have to use a virtual PC to access the .exe which just makes it a bit of a hassle for these end-users.

I've been using the solution for over seven years.

We did use Kaspersky and switched as there were security concerns around the privacy of the data.

Check Point's price point was right in the middle. It's not the cheapest and not the most expensive and offers a good cost/benefit ratio.

We looked at Kaspersky, ESET, Symantec, BitDefender, and McAfee.

Overall I am very satisfied.

We primarily install Check Point Antivirus on company computers and laptops to prevent malware infections, particularly focusing on protecting against phishing attacks and malicious downloads by employees.

The platform has significantly improved our organization's cybersecurity posture by effectively detecting and containing malware threats. 

The product's sandboxing feature is valuable as it runs suspicious files in a virtual environment. It helps us analyze their behavior without risking the main system.

The platform's malware detection capabilities could be enhanced. There is room for improvement in detecting more sophisticated and emerging threats.

Additionally, including AI-driven features that can automatically generate and optimize security policies based on the organization's specific needs and threats would be beneficial.

I have been using Check Point Antivirus for about two to three years.

The platform has proven to be very stable. We have not encountered any major issues or downtime related to its operation.

The product seamlessly scales from small to large deployments without any noticeable performance degradation. I rate the scalability a ten. 

I have heard positive feedback regarding the technical support team's responsiveness and expertise.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward. Installing agents and deploying the software on devices was simple, although configuring detailed security policies required some cybersecurity knowledge.

I rate Check Point Antivirus a seven out of ten. 

We had an absence of an antivirus utility that would give us protection inside and outside the organization. This tool integrated into several Check Point solutions helped us remedy this need. Starting from there, we have been applying this feature to meet the need and keep our users safe and secure. 

This solution is consistently implemented as part of the organization's endpoint security solution, combining global threat intelligence and next-generation advanced threat prevention engines. 

The endpoint security features are great. You not only have a solution that manages your computer but also protects you from malware, ransomware, and also from any other virus. You can do so from wherever you are and connect your computer to the internet. This feature learns well and is supported by global threat intelligence and zero-day threat prevention engines and many of the new generation. 

For us, it is important to have solutions that always protect and innovate the security of users and above all security and protection in real time. 

One of the characteristics of this antivirus that is valuable is the detection of ransomware. I can detect viruses that have done the most damage in recent years. I can protect users from damages and total or partial loss of information. We're being well protected. This protection feeds on databases that are constantly updated, giving greater security. It is worth using, and having in our organization is one of the products that will make the difference during an attack and will safeguard the security of the equipment.

I would like to see, in the future, this virus emulation feature deployed to endpoint security where it sends the virus found in sandboxing and emulates the attack, notifying administrators via a portal so that they can find out and learn from the attack that they are having.  

Another point to consider is the ability 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.

I've used the solution for two years.

It is easy to configure and is not very invasive with users, which makes it very practical to use.

Their service in Spanish is something that we need. We've had a bad taste based on this part of the service. We need more attention to our language. 

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus. We want to protect our systems from malware and viruses.

We are still doing work from home and we are not sure how long this will last. Before Check Point Harmony software, we depended on Windows Defender Antivirus, but we realized that it was not so good. We wanted some good AV so that users who are working on a VPN would have an antivirus installed on their system. 

Also, we wanted a sandbox feature so that, if any machine got infected, we can automatically isolate it from the network.

When starting, we faced many issues. It was due to a partner mistake, however. The partner gave us the wrong setup which caused laptops to crash and it lowered the efficiency. We escalated to our Check Point sales account manager. He immediately set us up with some other partner and tried to resolve the issue. He found the root cause, but still, we needed to format the system. It has been more than 3 months, and now the user's system is working fine. 

We always receive alert emails from Check Point regarding malware or virus status, which is helpful.

We like the sandbox feature. If any machine got infected, it would get automatically isolated from the network. As such, we haven't faced any issues. We like that we have an option to isolate. 

The alert email from Check Point is also very valuable. If any machine didn't get a scan or has a virus due to visiting various websites on a browser, it automatically sends us an email to warn us. Accordingly, we can take action on that particular machine. 

Overall, the antivirus is good.

Technical support could be better. When we register a complaint, we need to register it via the portal only, which is atime consuming.

When we register the complaint, it says there's a minimum of four hours of turnaround time which is high. It should be a minimum of 60 minutes. 

The GUI of Harmony is very slow to upload. I'm not sure if it is due to the internet, but still, at times, we found that when we click on any tab, it takes a minimum of five seconds to get it open.

All other things are okay from our end.

One feature we want to add is an EDR/XDR into this antivirus module.

I've been using the solution for 4 months.

The stability is good.

I found the solution to be okay. I'm not sure how others are providing the support as we haven't checked that.

Technical support is good.

No, we haven't used any other antivirus. It was by default in Windows.

The initial setup was okay.

We implement it through a vendor. 

I would rate their level of service at a 2 out of 5 where 1 is lowest and 5 is best.

If we talk about ROI, then the solution is good, as we are getting a sandbox feature in it plus the VPN licenses if we have the Check Point firewall.

The setup is okay depending on the partner and what the relationship is with you and your partner. The pricing is okay.

Yes, we have evaluated other options. For example, we've evaluated Sophos.

Our company works in the area of developing and delivering online gambling platforms. The Check Point Next-Generation Firewalls are the core security solution we use for the protection of our datacenter environment, located in Asia (Taiwan).

The environment has about 50 physical servers as virtualization hosts, and we have two HA Clusters that consist of 2x5400 hardware appliances, managed by an OpenServer Security Management Server on a Virtual Machine (KVM), all running on R80.10 with the latest JumboHotfix.

The Check Point Antivirus software blade is one of the numerous blades activated on the NGFWs and serves for security improvement in the area of scanning files that are traversing the network for the presence of viruses or other malicious software.

The Check Point HA Clusters are used to protect our company's datacenter, located in Asia (Taiwan). This software blade, the Check Point Antivirus, is activated in conjunction with the others and serves to scan the files traversing via the network. They may be in the form of email attachments or via HTTP/S.

Such files are scanned for the presence of known viruses and malware with the help of the built-in database. The database is updated as per schedule, which for us is four times per day.

The software is quite simple to use, yet still efficient. The antivirus scans are the basic security mechanism, which should be implemented on all the levels. In my opinion, the Check Point Antivirus does its job just right.

1. The Antivirus software blade is part of the Next Generation Threat Prevention license bundle.
   
2. The Antivirus is able to scan files downloaded from the internet or traversing the network via Check Point Gateways/Clusters.
3. The Antivirus software blade is configured via the Unified Threat Prevention policy in the Smart Console (at least for R80.10, the version we use).
4. There is almost no impact on the security Gateway/Cluster performance after the activation of the blade, especially if you don't scan nested archives.
5. The updates for the blade are downloaded every two hours.
6. As with the other Check Point blades, the visibility and logging of events are outstanding.

I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain. Maintenance requires that the licenses and the support services be prolonged regularly.

Alternatively, they should create some additional bundles of the software blades with significant discounts in addition to the current Next Generation Threat Prevention & SandBlast (NGTX) and Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP) offers.

We also had several support cases opened for software issues, but none of them were connected with the Check Point Antivirus software blade.

We have been using this product for about three years, starting in late 2017.

The Check Point Antivirus software blade is stable and we haven't faced any issues with it.

The Check Point Antivirus software blade scales well with the gateways we use, since it doesn't affect the overall performance much after activation.

We have had several support cases opened, but none of them were connected with the Check Point Mobile Access Software Blade. Some of the issues were resolved by installing the latest recommended JumoHotfix, whereas some required additional configuration at the OS kernel level.

The longest issue took about one month to be resolved, which we consider too long.

No, we didn't previously use another network antivirus solution.

The setup was straightforward. The configuration was easy and understandable, and we relied heavily on built-in objects and groups.

Our deployment was completed by our in-house team. We have a Check Point Certified engineer working in the engineering team.

Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall.

No, since we had Check Point NGFWs implemented, we just enabled the new software blade.
