Check Point Harmony Browse Reviews

The application is good as its lightweight and its functions are really similar to a browser extension. It offers real-time protection for internet users by addressing active concerns. Moreover, it incorporates a reputation feature to ensure swift access to websites within a second. The effectiveness of Harmony Browse’s capabilities is really an advantage. 

The installation process is simple. Once initiated, the process is quite straightforward and seamless, making it easy to complete.    

Regarding the Harmony Browse, I call it "Kuna" which is accurate. The quantum product serves as my primary focus due to its project cost, and I aim to introduce support in this area. This is because firewall implementation holds significant importance for organizations. I want to improve more on the quantum losses.

There's a concept I'd like to include in Harmony Browse, known as automatic catching. This mechanism comes into play when an individual closes their browser while possessing sensitive information, like monetary data. To counteract potential risks, we employ a browser cache-clearing process to minimize the cache's accumulation. This action ensures that malicious entities can't exploit the cached data for attacks. To enhance this further, there's potential for the implementation of a self-cleaning technology. For instance, when a user exits the browser, an automatic action could be initiated to clear the browser cache, serving as an additional layer of security. This can be helpful if added.

I am using Check Point Harmony Browse for the past one year.

I didn’t have any issues with stability.

The scalability is good. I would rate it 10 out of 10. 

The support is not very helpful and the response takes very long.

Neutral

I believe this product has very limited competition. This is primarily due to deliberately leaving out competitors for Dela. As of now, it appears that only one vendor offers this product.

The setup is very straightforward. 

The price is not very expensive for our organisation, but for others, it might be a little expensive.

I would rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

Check Point Harmony Browse has been used by our company to provide security in the browsers of user computers that work remotely. They connect from many places, some with a lot of security, others with too many vulnerabilities. We needed to provide advanced security to these teams with a reliable tool, which could help protect against phishing, malware, and especially ransomware - since it is one of the most damaging threats today. This tool fulfills what we were looking for in an incredible way.

Previously, we had many vulnerabilities with the files downloaded by users through their browsers. Sometimes they were malware and sometimes ransomware. Since they were not in the perimeter, they were easy targets for these modern threats. However, thanks to this powerful tool, we have achieved the business security that we required.

This tool installs a very small agent in browsers. It does not cause performance problems on the host computer, which makes it less annoying for users.

With this, we have improved and secured the company's computers from anywhere against these threats.

We value the entire Check Point Harmony Browse tool. One of its greatest benefits is the ease of implementation. Its nano agent is incredible; it securely protects all devices.

The administration from the centralized Infinity Portal provides an additional plus for the IT department since, in addition to being centralized, it is very intuitive. This benefits the administration and the time spent by the engineers during an event or in the case of daily management.

As for the costs, it seems pretty comfortable.

Check Point has always been a constant tool, with its new tools, it has taken a lot of advantage over its competition. However, there are always features that need improvement, for example:

1. Support must be faster in solving problems. Sometimes it takes many days to have a solution.

2. Check Point could put more facilities in its manuals and documentation, including more graphics to make it simple for the client.

3. The prices are only visible through a partner. It would also be good to be able to see them publicly.

This is a great simple security tool for browsers that is easy to install an has been used throughout this year (2022).

It is such a punctual tool. It is easy to use and so powerful in a way that we have not seen in other manufacturers. That's why we love Check Point.

It is important to assess the costs and scope of the solution in order to meet the needs of the clients.

We evaluated tools, that were not the same, from other manufacturers such as Cisco and Fortinet. However, we chose Check Point Harmony browse for all its features and security power.

I'd advise people to try the tool. Personally, I was amazed.

This solution is essential to protect browsing against zero-day malware and zero-day phishing in a simple and easy-to-manage way. 

With this solution, users can browse without worries, focusing on their work and not on security. In addition, this solution is available for all common systems (Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS), so you can avoid big scares with it.

This solution is easily managed from a console in the cloud and only requires deploying an extension in browsers, which facilitates its administration.

With this solution, users' browsing is automatically protected against zero-day phishing and zero-day malware, all with almost no configuration required. In addition, you can monitor that corporate passwords are not reused, which further reduces the chances of falling into phishing.

All these protections are maintained wherever the user is, which makes it perfect for teleworking.

In my particular case, unfortunately, only a few of us in the organization have this solution installed. The rest of the users continue with these threats.

This solution has multiple protections, with Zero-phishing being the most different from the rest of the solutions on the market since it is capable of detecting and blocking all new phishing attacks quickly and easily.

The second most differentiating factor that offers effective protection is Threat Extraction. It allows us to safely download any document in a few seconds, eliminating their active content and thus avoiding the risk of malware. If the original document is necessary, it can be downloaded after the file is analyzed by its advanced sandbox system.

This solution has multiple protections that are generally very simple to configure and work quickly with little intrusiveness for the user. In the case of document download zero-day threat protection, Threat Extraction, this is not exactly the case. 

It works very well, however, it is very annoying for users, since it does not always work in the same way and sometimes it makes it show you the same window twice for each file to indicate where you want to save it. The ease of handling should be improved, as it is currently intrusive and some users don't like it.

I've used the solution for about seven years.

It is very stable and only has a few times a year where the console cannot be accessed, although the solution still works due to updates.

It is a very scalable solution since the client is very light and the management is done from a console in the cloud.

The customer service is very good, however, the support is somewhat slow and heavy.

Positive

I have tried several solutions and this seems to me the most complete and safest.

The initial configuration is done in about ten minutes and then all you have to do is load the extension in the browsers.

We implemented the solution internally.

By being able to avoid a first virus or phishing, ROI is achieved.

It is an economic solution and very focused on the protection of navigation. It is also easy to configure, deploy, and manage.

We also looked at Crowdstrike, Symantec, Bitdefender, Netscope, and AVG.

We required a solution that could granularly provide access and navigation policies for both inside and outside the perimeter. The Check Point Harmony Browse solution allowed us to provide this security.

Thanks to its silent installation agent (that does not require high consumption of host performance), we were able to provide security against malware and ransomware, among other modern threats.

Customers have had no problems provisioning this tool and are satisfied with the results.

Check Point Harmony Browse has helped us improve the security of browsing, downloading files, and dealing with malware that can be found when connecting from different sites. For example, our salespeople tend to leave the company a lot and connect from any site to company resources. They can be vulnerable and be an easy target for attacks.

This tool helped us to close those vulnerabilities that browsers have. In this way, our laptops are more secure.

This is a very practical solution. It is easy to implement and has great security potential to avoid vulnerabilities through internet browsing.

We also like the Nano agent. It does not consume any performance from your host, and is also very easy to install, which speeds up its implementation on clients.

It can be monitored and improved by granular policies within the Check Point Infinity Portal, where its dashboard is very intuitive for the client.

We like how it works. We like the protection provided. It's a modern security application.

Check Point Harmony Browse can improve a few features. Some related to the product include:

Check Point technical support, which is somewhat slow in responding to requests generated from the portal. It generates some delays in the solution. The hours of Check Point support are different from those in Latin America, which is why this problem occurs.

The documentation of the most current applications is sometimes not so clear, and it is difficult to understand. It needs some points to help generate implementations with good practices.

It's a very good security tool. We have used it since 2020. It helped us a lot during the time of the pandemic for dealing with remote work.

Check Point's cloud solution is not managed by the customer.

We had not previously used a solution like Harmony Browse.

It is important to validate the costs, requirements, and business needs in order to choose the best Check Point solution for the company.

It is also important to have a Check Point partner to support us in all requirements and requests.

It is always a good practice to research the different solutions available on the market.

We find ourselves with the need to ensure the navigation of our users, providing safe navigation solutions protecting equipment and searches, mainly since, in many cases, users are people with little knowledge of security and are entering any type of web page where we can find malicious environments which can compromise the infrastructure and associated services.

We have a need to secure equipment and be able to have our users protected when they browse anywhere, especially when we have many of our users working from home.

In our search for solutions to protect users inside or outside the organization, and to provide security when browsing wherever they go, we came across this product. We wanted the protection that we previously had only in the perimeter area. At this point, we saw this solution provided great value to our organization as the security is integrated with the services of the Check Point cloud. This integration is so powerful that each request leads us to conduct a deep inspection of each one of the queries, being one of the best in the market and providing protection at all times. 

Among its most important features is the integration of its analytics. It allows us to be faster and predicts events that violate the security of the equipment. We can avoid zero-day events and intrusions. We can avoid malware and ransomware infections which are the most common. It gives us the possibility of protecting each of the activities. 

One of the new features I would like to see is the possibility that these tools can be brought to mobile devices such as tablets and cell phones in iOS or Android applications. 

I would like is to be able to take this solution and be able to take existing designs and integrate the product into all services since it's one of the most important solutions. 

We must be more proactive and integrate existing solutions into a single integrated package so that customers feel more secure. 

I've used the solution for one year.

We are a certification company, and clients send us details about their websites that we need to download from time to time. Having Harmony ensures that we don’t get attacked and our client's information gets protected. 

In order for us to provide certifications, we must also ensure that our services are protected to the highest level. So far, Harmony has been able to provide the level of protection that we require as a company. It not only eases our minds but also helps us sleep peacefully at night.

It builds trust from our clients as they’re sure that their information is safe and fully protected.

Building trust is the foundation of our company, so it is vital for us to use services that are up to our standards and are on our level. We provide our clients top-notch services and it is only sensible that we provide top-notch solutions/protection as well. 

It is necessary to be on top and remain on top by providing what’s only the best and nothing less.    

The downloaded protection as it scans and emulates the files on a browser level is great. It also blocks zero-day phishing sites so our clients and employees are safe from having their sign-ins used elsewhere and the fact it detects and prevents the use of log-in passwords on a different website to ensure that we are fully protected. 

It is a big deal for us, as there are thousands and thousands of data points that can be hacked from our credentials alone. Preventing the use of the same password somewhere else is huge protection already.

URL filtering could be better. It would be great if you can have object-based categories on the management dashboard. 

It would be best for it to be object-based instead of URL-based as it saves us a lot of time. 

Clicking the object/subject from the dashboard shortens the handling time as compared to using a URL. 

There are many questionable sites that we can’t keep track of, and it would be easier to just have them in a visible list than to find them. I’d say both URL, and object-based filtering needs to be available.

I've used the solution for less than a year.

Technical support has addressed all of our questions.

Positive

We used something from ESET. We switched to Harmony as it offers more and is more “bang for the buck.”

It was pretty straightforward to set up, and the vendor helped all the way.

We handled the setup in-house.

We can’t be sure of ROI as of yet as it’s still pretty new.

We had been considering Harmony for a while and had been waiting for our contact to end to switch. We may have considered others prior. However, we had been set on getting this.
