Security Browse - Infinity Portal
Pros and Cons
- "It is easy to implement and has great security potential to avoid vulnerabilities through internet browsing."
- "The documentation of the most current applications is sometimes not so clear, and it is difficult to understand."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Check Point's cloud solution is not managed by the customer.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We had not previously used a solution like Harmony Browse.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
It is always a good practice to research the different solutions available on the market.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good security, useful analytics, and helps keep devices secure
Pros and Cons
- "Among its most important features is the integration of its analytics."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for one year.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

One of a kind first unified security solution for devices and access
Pros and Cons
- "The installation process is simple. Once initiated, the process is quite straightforward and seamless, making it easy to complete."
- "security solution for users Devices and Access" What is our primary use case? 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. What is most valuable? The installation process is simple. Once initiated, the process is quite straightforward and seamless, making it easy to complete. What needs improvement? 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."

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

The setup is very straightforward.

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

Great support, cutting-edge technology, and good security
Pros and Cons
- "It gives our customers a sense of security they might not have found anywhere else."
- "Having local support everywhere in the world would be helpful."
What is our primary use case?
We provide services to clients that have to do with their websites. For a company like ours, we needed a product that could safeguard our workstations.
We need to provide our customers with a safe and secure environment to win their business, and choosing Check Point Harmony Browse was and still is the best decision we've made.
It gives our customers a sense of security they might not have found anywhere else.
Since our move to Check Point Harmony, our client relationship has improved dramatically.
How has it helped my organization?
Since our move to Check Point Harmony, our client relationship has improved by quite a bit. Our trust rating has gone up immensely, and we couldn't even fathom the level of change we experienced until one of our clients mentioned it.
We were hesitant to make this change in the beginning. However, we all have finally agreed to finalize the switch, and we have not looked back.
The support was also very different from what we were used to; they go above and beyond to make sure that our concerns are fixed in no time.
What is most valuable?
Their support is top-notch, and their technology is cutting-edge. We had a little problem when it came to deployment. However, their support has helped us throughout the entire process. They also educated us and answered all our questions, even though some of them may have sounded ignorant. We appreciate a great support team, which has been a great factor in deciding to stay with them and renew our product. They're easy to reach out to and will not stop until all our issues are resolved.
What needs improvement?
They can maybe improve the deployment strategy.
Having local support everywhere in the world would be helpful.
Our deployment has taken a while to complete as there were some issues with the OS we were using. This was handled by their support team with great success; however, it would have been best if it was completed in the time frame that was originally discussed. We're still very happy with the overall support that we are getting, and that's really all we can ask for.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for over a year.

Great security with helpful zero-day phishing protection and good detection capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "The downloaded protection as it scans and emulates the files on a browser level is great."
- "URL filtering could be better."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for less than a year.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support has addressed all of our questions.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used something from ESET. We switched to Harmony as it offers more and is more “bang for the buck.”
How was the initial setup?
It was pretty straightforward to set up, and the vendor helped all the way.
What about the implementation team?
We handled the setup in-house.
What was our ROI?
We can’t be sure of ROI as of yet as it’s still pretty new.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
