Easy-to-integrate product with a valuable feature for building API
Pros and Cons
  • "The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
  • "From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."

What is most valuable?

The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client. Both features offer significant advantages from different perspectives.

What needs improvement?

From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support. While the technical features and xRail-based aspects are good, support still needs to be improved. However, this concern could be addressed effectively if they focus on improving support.

We have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for the last three or four years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is scalable.

Good threat extraction, reduces malicious attacks, and offers great features
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
  • "They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."

What is our primary use case?

The implementation of Check Point Harmony Endpoint has provided great improvements in the functioning of our organization. Therefore, we wanted to protect our courses from cyber attacks and required an end-to-end security system that could prevent/save us from cyber attacks and protect our sensitive data. 

The advantages that it presents is that you can access the systems on multiple devices, be it laptops, Mac, Windows or mobile devices and this is a great benefit. It provides reports where it brings the details of vulnerabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint was implemented due to the fact that malware and cyber-attacks have been steadily increasing lately and we needed a tool that would prevent cyber-attacks. With Harmony Endpoint, it is possible to identify those attacks and prevent them. It has also given us the possibility to qualify all these possible attacks and thus take into account where and how they want to penetrate our network.

This implementation provided a fully functional antivirus solution that gave the company the ability to defend against almost all threats occurring inside or outside the network.

What is most valuable?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner.

The threat extraction and threat emulation have been a great benefit to give more autonomy to users.

On the other hand, it cannot be left out that it reduces the number of malicious attacks. It has helped us to properly monitor what has been happening with our network traffic and prevent individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations.

What needs improvement?

Some problems that I have had with this and other Check Point tools in the cloud is when entering the portal since it stops responding or takes a long time to process a query and this causes delays and efficiency.

They should also add new functions such as threat hunting. 

Finally, it should be able to implement with and have a good integration and interaction with Azure in the management of vulnerabilities, and data management that between the two can be integrated 100% with Check Point Harmony Endpoint and thus be able to make good automated management.

For how long have I used the solution?

It was implemented approximately 2 years ago

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is very stable. It has some problems in the cloud where the access is stuck, however, nothing has caused improper functioning.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an easy to scale tool.

How are customer service and support?

We have had good experiences. The cases have been successfully concluded.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Nothing was implemented that was similar to this type of tool.

How was the initial setup?

As mentioned before, the configuration of this tool is very simple and interactive.

What about the implementation team?

When the installation was done, a vendor helped us and explained how it worked.

What was our ROI?

With this tool, you can be sure of and have confidence that the investment made will protect the company's complete information.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a tool that I highly recommend. Its implementation is very easy, as is its configuration.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Several tools were taken into account, however, Check Point was chosen as we have already used several tools and it has given us confidence and solidity.

What other advice do I have?

It is an excellent tool in the management of vulnerabilities.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Good real-time endpoint analysis, great blocking mechanisms, detects malware effectively
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
  • "We have observed some policies are not working as expected."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for multiple purposes such as endpoint protection, organizational malware attack tracking and maintaining, blocking of IP addresses, domain and URL blocking, and prevention and detection, according to the purposes we follow. 

Check Point is the best in the marketplace for next-generation firewalls. In combination with Endpoint Security, it proves to be stable, error-free, and up-to-date with the latest fixes and solutions available. 

How has it helped my organization?

Earlier in our organization there was normally an antivirus which was used to check endpoint protection and policies according to what was applied. However, the detection of endpoints was not up to date with real-time analysis. 

There is a lot of gap in analysis. The malware reports and signatures were not updated in real-time. There was no blocking of Suspicious URLs or domains in real-time. As we using Check Point in DMZ. We purchased the license and implemented it in the UAT zone for the best outcome as per the organization's requirements.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspects of the solution are the real-time endpoint analysis and blocking mechanism, the detection of malware and threats is the best use of this technology. 

As we have the stability of this product and best practices solution is applied to the infrastructure as endpoints have a clear view of the statistics and performance. 

Also, we have monitored the server level where it's been protected from the outside world. The CPU, memory, and hard disk consumption and compromisation are good. 

The dashboard has also been user-friendly and easy to understand.  

What needs improvement?

Check Point is the best in the marketplace. As the EDR [Endpoint Harmony] there is a lot of enhancement in fixing the solution. We have observed some policies are not working as expected. We have observed a few cosmetic issues as well, however, it's fine. 

Minor release should improve the stability and overall performance of the endpoint solution. Consumption of the endpoint solution should have clear visibility on day-to-day operation tasks that are being carried out also we should monitor the malicious IP address and URL for blocking the same.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for four or more years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is the best in the marketplace.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is the best in the marketplace.

How are customer service and support?

Their technical support is the best in the marketplace.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the setup with an in-house team. I'd rate the experience foud out of five.

What was our ROI?

The ROI witnessed is the best in the marketplace.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point is the best in the marketplace. It's a good EDR and the cost is minimal.

Moderately priced, easy to configure, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
  • "Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation."

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Antivirus Blade is enabled on all of our HA clusters throughout the world. The primary use case for this product is to protect our end-users while working physically in the office or remotely. It monitors all traffic in and out of the organization to detect known threats such as malware. Functionality is limited without HTTPS inspection as the blade will just look at SRC/DST traffic rather than be able to do packet inspections on actual traffic. It is great that it is included in the base FW license.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Antivirus has improved our organization by being able to identify known threats and actively drop connections to ensure our users remain secure. It leverages the Bogus DNS endpoint from Check Point to redirect traffic destined for known threats and doesn't require a lot of admin overhead to configure or tune based on the organization's needs. An added bonus is Check Points "Threat Cloud" which all of its gateways talk to so that attacks that are detected in one customer's environment are updated and would be blocked automatically within another environment. 

What is most valuable?

Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure. We enable the blade in the SMS for the gateway and that's pretty much it. You can get into the nitty gritty and fine-tune some of the settings to fit your organization better than the default settings, however, personally, I have yet to do this and it is working as expected in my organization. It is also great that this is not an add-on license and is included with the low-tier licensing which helps to reduce the overall cost to the organization while increasing the value of the product.

What needs improvement?

Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation. I have had a few times where something was detected as being a false positive and TAC requested so much information that in all honesty, was not worth my time to collect as the URL being blocked was a simple webpage that, based on my analysis, the IP was previously being used for malicious intent and was now a legitimate business however was still being blocked by the blade.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not had any performance issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is easy to scale and enable on SGs as long as they are managed by the same SMS.

How are customer service and support?

Support has improved over the years.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

No previous solution was utilized. This solution has been in place on the SGs since they were installed.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward. It is enabled from the SMS and it works.

What about the implementation team?

We managed the setup of the solution in-house.

What was our ROI?

The ROI is revealed by the fact that it protects end-users.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point in general is moderately priced compared to competitors.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Palo Alto and Fortigate.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

An easy-to-use and stable solution
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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 the price so that many people will go for the solution."

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the tool for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment of the solution is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good monitoring, increased efficiency, and helps lower expenses
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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 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.

What needs improvement?

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.
