Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

We have it on our endpoints.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization.

The security is its most valuable feature.

Administratively, it's easy to control.

The stability of the solution is good.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

We used a consultant, and he was awesome.

We have not yet seen ROI.

The company had this solution. I got put in charge of it, so it was already in place. I decided to keep it.

From the administrative side, it is easy to manipulate and control, and that makes it great.

My primary use of this solution is to supplement my existing antivirus and enable/enhance my anti-ransomware capabilities.

Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature. 

It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects.

It's very stable. It is a production-grade solution.

It scales well. However, it lacks deployment functionality because other vendors, like Symantec and McAfee, are building that into their tools. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate their technical support as a nine. 

We previously used Symantec Endpoint. Our reason for switching is because Check Point offers the most secure and surefire way to tackle ransomware.

I was part of the decision-making process.

The initial setup was not straightforward. There is content available on the Check Point support site (on the Internet). This enabled us to deploy it out successfully.

We implemented it internally. 

We did not consider any other vendors during the evaluation process.

Don't think about getting the product. Just do it.

I would rate it a ten out of ten. No other product on the market is able to rollback a ransomware attack once it has started.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is used for protection.

The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM).

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for approximately one year.

The stability of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is good.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is scalable.

The support from Check Point Harmony Endpoint is excellent.

I rate the support from Check Point Harmony Endpoint a five out of five.

The initial setup of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is easy.

For 100 users of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, we only need one person for maintenance.

The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower.

I rate the price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint a four out of five.

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is antimalware and antivirus software, and it also has features such as in firewall autoresponse and autonotification, autoprotection, definition updates, and policies that we can apply.

We have medium-sized companies who use this solution.

My customers choose Check Point Harmony Endpoint because deployment is easier and because it's cost effective and more secure.

It is also a stable and scalable solution.

Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time. The technical team or any product team should liaise with us and help to deploy the solution to the first few customers so that we can roll out to the rest of the customers.

They need to improve the licensing process as well so that it is easier for the end user. At present, we have to wait one to two weeks to get a license, which is not productive. The process is not very smooth or convenient for the end user because Check Point Harmony Endpoint provides two login portals. One is for licensing, and the other is for management.

In the future, I would like to the management portal and the licensing portal be integrated or changed to a single sign-on because that will be good for both the panel and the user. If they can make it very convenient for deployment and monitoring, it would be good.

If we could get technical support in Singapore, then it will be helpful for our customers.

I've been dealing with this solution for two months.

It's deployed both on cloud and on-premises.

The product is very stable.

This solution is scalable. If you have a server or any software deployment tools, you can just push from the server so that the users don't even need to install it on their machines.

Technical support needs to improve. Their response time needs to improve too. Also, the only way to contact technical support is through email or international phone calls (for us in Singapore).

The initial setup is much easier compared to that of other solutions because it involves emailing and letting the agent download and then deploy the solution. It's lightweight, not using a lot of system resources compared to the rest of the products. It is the next generation of endpoint agents.

The deployment itself can take a day.

Maintenance is not required because it depends on the policy that you apply on the Check Point portal itself.

Compared to the cost of other solutions, Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective. The cost is not very cheap, but it's fair.

The licensing process is not smooth and can take one to two weeks.

I would recommend this solution because the protection works well, and it is cost is effective.

They also have cloud-based management, so it is like a SaaS service, and we don't need to buy a server to host it and to implement any hardware just for running the management of Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at eight.

The primary use case for this solution is security.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN.

I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner.

Two-factor authentication is missing from this solution.

I have been using this solution for more than twelve years.

The stability is very good.

This is a scalable solution.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We primarily use this product for the SandBlast module. It is used for sandboxing, malware detection, antivirus, and forensics blade.

The most valuable feature is forensics.

We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved. I believe that it is in the roadmap.

Other vendors have some non-security-related features in their endpoint protection solutions that should be implemented in this one.

I have been using Check Point Endpoint Security for approximately one year.

The stability is okay but if you have limited resources then it gets slow.

I have not used this product in a large deployment. Certainly, it scales, but my deployment is for less than 500 endpoints. Our company is really small, with just 25 people. As a partner, we also deploy it for our customers.

The people that work for the vendor are sometimes a little hard to get a hold of, but once you do get in contact with them, they get the problem fixed.

It is rather easy to set up. As a cloud solution, you can have it up and running in a day or less. We have defined different policies, which makes it easy to get up and running. After you, you can customize the setup.

My advice to anyone who is considering Check Point Endpoint Security is that it is a great solution that is very easy to deploy, and it really gives you visibility of what's happening on your endpoint. It helps you do deal with security issues pretty fast.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Public Cloud

We have implemented Check Point for endpoint protection.

We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware. It automatically deleted the ransomware and restored the encrypted files.

The most valuable feature of Check Point Endpoint Security is the SandBlast Agent.

One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption.

I'd like to see a patch management solution like Kaspersky has. That's the only feature that's missing.

We've been using Check Point Endpoint Security for about a year now.

Check Point Endpoint Security is very stable.

Check Point Endpoint Security is very scalable. There are 11 of us. You need a central management station with one person. Everybody here is using it already.

The technical support is good. If you log calls, they're very quick to respond.

We used Kaspersky. The Check Point Endpoint was new. We wanted to roll it out to our clients. We wanted to first try it in-house.

The initial setup is straightforward. It was very quick. It was probably, in total, about 40 minutes.

We are Check Point partners. We did it ourselves, in-house.

Our license is on a yearly basis. It just includes the licensing fee.

We did have a look at some other options like Symantec and McAfee. We found that the anti-ransomware component on the Check Point was better than the competitors.

My advice to others that are looking to implement Check Point Endpoint Security is that it's very secure. The only issue is that the disc encryption is bound to the hardware in the machine that it's in. It takes a bit long to decrypt the hard drive. That's the only issue. 

I'd give Check Point Endpoint Security about a nine out of ten.

Endpoint security protects networks from unauthorized programs, viruses and malware, and allows you to control the network by blocking devices that you do not want to have access to it, for example by file extensions or using the device’s ID.It also controls access and prevents theft of data by controlling access to storage devices that are portable. USB storage devices are also encrypted for security purposes.Centralized monitoring, logging and generation of reports and automatic protection of newly added computers to the network are other functions and capabilities of endpoint security.

It took me time to learn how to configure endpoint security. Getting one for our Unix-based systems was not easy because most programs available in the market are windows-based. Implementing security on the latest endpoint devices was not easy due to compatibility issues.

Endpoint security is implemented on client-server network model to ensure that end devices in the network are totally secure before having access to the network. Endpoint security can be implemented as a firewall or an anti-virus program that can be configured to include intrusion detection properties. It is also used in cloud computing and can be hosted or used on-site. It is a very flexible and efficient form of desktop security and I have used it for a very long time.
