Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to protect employee devices from malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. It's another feature I need to use, around the different features in Check Point, and I search for complete protection with Check Point.

The best feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the ransomware protection in this case.

What makes the ransomware protection stand out is how fast and accurate ransomware detection is. It blocks threats in real time before they spread, and the automated response makes it easy to contain incidents without manual efforts.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has had a strong positive impact on my organization. Since we started using it, we've seen fewer security incidents, faster response times, and better protection against ransomware. Our response times to threats have improved by at least 50% compared to before. Manual investigation and containment could take hours, but now, automated alerts and remediation let us act within minutes. For example, a recent malware attempt was blocked and isolated in under five minutes without needing manual intervention.

The reporting feature in Check Point Harmony Endpoint is great as it is necessary for normative governance and audits. Harmony Endpoint integrates well with other existing security tools, such as the SIEM in Azure, specifically Azure Sentinel.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve with more flexible pricing options, faster updates, and better threat intelligence. Better documentation and more intuitive UI tweaks would also help streamline deployment and daily management.

While the platform is powerful, the user interface of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be more intuitive for non-technical users. Sometimes it takes extra clicks to find key settings or reports, and while support is responsive, faster resolution time would help during urgent incidents.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to ensure that endpoints are secured, such as laptops and mobile devices.

A specific example of how I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint to secure laptops and mobile devices is when employees leave the company and download third-party applications. Sometimes they share data via mobile, and in such cases, Check Point Harmony Endpoint helps to secure the data.

The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include complete visibility and a single dashboard where I can see everything for all employees.

Having complete visibility and a unified dashboard helps me day-to-day as it makes my job easier because I can see everything on a single dashboard, and it also saves me time since at a granular level, I can see it on my dashboard without having to go in-depth and search desk to desk.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization through visibility over the employees' use cases.

The visibility helps us identify what data should be given access on mobile, such as email services or any other services, and how much data should be traveled through mobile. We are currently figuring this out and will keep everything on-premises in the company with less data shared via endpoints.
