Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

We use the product at the perimeter. Since we do not have a branch, only one area is protected by the solution. The networks we have are in a compact area.

I love the product’s flexibility. We can manage the blade without changing the protocols. It is easy to manage how the tool runs the network. The product is easy to deploy. It’s a good firewall. It supports most of our OS, such as Linux and Windows. We can use it even on mobile devices. The browser and data protection are good. The solution has good threat intelligence features.

The network monitoring features must be improved. If my ISP says that they gave me 300 Mbps, I would like to see where the network is used the most and where we are underutilizing it. I need features to monitor the bandwidth. I want features to monitor the upload and download speeds.

I have been using the solution for the last three years.

The technical support is good. I was working on some backups of a hospital management system to the cloud. Check Point provided us with very good support.

Positive

The pricing is very high. The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years.

I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

We deployed this product to harmonize our products and have one central access point. 

It helps us to set security features that protect the computing devices from malware attacks. 

It gives me an opportunity to manage applications that works on various workflows centrally. 

Integration with all employee devices has enabled my team to monitor the security situation and put in place emergency measures in case of any threat. 

Team members can connect their working devices from a central networking connection that is secure and reliable.

The high-level security provided by Check Point Harmony Endpoint has given my team all the required tools for setting up a central network control platform. It provides solutions to challenges that affect workflows slowing down performance. 

There is improved business work processes agility that keeps all the sectors functional. 

There has been improved security compliance and risk management in all the business transactions that we undertake since we deployed this application. 

Laptops and mobile devices that operate within the enterprise have been secured, and teams can easily focus on more productive roles without fear of being attacked.

Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information. 

The cloud management system provides security to hybrid information and saved files. 

The customer support services are efficient and always reliable when reached for any consultation. 

It supports operating systems that are deployed in computers and mobile devices. 

New users familiarize themselves easily with the operation of UI since it has flexible dashboards. 

The faster data processing capability saves time and costs for accomplishing given tasks.

It has full performance capability to execute the given duties. 

It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions. 

The cost of deployment varies with the existing working conditions and the organization's size. 

The cloud networking infrastructure can be attacked if there are limited security features and poor monitoring capacity from the IT team. 

The overall performance impressed my team. Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the sure deal for enterprise security coverage and computing device control.

I've used the solution for ten months.

It is stable in the provision of reliable security.

I am impressed by the performance of this product.

The customer support staff is ever supportive.

Positive

I have not used a similar solution previously.

The initial setup procedure was straightforward.

There was high-level expertise from the vendor team during implementation.

There has been a positive ROI since we deployed it.

The setup cost and licensing terms vary according to enterprise size.

I evaluated several options. This platform was the best.

I recommend the implementation of this platform in other organizations.

We're using this for our endpoint protection in terms of antivirus and malware protection, disk encryption, and URL and application filtering on our client computers.

We integrate the VPN feature with Check Point's firewall allowing our clients to access internal resources with security policies enforced and controlled.

The reports given by the software are also a benefit since it allows better management and control of access to all our client computers at any time from anywhere.

The web console is also nice.

We have all our information and policies on one platform for all the features, and we can assign our technicians' several permissions and roles on the product.

Our customers are also better protected, and we can guarantee that security policies are enforced and compliant in each one of them.

Security has been a significant focus for us, and Harmony Endpoint, together with the entire Check Point ecosystem, made it easy for our organization to enforce such policies.

We value the URL and app filtering of the platform.

The URL filtering and application control are very helpful since it's typically hard to block productivity loss apps/URLs on clients when abroad. Harmony made it easy to control the usage of the company resources and bandwidth.

Disk encryption is a nice feature if you don't have other systems. However, since we've already had BitLocker deployed, we saved a few dollars on this licensing type.

The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options.

Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant. URL filtering should allow for time-based rules, for example, don't allow media streaming during work hours yet allow it on weekends.

The same applies to application control. When in our headquarters, we can solve this on the Check Point Firewall. However, the Harmony client does not support this type of condition, and we had to find a "middle ground" between policies and usability for our clients.

We've been using this solution for two years.

We did use Microsoft Defender. It lacked features, and therefore we moved away from the solution.

I'd advise users to try to implement BitLocker for disk encryption since it's free.

We did not evaluate other options. 

We use the product for endpoint protection against viruses, malware and ransomware technologies.

The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection.

The price of the product could be more friendly. 

I have been using the solution for one year now. 

We have had no problems with stability so far. 

The solution isn't very scalable, it's a PC, and it's all endpoint. 

Currently, there are 2000 users of this product in my company. This number can change in the future due to company growth. Next year, each employee at the company will have a notebook and each notebook will have this software installed in it. If the headcount increases, the license will increase accordingly.

We previously used McAfee for endpoint protection, it was a corporate decision to switch. This could have been due to a cost or technology issue. 

Installation is straightforward, it took our IT department 20 minutes. 

The product has very fast deployment, as we roll out the product in batches. These batches can vary between one and hundreds. This number depends on how the team schedules the roll-out, as each roll-out is customized to match the bandwidth requirements.

We used an in-house team to implement the solution. 

We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs. 

I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint over this solution. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

It's a very good solution and it is a complete endpoint security solution. We get almost all the features we need, including features like Threat Emulation/Threat Extraction, Antibot, Anti- Exploit, Anti Ransomware protection, UBA, Zero-day Phishing protection, Behavioral Guard,  Encryption, VPN, compliance, and many more. It's well integrated with Check Point Threat Cloud, as well as other Check Point solutions. The product provides complete visibility of threats with forensics analysis. There is direct Integration with all well-known SIEM solutions as well as the support of standard SIEM integration features.  

It improves our organization's security posture as well as endpoint performance. The single-agent has multiple features and we have no need to use multiple solutions for endpoint security. The required features are supported by Harmony Endpoint. During the pandemic, one of the major requirements is to connect corporate resources in a secure manner. It helps us with secure connectivity.

During the pandemic, the threat landscape has increased as every endpoint is an entry point for any threat and it is critical to secure. Every endpoint with advanced/latest technologies and Harmony Endpoints provides the same level of safety.

A single dashboard provides complete visibility over endpoint security.

The features available are all good. One of the best features is the Ransomware Protection Feature. It is great and is a way to protect endpoints. It protects as well as it saves original file copies to prevent data loss.

Zero-Day Anti-phishing detects phishing sites in real-time and prevents users from any data and other losses.

Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports. Threat prevention with an included detailed threat landscape is very good.

The VPN connectivity and compliance check are also very good features. 

Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required. I recommend adding this feature in an upcoming release as it will provide complete visibility of endpoint vulnerabilities. 

Endpoint Patching is another good feature that could be added and is required to mitigate vulnerabilities. 

Currently, the DLP Module is not available and it is one of the requirements from an endpoint perspective. It would be good to add in an upcoming release.

There needs to be improved integration with the on-premises/Azure AD.  

Software deployment needs to be added.

I've used this product for the last one and a half years.

It's a very stable product. It's easy to deploy and manage.

It's very scalable.

It's a good and technical team. They are very supportive and any help required by the development team receives some form of resolution.

Yes, we used different products earlier, however, due to the fact that the feature available is more advanced here than in others and there are lots of add-on features, we prefer this.

It's straightforward and not complex.

We implemented the product with the help of OEM and our in-house team. There were no major challenges during implementation or even in day-to-day operations.

A single Administrator can manage the complete solution. It's easy to deploy and does not require any additional effort. We're able to have multiple solutions within a single solution.

I strongly advise others use Harmony Endpoint as the deployment, integration, and setup cost less than others.

Yes, we evaluated other products as well but with respect to feature price and integration availability, we selected this product.

It's a very good product. Over the past year, the team has been improving it day by day and we're now more focused on endpoint security with the latest features on offer.

The platform is our anti-ransomware agent, where it helps us prevent any cyber-attack. We find it intuitive, as it unpacks files and decrypts any hidden malware, thus enabling us to work in a safe environment and keep our own data, as well as that of our customers, safe and secure.

Our work environment is the banking industry and on a daily basis, we handle lots of customer data. This makes us a potential target for malware attacks but with the platform in place, we are able to shun all of that.                       

The platform works on its own and it does not need to have an assigned employee to monitor how it's working, thus bringing efficiency into our company.

It fit well into our environment, allowing us to fight any attempt to corrupt computer resources.

The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry.

Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform.

In some areas, the user-communities that ought to help are not readily available. Perhaps in the future, the vendor ought to send a sales representative or a knowledgeable person to each buyer to assess how they are using the platform. In case of any challenges, they should help them in using the platform efficiently.

I have been using Check Point SandBlast Agent for more than five years. 

This platform has been reliable, through and through, since we started using it.

The vendor offers reliable customer support services to users who may be stuck somewhere in using the platform. This ensures that one continues to receive stable services from the platform.

With the changes produced by the pandemic, we needed to secure the equipment inside and outside the organization. That is why we looked for a solution that would protect business equipment, providing a robust security line and where perimeter protection for users is established. Those working from home or anywhere else are not compromised with this product on-side, and these users are connecting easily. By having the experience of using the tool, we realize that it secures and protects us from all kinds of attacks.

We have realized that it helps us with the prevention of ransomware, malware and identification of suspicious connections. It allowed us to have a centralized administration panel which makes it easier for us to view and manage each of the devices and the alerts found or notified by each of them. devices, creating rules and allowing us to protect the activities carried out by users. We can say that Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a fast solution, easy to install, simple to manage, and, above all, when in use, it is not very intrusive with users' daily activities.

One of the characteristics is the detection of anti-ransomware, which helps us to protect our equipment and data against any eventuality. This solution detects and analyzes any attempt to encrypt the data. If they are encrypted, the same solution stores and restores a version of the compromised data. 

Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Among other features, this Endpoint Behavioral Guard identifies families of malware, file-less attacks, and other generic malicious behaviors that are the most common attacks when you are in unsafe networks without a protection solution.

It is one of the best, however, with respect to its support on iOS and Android, it can improve a little more.

Something worth mentioning is the need for support in Spanish and better representation for teams in the Latin American area, where there is a growing demand for these IT services and new technologies.

Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated, and they should improve their design.

Let people try it, and it will quickly remote users. 

I've used the solution for two years.

It is quick to configure and easy to manage. Therefore it is really scalable. 

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The issue of licensing is something that I don't like. The licenses are per package, not per unit, and that in some cases affects the acquisition of the solution.

We did not evaluate other options. 

We primarily use the solution for anti-malware. We installed it on around 300 systems. Since we required some application to safeguard ourselves in this situation of work from home, so we were evaluating Antimalware products. 

After some research, we finalized Check Point and took a demo. The product seems fine as per our scenario and fits current conditions. We were evaluating it for work-from-home situations. it had a multifeatured tool that helps in safeguarding the current digital attack vector for organizations of all types.

It helps in safeguarding our infra from malicious attacks. However, initially, we faced lots of challenges while implementation as the vendor who was implementing it made blunders, which resulted in chaos for the organization. 

Our team worked almost 24/7 for 3 to 4 weeks to resolve the issues. We haven't requested the encryption feature, yet they implemented it. Our laptops were already encrypted, so it started decryption and re-encryption, which was a nightmare for us. We are still facing a few challenges for which we couldn't find any reason for the issues we've since found that were not there before installation.

We found all features valuable - other than the encryption since we were already using that feature. Since we required some application to safeguard ourselves in this work from home situation. We were evaluating anti-malware products specifically. 

There can be scenarios where this encryption feature will be applicable and fruitful if it is implemented with proper planning and organized with respect to a particular organization. There have to be proper requirements gathering and a plan to work effectively.

There are improvements required in terms of accuracy. It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same.

There can be scenarios where specific planning will be required before even giving thought to implementing it into an organization - be it small, medium, or large. Everything needs to be organized with respect to each particular organization. There has to be proper requirement gathering and a plan for the SOW to work accordingly. 

I would suggest that the Check Point team always allocates an SME to all the vendors before implementation as it will improve the first impression. In my case, I had pretty much faced disaster after implementation that I would not suggest anybody go with the product.

The product needs to improve the security infra.

I've been using the solution for three months.

In terms of stability, I would rate it at a five out of ten. There were issues like once a version was installed and was not working properly, even the checkpoint team couldn't uninstall it and as a result, we had to format the system. few cases were reported for software installed but was not visible in the control panel.

The scalability is good.

Our ROI has been neutral.

Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options.

We did evaluate another solution. However, I can't reveal the name.
