Stable but bad technical support, and an out of date database

Cost-effective with real-time and proactive detection
While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments. It is highly advisable to create multiple child logins to operate the running of the software across multiple interfaces in one go without any trouble. Also, it is advised to incorporate the features like round-the-clock, 24/7/365 scanning of the system in the background without disturbing the routine front-end work. This ensures no lapses or threat entry into the system at all.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."
"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It has zero-day attack protection."
"This solution helps make sure that we can patch and keep security going without having to talk to everyone for change management."
"It is one of the fastest malware prevention software with advanced upgrades to have 360-degree threat detection and system remediation."
"It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus."
"It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data."
"The simplicity of management and remote assistance for the users make it a smooth experience, and administrators can easily handle tasks remotely."
"It has a customer-savvy interface and easily customizable as per client and business requirements."
 

Cons

"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."
"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."
"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."
"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."
"More applications should be supported."
"It may be interesting to improve this solution against zero-day attacks, as they happen very frequently and are clearly a severe threat."
"Technical support could be better."
"An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher."
"One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface."
"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."
"A certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
