Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency
I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"In my experience with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the best features it offers are forensics and incident analysis, which have helped us, and among them, anti-phishing is one of the most used features."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers top tier security, AI-powered threat prevention, and strong scalability, which stand out as the best features."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
 

Cons

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"My main concern remains the unexpected restarts of the device and the deleted logs, which the support team resolved by recommending firmware updates, but I believe this is not a sustainable solution."
"We would like to have the ability to stop and restart the service remotely, which is something that we can do easily with Symantec but have a hard time with when using Check Point."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"In terms of improvement, the Endpoint Agent can be more lightweight so that older machines and laptops can easily handle its consumption, which would enhance the overall performance in our environment."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The solution is too pricey."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
