Sooraj Makkancherrry - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"We can map the MITRE attack framework along with the Cyber Kill Chain completely."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"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."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
 

Cons

"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"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."
"We would like to make the documentation for more modern solutions like the Harmony family easier to find."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is good."
"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 bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
