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.

Excellent anti-ransomware protection, zero-day phishing protection, and web browsing filtering
We used to use other security solutions (Windows Defender and Kaspersky), however, we had security incidents that affected us (viruses and ransomware) and they were very difficult to identify or when we did identify them it was already a long time after the incident occurred and we did not know the cause and therefore affected the operability of our company considerably. Since we made the decision to move to Check Point Harmony we have had greater visibility of everything that happens on our devices and take a preventive approach rather than a reactive strategy, in addition to being more confident that we have Check Point protecting us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"The Management interface of the product is relatively user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"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."
"The initial setup is very easy."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The stability could be improved."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"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."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"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."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"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."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"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."
"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."
"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."
