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

"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"A very good and robust antivirus solution."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"Threat detection intelligence and high customization facilitation is the most popular aspect for customers and users."
"What stands out to me most about the best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers are the data cost management features and strong policy that empowers user devices with central management and visibility."
"Regular email alerts are beneficial."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
 

Cons

"The user interface is outdated."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"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."
"It is hard to manage."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"We would also like the application control module to be further developed in future versions to include applications commonly used or maintained by Check Point in order to be able to configure blocking policies more quickly."
"It's not easy to investigate an incident that you find in the company. Users often face trouble when downloading files, so it is very slow in terms of how it works."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for 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."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The solution is too pricey."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
