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.

Great features, good patch management, and useful ransomware protection
I also have experience with Sophos and Kaspersky. The main difference is that some features are not available in Kaspersky. And, for example, the patch management part is not included in Sophos. On the Kaspersky side, they have a patch management part. However, we need to purchase an additional option to enable that feature. With Comodo Protection, patch management is already included with the product, and we don't need to buy it separately. Also, the main advantage is performance. When we implemented Sophos on the endpoint, the CPU utilization went higher. When we installed Comodo, the memory of the CPU utilization is very low. We can implement Comodo from XP and SP3 to the latest operating system. However, with Kaspersky or Sophos, they are not supported for that or Windows 10. Comodo is supporting Windows XP SP3 and all our operating systems. That said, the Sophos Intercept X Advanced option has a web filtering part, or integration. Comodo has only basic filtering, and web filtering is there. That means we can do the URL web addresses and block and allow the connection and that's it with Comodo. Comodo does have a separate product for that, Comodo Secure Internet, where we can configure and filter all the web filtering parts. That would be an extra solution at an extra cost.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"Harmony Endpoint is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect the remote workforce from today's complex threat landscape."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."
"The most valuable feature of Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is its ability to provide ransomware protection."
"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."
 

Cons

"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"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."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"The solution's online documentation needs to be fine-tuned. It is not up to which solution currently has. There is some inconsistency in the knowledge present. I would like to see MDM in the solution's future releases."
"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"One is the basic license, which only gives you threat prevention. In the second one, you will get port protection. In the complete license, you will get all the licenses, like anti-malware, sandboxing, port protection, and all the licenses. It is very easy to deploy the tool."
"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."
"The product is pricey."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"I rate Comodo’s pricing a four out of ten."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."
"The price of this product should be lower."
"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The product can be considered fairly cheap."
