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

"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"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."
"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"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."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."
"If you open up an application or a web browser, it puts a container in a sandbox area. So if there's some malicious code, it'll stick there. It also has way better protection for ransomware because it uses heuristics that are pretty effective. We've done a lot of tests with live malware, and it works really well."
"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."
"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"I would like to see more automation."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out."
"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"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."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
"The locking and backup capabilities of the solution can be improved."
 

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."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"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."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"The product is pricey."
"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."
"The price of this product should be lower."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"It's a cost-effective solution"
"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."
"The tool's pricing is not very expensive and falls within the market price. The solution's licensing is on a yearly basis."
