Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious
The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."
"The solution is efficient."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"For me, the technical support is good."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."
"The interface is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"Tech Support must be better."
"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."
"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."
"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"Cybereason does not have sandbox functionality."
"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."
"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"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."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"The pricing is manageable."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
