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.
Chad Kliewer - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"This comprehensive approach can safeguard your organization from a wider range of threats, including ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, and zero-day exploits."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most important characteristic of our requirements was the implementation of disk encryption."
"It helps us to detect running malicious activity in our network and after the COVID situation, most users are working from home where it becomes very difficult for IT admin to maintain security so such type of solution definitely helps us to prevent cyber attacks."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."
"The solution is efficient."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."
"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The web filter service could be improved."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"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 product's reporting isn't great."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"What needs to improve in Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response and what I'd like to see in its next release is a centralized dashboard that allows you to view what is there, similar to what's on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: a beautiful display and reporting. Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response has to start with the compliance, the homepage, etc. Everything should be there and should be customizable. The options should be there. The tool is very good currently, but visibility for IT administrators is lacking and needs to be worked on."
"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"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 is cost effective."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The price is good."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"The pricing is manageable."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
