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

"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."
"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."
"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"When sending emails to my colleagues, it detects any virus and blocks any spam that may be shared."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"For me, the technical support is good."
"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."
"It gives all the information in a clear response."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more automation."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM)."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"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."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."
"I feel it is a shame that I cannot create groups of groups with inheritance."
"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."
"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is manageable."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
