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.

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

"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."
"Harmony Endpoint is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect the remote workforce from today's complex threat landscape."
"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."
"It gives all the information in a clear response."
"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered."
 

Cons

"Tech Support must be better."
"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 updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"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 only drawback is the integration process."
"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."
"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"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."
"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."
"Cybereason does not have sandbox functionality."
 

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."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"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 tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The solution is too pricey."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"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."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"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."
"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."
