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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."

"The zero-day threat prevention is excellent."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."

"The installation is really flawless. It is easy to install."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is forensics."

"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."

"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats."

"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken."

"It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment."

"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."

"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."

"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."

"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."

More CylanceOPTICS pros

Cons

"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."

"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."

"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."

"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."

"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."

"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."

"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."

"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."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"The detection component is something that they have to work on."

"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console."

"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected."

"The product's initial setup process could be easy."

"Too many false positives are reported."

"It takes more time to investigate or dig up and understand what's going on."

"The tools are ineffective. It flags a lot of things. To give you an example, it detected Google Chrome and blocked the user's access to it. That it mistook for malicious, which turned out to be a false positive."

"The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions"

More CylanceOPTICS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."

"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."

"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."

"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."

"The pricing is reasonable."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the pricing a three out of five."

"CylanceOPTICS is probably priced equal to other EDRs in the market."

"The pricing for CylanceOPTICS is very good; I would rate it around a nine on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the lowest. It's one of the most affordable options I've seen."

"We pay for the number of endpoints we have and that is about it. On a monthly basis, the licensing cost is $55 per user."
