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.

Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The remote support is good."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
 

Cons

"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"We would like to have the ability to stop and restart the service remotely, which is something that we can do easily with Symantec but have a hard time with when using Check Point."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"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."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"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."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"Cynet is cheap."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
