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.
Kiarash Heydari - PeerSpot reviewer
Solid security and performance; overall a useful tool
My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives. This service is painful for network administrators. I would like for this solution to better integrate with other solutions, especially with our network solution. I would also like for the support response time to be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"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."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"It is easy to manage."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"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."
"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."
"Tech Support must be better."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could improve some issues and add new security files."
"The solution could always be more secure."
