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.

Solid security and performance; overall a useful tool
We use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response for different in-depth solutions. It's a useful tool when you want everything in one module and you don't have a big budget for security. Other use cases are behavior detection, policy management, assessments, and patch fixings The most valuable…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
"The tool minimizes the impact of a breach with autonomous detection and response."
"The traditional anti-malware engine is valuable."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. We had existing endpoints and it was an easy upgrade process. The interface board is also easy to use."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"We can scale the solution."
"It is easy to manage."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it offers very strong encryption and acts as an antivirus product."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
 

Cons

"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"Installing Kaspersky is complex. It requires more work from system admins and takes almost one week to deploy, including integration and mapping with other solutions. You also have to configure Kaspersky EDR sandboxing then set up permissions for various teams and customers."
"The solution lacks DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"The price is good."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
