Featured Reviews

Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"Kaspersky is viable with ADR."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it offers very strong encryption and acts as an antivirus product."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
"The pricing is decent."
"The product is very easy to use."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
 

Cons

"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could improve some issues and add new security files."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"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 product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The solution is too pricey."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The price is good."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
