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.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"The insight and visibility of the detection is good."
"The zero-day threat prevention is excellent."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"The failure rate is very low."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."

"It is very efficient. I like its simplicity."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions."
 

Cons

"The drawback associated with the product is related to macOS since some features in it don't work."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"Support needs improvement."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"The encryption feature could improve."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"When we connect to the solutions' website they block out our VPN connection. This causes us some difficulties."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too pricey."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"We have been using a yearly subscription and feel that pricing could be better. Perhaps, discounts could be given, during the renewal process, to those who have been customers for some time."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
