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

"Before we used this solution, our mail was blacklisted. Now we are white listed by all organizations, including Google. Also the security of our institution has really improved."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"We can map the MITRE attack framework along with the Cyber Kill Chain completely."
"It has improved our performance and deployment."
"Center Management"
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"This solution is stable."
"The product is quite scalable."
"The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics."
"The interface is friendly."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"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."
"I would like to see more automation."
"The admin console must be a little bit easier."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"Some threats were able to bypass the solution's detection."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
