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.

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

"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"The insight and visibility of the detection is good."
"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."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"It offers very good security protection."
"I can easily manage over 300 computers antivirus from my desk."
"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
 

Cons

"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"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."
"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."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"We would also like the application control module to be further developed in future versions to include applications commonly used or maintained by Check Point in order to be able to configure blocking policies more quickly."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"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."
"I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
"This solution would be improved if it were more compatible with Windows Server. There is not a client for Windows Server, like for Windows Workstation, so there are a lot of things you cannot control from the local system, or from the desktop directly. You have to control everything from the policy server, not from the client's side. The interface is kind of light, and it's not good—it could be more user-friendly."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"The solution could use better reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price is good."
"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."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"I don't remember exactly what the licenses cost, but it's not too expensive. It's affordable, especially when you are dealing with on-prem. However, I don't know about the new prices because we are in the process of buying support."
"Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"There is an annual license required to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
