Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

User-friendly solution with good blocking
I mainly use Security Premium as an antivirus.  Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface. Security Premium's cost could be lower. I've been using Security Premium for a year. Security Premium is stable - I haven't faced any issues or bugs while using…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Heuristic detection scans for suspicious characteristics that can be found in unknown, new viruses and modified versions of known viruses."
"The anti-ransomware blade is great; it stops device encryption automatically and has caught hundreds of cases on client laptops."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"Since we implemented Checkpoint Endpoint Security we have had no infection thus far."
"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"For us, the most valuable feature of Check Point Antivirus is the real-time detection scan that monitors files as they are accessed."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint (endpoint antivirus) has helped our organization by preventing further damage to the computers and the network by detecting and taking appropriate action (quarantine, clean, delete) to viruses and malware."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The dashboard is good."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
 

Cons

"I choose nine out of ten because apart from the licensing cost, everything is great."
"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent."
"There is no real scalability."
"While the platform is powerful, the user interface of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be more intuitive for non-technical users."
"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."
"Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"The product could always be more secure."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"The price is good."
"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."
"I don't pay for a license."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
