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

"Threat detection intelligence and high customization facilitation is the most popular aspect for customers and users."
"We upgraded to Check Point to get this kind of protection at the endpoint level, and it covers firewall, availability, VPN, IP security, IPS, application control, URL filtering, antibot, antivirus, anti-spam, and SandBlast threat emulation and extraction."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. We had existing endpoints and it was an easy upgrade process. The interface board is also easy to use."
"Its most outstanding feature is the power to manage everything from a dashboard, a window that is in the cloud, which allows us to manage it from anywhere in the world through any browser, from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"The solution offers multiple features in one solution, along with data detection."
"Before we used this solution, our mail used to have a lot of spam and most of the time our main email account was blacklisted; now it works well, we are whitelisted by all organizations, including Google, and the security of our institution has really improved."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"We like how it can check for issues, including files and web browsers, as it is a full-stack solution for antivirus for personal use and it is pretty effective."
"I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
 

Cons

"Need more documentation."
"Once we installed a CP agent in our system, we found that it was consuming more memory. Even a normal configuration system can be hung."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."
"The only drawback is the integration process."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"Check Point should improve on their patch management by releasing patches more frequently, such as on a weekly basis, to stay ahead of potential vulnerabilities."
"They could improve across many areas, like bringing in more customization and reducing the cost further."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"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 solution can improve the security modules."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"The product could always be more secure."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"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."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"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."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"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."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"I don't pay for a license."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
