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

"Check Point SandBlast Agent allows us to centralize all the security software used in a console and avoid, mainly, ransomware in the company."
"A secure work environment has contributed to increased ROI."
"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."
"This solution is consistently implemented as part of the organization's endpoint security solution, combining global threat intelligence and next-generation advanced threat prevention engines."
"Whoever wants their data secure, and they want to have peace of mind, make sure to go with the anti-malware capabilities on the SandBlast Agent."
"Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
"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."
"The overall features and data loss prevention makes it a valuable product in every way."
"We tried a few: Kaspersky, Trend Micro, we used McAfee, we used Norton; we tried them all on our entire fleet of computers, and we realized that in terms of ease of use and resource consumption, Norton is something that is acceptable to us."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"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."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
 

Cons

"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved because sometimes the agent feels heavy, causing slowness in our PC, so that can be improved."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved as it is a bit clunky and not intuitive, especially when navigating around the more advanced settings or trying to interpret the logs, and the agent is resource intensive on some occasions."
"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."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"In terms of improvement, the Endpoint Agent can be more lightweight so that older machines and laptops can easily handle its consumption, which would enhance the overall performance in our environment."
"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."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
"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."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too pricey."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"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."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
