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 Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"Check Point Antivirus automatically fixes pop-up ads and can effortlessly detect all kinds of threats while working in the background."
"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."
"The zero-day threat prevention is excellent."
"An incredibly helpful feature we use day-to-day is the automated remediation and rollback capability in Check Point Harmony Endpoint, as if a file is flagged as malicious or if ransomware activity is detected, the system can automatically isolate an endpoint and rollback changes to restore it to a safe state, and that's saved us from having to manually clean up or re-image devices after an incident."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has significantly strengthened the defense against malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats, and the unified agent ensures consistent protection across all endpoints."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"I would like to see a better UI for admin functions."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved if it were less resource-intensive because not all of our end-users have laptops with high resources available, such as 16 GB of RAM."
"One way Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved is through extended audit log retention, as one commonly cited limitation is the short retention period for audit logs, currently capped at around 14 days in some configurations, and extending that window would help security teams conduct deeper forensic investigations and meet compliance requirements more easily."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"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."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"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 is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The price is good."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little 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."
