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 Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"By acquiring this tool, companies will have a robust and reliable solution for endpoint protection."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint benefits a lot to organizations by providing endpoint protection."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by helping to reduce incidents by catching threats early before users even noticed them, which saved us time and lowered risk across the board."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"Since implementing Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I have noticed a positive impact on our organization as we receive multiple detections of attack activities in the log section, showing how the solution protects our network."
"When I'm using the solution in my personal space, I can see that it secures my laptop, it works fast, and it actually does what I want."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"The dashboard is good."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
 

Cons

"We need to ensure that the USB device will not be available until the scan has been completed, however, this may represent a malfunction when using other tools such as Rufus, as, by blocking access to USB drives, Harmony Endpoint will block access to these drives, thus Rufus will not be properly detecting USB drives and therefore it cannot operate properly."
"One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface."
"Sometimes the antivirus updates fail. We don't understand why because sometimes it fails but the next time you try it goes well and the firewall always has access to the internet. We don't understand why it sometimes fails."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"The pricing for Check Point Antivirus is a bit higher compared to other vendors or standalone antivirus options, and my request to the company is to consider reducing the licensing costs."
"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."
"We would like to see better guides in the future with more concrete examples of the best practices."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The product could always be more secure."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"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."
"They say Norton Security Premium is an all-in-one solution, but we don't know exactly what's in it, e.g. they didn't make an effort to explain the difference between a virus scan and a ransomware scan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"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."
"The solution is too pricey."
"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."
"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."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"I don't pay for a license."
"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."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
