Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency
I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.

Has a good dashboard and is stable, scalable, and easy to implement
The dashboard is good During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved. I've been using this solution for four or five years. It is a stable solution. Norton Security Premium is scalable, and we are expanding our license. The architects and…

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."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
 

Cons

"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"Support needs improvement."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"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."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"The product could always be more secure."
"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."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"The price is good."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"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."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"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."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"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."
