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

"The Antivirus blade has improved our organization in several ways, including having better global security against viruses and malware, having better visibility and protection regarding files that go in and out of our company, offering better scaling and integration with other security products, and probably offering better threat management."
"The solution offers multiple features in one solution, along with data detection."
"It is one of the best antivirus applications on the market currently."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"Thanks to Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the threat was immediately detected and contained before it could spread or compromise any data."
"Check Point antivirus is a one-stop solution for managing endpoint security solutions along with providing advanced security features to prevent malware attacks."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"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 internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
 

Cons

"I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint over this solution."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"One area that requires improvement is the amount of audit logs the system can save, as it is currently limited to fourteen days."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"We would like to see better guides in the future with more concrete examples of the best practices."
"There is room for improvement in detecting more sophisticated and emerging threats."
"Some users have reported high resource consumption, leading to performance issues on devices with limited hardware capability."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"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."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"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."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
