Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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 Antivirus is valuable due to its autonomous threat prevention system, which is consistently up-to-date and highly reliable with excellent performance at scale."
"It is a very reliable antivirus."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The dashboard is good."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
 

Cons

"I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved as I dislike the management interface because it's not intuitive, it lacks real-time reporting without configuring smart events, and it made administration less efficient."
"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."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"We would like to have the ability to stop and restart the service remotely, which is something that we can do easily with Symantec but have a hard time with when using Check Point."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
"I would like to see a better UI for admin functions."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"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."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The product could always be more secure."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"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 pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"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."
"I don't pay for a license."
