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

"During a ransomware attack that targeted several laptops, Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately isolated the affected device and blocked the malicious process before it could spread."
"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."
"It has zero-day attack protection."
"I came to the realization that this was the best solution for the need and the budget I had available and it hasn't disappointed me since."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"Implementing a fully functioning anti-virus solution gave the company the ability to defend against almost all threats that occur either on or off the network."
"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"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."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
 

Cons

"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."
"I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint over this solution."
"We would like to see better guides in the future with more concrete examples of the best practices."
"Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"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."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"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."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too pricey."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"The price is good."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"I don't pay for a license."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"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."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
