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

"With the sandblast tool, coverage is made on the equipment that we provide (laptops) and employees can carry out their activities from home."
"The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has deployed comprehensive security that prevents any external attacks that may be a threat to our internal policies."
"A secure work environment has contributed to increased ROI."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has significantly strengthened the defense against malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats, and the unified agent ensures consistent protection across all endpoints."
"After introducing Harmony Endpoint we have seen the incident levels going down to close to zero."
"Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"The dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"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."
"I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc."
 

Cons

"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-premise or as a SaaS."
"There are some pain points with automated rules in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. In the initial stages, you sometimes have to do fine-tuning because you get false positives, resulting in users being unable to connect."
"I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"There is room for improvement in detecting more sophisticated and emerging threats."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment."
"My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"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."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"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."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not 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."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
