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

"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."
"Threat detection intelligence and high customization facilitation is the most popular aspect for customers and users."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by both improving efficiency and reducing incidents."
"They have pretty much everything you can ask for as far as features are concerned. That is because they know their market. They are focused on what they do and they do only that."
"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
 

Cons

"Two-factor authentication is missing from this solution."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"It's very basic from what I see. It's not a full MDM solution and it's restricted with other MDM provisions."
"Reporting and management could be improved."
"Sometimes the Check Point Harmony Endpoint performance slows down when we use scanning and update sessions."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment."
"Some users have reported high resource consumption, leading to performance issues on devices with limited hardware capability."
"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."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"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."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"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."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"The solution is too pricey."
"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."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
