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

"Check Point Antivirus is the best-in-class security solution for all kinds of enterprises and IT servers and clouds."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum."
"The new clients seem to be faster and more stable, and everyone in the company can appreciate that they can VPN and connect faster with more resilience, as the client will even reconnect on its own after an internet outage, which is amazing."
"The Check Point SandBlast solution, also known as Harmony Endpoint, is able to detect, block, monitor, and respond to any malicious activity that happens on the endpoint."
"The zero-day threat prevention is excellent."
"Check Point Antivirus is the best antivirus tool in the market currently."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"When I'm using the solution in my personal space, I can see that it secures my laptop, it works fast, and it actually does what I want."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
 

Cons

"We've had a bad taste based on this part of the service."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"Creating tailored reports for different departments or compliance needs in Check Point Harmony Endpoint takes extra effort."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"The documentation of Check Point Harmony Endpoint needs improvement because it is very hard to find on the internet and it is not intuitive."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"Some users have reported high resource consumption, leading to performance issues on devices with limited hardware capability."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"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."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"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."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"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."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"I don't pay for a license."
"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."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
