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 Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing successful malware and ransomware incidents, giving us much fewer infections to deal with, and it has also freed up security team time by catching threats automatically, allowing us to focus more on proactive tasks than on cleanup tasks, which is the main improvement for our team."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"Scalability is a huge factor; the need for no downtime is key for us, and this solution offers that, as we can patch and reboot firewalls while keeping connections running 100% of the time and no one even notices."
"Since deploying Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I have seen a clear reduction in security incidents, such as phishing and malware infections."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a strong tool for preventing malicious traffic and threats from entering the environment."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The dashboard is good."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
 

Cons

"While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments."
"Technical support could be better."
"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."
"The integration challenges with Check Point Harmony Endpoint involve needing support with other third-party applications that I wish it worked with more seamlessly."
"We've noticed that the management console has some limitations as it's managed through the browser."
"Check Point Antivirus' performance could be faster. It needs to include app-based support to upload screenshots of issues. It needs to add timely and regular updates. The dashboards and reporting features need to offer more efficiency."
"I would recommend Microsoft Defender for Endpoint over this solution."
"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."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"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."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
 

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."
"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 cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"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 product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"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."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"I don't pay for a license."
