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

"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."
"They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability."
"It is a very reliable antivirus."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"The dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
 

Cons

"Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats."
"Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility."
"When there are many devices, it is more costly since each device requires unique login credentials."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"I choose nine out of ten because apart from the licensing cost, everything is great."
"Even if they are using minimal applications, the endpoint agent sometimes causes very high CPU utilization."
"In terms of improvement, the Endpoint Agent can be more lightweight so that older machines and laptops can easily handle its consumption, which would enhance the overall performance in our environment."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"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."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"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."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
 

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."
"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."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"The solution is too pricey."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"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."
