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 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."
"It helps us to detect running malicious activity in our network and after the COVID situation, most users are working from home where it becomes very difficult for IT admin to maintain security so such type of solution definitely helps us to prevent cyber attacks."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"It features strong AI-based threat prevention and security management, making it a solid choice for end users."
"With Check Point, we can implement security measures to control access to the network and systems, which helps prevent unauthorized access."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers are its comprehensive and proactive approach; these features stand out because it's very lightweight and has very good anti-ransomware protection."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization; we have significantly fewer false positives, it has reduced the number of confirmed infections we deal with, and it has given us better insight into endpoint activity so we now catch more threats at the point of entry."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"We like how it can check for issues, including files and web browsers, as it is a full-stack solution for antivirus for personal use and it is pretty effective."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"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 antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
"It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects."
"If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"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."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"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."
"The product could always be more secure."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The price is good."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."

"I don't pay for a license."
