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

"The most valuable features are threat emulation and threat extraction, and despite some false positives, it gives quite good security for file downloading."
"From the administrative side, it is easy to manipulate and control, and that makes it great."
"My advice to anyone who is considering Check Point Endpoint Security is that it is a great solution that is very easy to deploy, and it really gives you visibility of what's happening on your endpoint."
"Check Point Antivirus goes in-depth and looks for threats and malware - including phishing attempts."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."
"A secure work environment has contributed to increased ROI."
"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 gives our organization and us a solution that we could manage while complying with internal and external policies and regulations."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"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 antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
 

Cons

"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"We would like to see the URL filtering functionality improved in this solution, so that we can exclude domains, rather than just single site URL's."
"Other than that, the only other thing I could complain about was that they did this process where they did some type of certificate update on the backend of all of their staff solutions. That created downtime for our VPN clients and they didn't notify us of the certificate update."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"We've noticed that the management console has some limitations as it's managed through the browser."
"Tech Support must be better."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"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."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"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. 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."
"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."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"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."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
