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

"We can map the MITRE attack framework along with the Cyber Kill Chain completely."
"The set of features is quite comprehensive."
"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 anti-ransomware blade is great; it stops device encryption automatically and has caught hundreds of cases on client laptops."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"We find the zero-day protection to be an extremely valuable feature of this solution."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint gives our organization and us a solution that we could manage while complying with internal and external policies and regulations."
"At the moment we are very satisfied and confident with Check Point."
"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 internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"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 ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface."
"I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved, as the documentation is not intuitive."
"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved in a few small areas, such as making the initial setup and onboarding more intuitive for new teams, providing more flexible custom reporting options, and reducing the performance impact on older devices."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"I would like to see more automation."
"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."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"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."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"The product could always be more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"I don't pay for a license."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
