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 Antivirus has continuously scanned each and every file before reaching our network, and this feature gives full security confidence to feel safe from malware and ransomware attacks."
"The product has been proven 100% effective with us; we haven't had anything related to any threats passing to us for the past five years."
"The product has been stable and reliable."
"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."
"It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"Before we used this solution, our mail used to have a lot of spam and most of the time our main email account was blacklisted; now it works well, we are whitelisted by all organizations, including Google, and the security of our institution has really improved."
"The Check Point SandBlast solution, also known as Harmony Endpoint, is able to detect, block, monitor, and respond to any malicious activity that happens on the endpoint."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"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."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good 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."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see a friendlier user interface."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved, as the documentation is not intuitive."
"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."
"They could improve across many areas, like bringing in more customization and reducing the cost further."
"I would suggest that the Check Point team always allocates an SME to all the vendors before implementation."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The product may take some time to navigate at first but apart from that the log ingesting and working on getting a client installed may take some time."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"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."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"The product could always be more secure."
"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."
 

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."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"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."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"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."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"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 licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
