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 security is its most valuable feature."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"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."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The dashboard is good."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
 

Cons

"The interface can feel complex at times; a simplified navigation would make daily use easier."
"We'd like to see a friendlier user interface."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"One way Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved is through extended audit log retention, as one commonly cited limitation is the short retention period for audit logs, currently capped at around 14 days in some configurations, and extending that window would help security teams conduct deeper forensic investigations and meet compliance requirements more easily."
"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."
"Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner."
"While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"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. 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."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"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."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"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 Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is too pricey."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"I don't pay for a license."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
