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

"It has significantly bolstered our overall cybersecurity posture."
"One of the characteristics of this antivirus that is valuable is the detection of ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"The set of features is quite comprehensive."
"A secure work environment has contributed to increased ROI."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"It is one of the best security solutions in the market today."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The dashboard is good."
 

Cons

"Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher."
"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."
"We'd like to see better integration with other security tools."
"Support could be improved. I'd give them a 7/10 before COVID, and maybe a 5/10 post-COVID."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"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."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"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."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"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."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"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."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
