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

"Harmony Endpoint is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect the remote workforce from today’s complex threat landscape, preventing the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"Since we implemented Checkpoint Endpoint Security we have had no infection thus far."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"Endpoint protection is valuable. Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"Scalability is a huge factor; the need for no downtime is key for us, and this solution offers that, as we can patch and reboot firewalls while keeping connections running 100% of the time and no one even notices."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"From the administrative side, it is easy to manipulate and control, and that makes it great."
"The ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
 

Cons

"While the platform is powerful, the user interface of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be more intuitive for non-technical users."
"It may be interesting to improve this solution against zero-day attacks, as they happen very frequently and are clearly a severe threat."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"The initial setup and configuration should be simplified."
"Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."
"Support needs improvement. Currently, support is primarily via email, which leads to longer response times."
"I would like to see a better UI for admin functions."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"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 do not find it to be scalable."
"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."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"The product could always be more secure."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"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."
"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 licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"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."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"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."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"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."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
