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 was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy, and I set it up and deployed it all from a mobile phone on a beach in about 20 minutes."
"Compared to its competitors, Check Point Harmony Endpoint has advantages in areas like EDR and behavioral detection."
"In many ways, it made us feel safe."
"The Management interface of the product is relatively user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"With Check Point Antivirus, we can ensure our user's machine is protected and securely connected to the network."
"This solution has become a great ally for the prevention of threats and security problems caused by viruses such as ransomware, and we are protected against threats, which is of great value."
"Its most outstanding feature is the power to manage everything from a dashboard, a window that is in the cloud, which allows us to manage it from anywhere in the world through any browser, from anywhere."
"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 product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full 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."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"In general, technical support has been helpful."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"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."
 

Cons

"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."
"We've had a bad taste based on this part of the service."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved as it is a bit clunky and not intuitive, especially when navigating around the more advanced settings or trying to interpret the logs, and the agent is resource intensive on some occasions."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"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."
"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."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"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

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"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."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"The price is good."
"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 is highly-priced."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
