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

"Thanks to Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the threat was immediately detected and contained before it could spread or compromise any data."
"For us, the most valuable feature of Check Point Antivirus is the real-time detection scan that monitors files as they are accessed."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"The tool comes with an in-built AI feature, which makes file management easier. It also secures the network from viruses, malware, and phishing attacks."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"So far, our security has been 100 percent, we have not felt that a data breach has happened, so we are pretty happy with SandBlast Agent."
"It helps us to detect running malicious activity in our network and after the COVID situation, most users are working from home where it becomes very difficult for IT admin to maintain security so such type of solution definitely helps us to prevent cyber attacks."
"When sending emails to my colleagues, it detects any virus and blocks any spam that may be shared."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"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 ransomware protection that they have now is worth considering."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
 

Cons

"We need to ensure that the USB device will not be available until the scan has been completed, however, this may represent a malfunction when using other tools such as Rufus, as, by blocking access to USB drives, Harmony Endpoint will block access to these drives, thus Rufus will not be properly detecting USB drives and therefore it cannot operate properly."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"Reporting and management could be improved."
"Check Point services and antivirus solutions can improve their customer offerings by offering various discounts in their subscription model and they can also reconsider their pricing model as well."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The product could always be more secure."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"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."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"I don't pay for a license."
