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

"Checkpoint antivirus blade has improved our customers security postures by enhancing their malware detection, reduced risk of cyber attacks and also by stopping threats before they reach users by scanning files at the network gateway."
"We can say that Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a fast solution, easy to install, simple to manage, and, above all, when in use, it is not very intrusive with users' daily activities."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"The software is quite simple to use, yet still efficient."
"The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
 

Cons

"Customer support varies depending on the person handling the case. Some support staff are effective, while others are not as strong."
"One of the most frequent problems that Check Point Antivirus presents is that some antivirus updates fail continuously."
"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."
"My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"Some users have reported high resource consumption, leading to performance issues on devices with limited hardware capability."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"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."
"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."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"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."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The solution is too pricey."
"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 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."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not 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."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
