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

"The Management interface of the product is relatively user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"What I really appreciate about Check Point Harmony Endpoint is its integration with ThreatCloud AI, which is connected to more than 50 million endpoints globally and includes Harmony Browse, Next Generation Firewall, and CloudGuard."
"It provides encryption for operating systems and protects browsers against malware."
"The virus detection models orchestrate real-time monitoring of data with reliable reporting information."
"With the sandblast tool, coverage is made on the equipment that we provide (laptops) and employees can carry out their activities from home."
"The real-time threat detection in Check Point Harmony Endpoint helped us catch a ransomware attack early; a user downloaded a file from a spoofed site, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately flagged it, quarantined the file, and alerted our support team, preventing the malware from spreading and saving us from a large downtime."
"With Check Point Antivirus, we can ensure our user's machine is protected and securely connected to the network."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"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."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard is good."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
 

Cons

"I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved by reducing false positives."
"I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"In my case, I had pretty much faced disaster after implementation that I would not suggest anybody go with the product."
"One of the features that we could use in the future, or would be something additional that we as users and network administrators would want to see, is the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"Need more documentation."
"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."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"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."
"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."
"The product could always be more secure."
