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

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has significantly strengthened the defense against malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats, and the unified agent ensures consistent protection across all endpoints."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"New viruses emerge day after day, and this EDR system helps action be taken before viruses affect the internal system."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization, and the ROI has been great."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
 

Cons

"While the platform is powerful, the user interface of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be more intuitive for non-technical users."
"To improve Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I believe the DLP feature needs enhancement because many SMB customers seek a single solution that includes both EDR and DLP to meet regulations."
"The documentation of Check Point Harmony Endpoint needs improvement because it is very hard to find on the internet and it is not intuitive."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"The antivirus could be improved in terms of the resources it consumes, particularly regarding CPU and memory usage. We've encountered issues with some of our firewalls, leading us to turn off the antivirus feature due to its heavy resource consumption."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is initially somewhat complex, and this could be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"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."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"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 product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The product could always be more secure."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The price is good."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"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 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 solution gives the value for the money."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
