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…

Pros

"What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a good solution against phishing, malware, etc. It can do a lot in terms of security. You can also manage all the endpoints or users from the Check Point Antivirus platform, which is another feature I found valuable in the solution."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint gives our organization and us a solution that we could manage while complying with internal and external policies and regulations."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing successful malware and ransomware incidents, giving us much fewer infections to deal with, and it has also freed up security team time by catching threats automatically, allowing us to focus more on proactive tasks than on cleanup tasks, which is the main improvement for our team."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"Its most valuable feature is the integration of analytics with the cloud."
"It's easy to scale as needed."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"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."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
 

Cons

"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"Need more documentation."
"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."
"The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent."
"Sometimes the antivirus updates fail. We don't understand why because sometimes it fails but the next time you try it goes well and the firewall always has access to the internet."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"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."
"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 solution is too pricey."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"I don't pay for a license."
"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."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
