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 best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include outstanding visibility and user's control over the endpoint devices."
"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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is stable."
"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
 

Cons

"Check Point Antivirus' performance could be faster. It needs to include app-based support to upload screenshots of issues. It needs to add timely and regular updates. The dashboards and reporting features need to offer more efficiency."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"Creating tailored reports for different departments or compliance needs in Check Point Harmony Endpoint takes extra effort."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved because sometimes the agent feels heavy, causing slowness in our PC, so that can be improved."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"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 solution can improve the security modules."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"The product could always be more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"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."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"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."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I don't pay for a license."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
