Director de Ingenieria at Smartelecom SA de CV

Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security

There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI

I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."

"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."

Cons

"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."

"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."

"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."

"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."

"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."

"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."

"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."

"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."

"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."

"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."

"They could have more reports."

"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."

"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
