Featured Reviews

Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
LUIZ FERNANDO MARIANO SILVA - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface
I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to scale as needed."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"The product’s interface is easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."
"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."
 

Cons

"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"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."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"We would like to have the ability to stop and restart the service remotely, which is something that we can do easily with Symantec but have a hard time with when using Check Point."
"They should improve their user interface."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"The implementation is not easy."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"The solution is too pricey."
"The price is good."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"The product is very expensive."
