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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"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."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"Compared to its competitors, Check Point Harmony Endpoint has advantages in areas like EDR and behavioral detection."
"This comprehensive approach can safeguard your organization from a wider range of threats, including ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, and zero-day exploits."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
 

Cons

"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"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.
