Excellent anti-ransomware protection, zero-day phishing protection, and web browsing filtering
We used to use other security solutions (Windows Defender and Kaspersky), however, we had security incidents that affected us (viruses and ransomware) and they were very difficult to identify or when we did identify them it was already a long time after the incident occurred and we did not know the cause and therefore affected the operability of our company considerably. Since we made the decision to move to Check Point Harmony we have had greater visibility of everything that happens on our devices and take a preventive approach rather than a reactive strategy, in addition to being more confident that we have Check Point protecting us.

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 of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"Before we used this solution, our mail was blacklisted. Now we are white listed by all organizations, including Google. Also the security of our institution has really improved."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"The product is easy to use."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
 

Cons

"Tech Support must be better."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The only thing that our customers want, is lower prices."
"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"The tool is affordable"
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"The price of this product is good."
"Pricing is fair."
