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.

"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"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."
"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."

"I like the anti-malware features."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"It helps us detect and protect against network penetrations at the specific point of intrusion."
 

Cons

"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"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."
"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The solution is too pricey."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"One is the basic license, which only gives you threat prevention. In the second one, you will get port protection. In the complete license, you will get all the licenses, like anti-malware, sandboxing, port protection, and all the licenses. It is very easy to deploy the tool."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"The cost is approximately six thousand Qatari Riyal ($1650 USD) per user."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
