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.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"It's easy to scale as needed."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"​Very straightforward and very easy to implement.​"
"It is a scalable solution. If required, we can scale it more. That's not an issue...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"It can scale well."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's scalable."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
 

Cons

"Support needs improvement."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"We would also like the application control module to be further developed in future versions to include applications commonly used or maintained by Check Point in order to be able to configure blocking policies more quickly."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"The solution could use more integration."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"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."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"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."
