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.
Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"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."
"The remote support is good."
"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
 

Cons

"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."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"Tech Support must be better."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"The tool needs to be made more user-friendly. The dashboard is there, but the solution's false positives are a bit higher."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"We'd like to have more application control."
"The price could be reduced."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"The pricing is fair."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
