Featured Reviews

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

"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"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 the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"The vulnerability scanning reduces false positives by quite a bit."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
 

Cons

"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"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."
"Support needs improvement. Currently, support is primarily via email, which leads to longer response times."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"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."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"Pricing is on the expensive side and could be more affordable. The technical support for Trend Micro Deep Security also needs improvement."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is 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."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"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."
