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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

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."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"Compared to its competitors, Check Point Harmony Endpoint has advantages in areas like EDR and behavioral detection."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
"The remote support is good."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
 

Cons

"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"We would like to make the documentation for more modern solutions like the Harmony family easier to find."
"The web filter service could be improved."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"If you're using an endpoint that does not have sufficient resources, it would be very tough to use."
"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."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"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 three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
