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.
Rick Cassel - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"It helps us to detect running malicious activity in our network and after the COVID situation, most users are working from home where it becomes very difficult for IT admin to maintain security so such type of solution definitely helps us to prevent cyber attacks."
"The Management interface of the product is relatively user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"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."
"Low performance requirements."
"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."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
 

Cons

"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"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."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too pricey."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"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."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Work on a price tier plan."
