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.
Eckart  Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Has an additional secure filter for banking-related pages and protects from viruses, malware, and attacks
The tool’s initial setup was straightforward. I would rate it a ten out of ten. However, for the setup of the mobile version, I would only rate it an eight out of ten. You will receive an invitation link and you get access as portal admin when you click on it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I use the solution to protect our infrastructure. The tool has special frames for banking. There is an additional secure filter for banking-related pages. It protects me from viruses, malware, and attacks."
"WithSecure includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data."
"The product is stable."
"The only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."
"It offers good scalability."
 

Cons

"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"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."
"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."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"The website rules are too complicated."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response is scalable. My company has 800-1000 customers."
"Its automated functionality could be better."
"The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved."
"The tool’s mobile version needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"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 rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. Its pricing is competitive."
