Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency

I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.

A highly stable solution that protects computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers

ZoneAlarm doesn't require much maintenance. You only need to update the application when there are any latest updates. ZoneAlarm is deployed on-cloud in our organization. With an increase in the bring your own device concept, ZoneAlarm should be part of every device to help us make the operational work very easy. Overall, I rate ZoneAlarm a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 remote support is good."

"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."

"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."

"I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint because it is an easy solution to implement and a good solution overall."

"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."

"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."

"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."

"It is easy to use through interfaces and easy to configure each of the customizations we created based on the characteristics that we wanted."

"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."

"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."

"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."

"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."

"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."

"It is quick and easy to configure."

More ZoneAlarm pros

Cons

"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."

"The web filter service could be improved."

"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."

"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."

"It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same."

"They could improve memory consumption."

"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."

"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."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."

"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."

"ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."

"The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement."

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."

"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."

"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."

"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."

More ZoneAlarm cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The price is good."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is too pricey."

"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."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."

"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."

"This is a freeware product and I recommend using it."

"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for ZoneAlarm, which is cheap."

"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."

"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
