ZoneAlarm Reviews

Some departments require being part of the company to be able to establish security on their devices. For users who are not in the company, the Check Point ZoneAlarm was activated. It's a tool from Check Point that can provide security that is more limited, yet the Check Point seal provides guaranteed reliability.

This tool provides security in the mobile devices of vendor users who use their devices a lot as part of labor guarantees. 

We have succeeded with this tool, which is more limited yet no less secure. We were able to install it on mobile devices owned by the user as a security guarantee for them. 

It is a cheaper tool, however, it has helped us to protect the information against malware, ransomware, and viruses.

It is a super reliable tool that we have been able to validate through its monitoring and its way of providing security. It is supported by all Check Point technologies.

This tool is very good, safe, and cheap. Security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way.

Apart from being very easy and very fast, during the implementation, the client does not perceive the application on his device, which makes it transparent. The users are very happy since it does not affect its performance.

Despite being a more limited tool, it is protected with all the advanced Check Point anti-threat technologies, which makes it an incredible tool.

This tool also needs improvements that can be made over time.

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.

I would like to be able to find the costs of Check Point tools more easily, in a public way. like some other manufacturers. 

Since sometimes it is complicated. You have to have a partner for everything, even if they are some simple things that we could do ourselves.     

We've used this tool for testing for more than three months. It's ideal for departments with security needs without being able to spend so much on security.

We have used some other mobile apps. However, currently, we prefer Check Point tools.

It is important to find a partner that can help you with these solutions, see the requirements, and can recommend the best solution.

We always evaluate the tools available in the market. We look at implementations, costs, and scope, and then make the decision.

I recommend all Check Point security tools. Some are expensive. Others like Check Point ZoneAlarm are cheaper. Users can do tests to evaluate, in addition to verifying their costs and adjusting.

Pros of ZoneAlarm are- 1) Two way firewall 2) Antivirus/Antispyware 3) Advanced Download Protection 4) Parental Controls 5) Anti-Rootkit 6) Anti-Spam 7) Trojan, Malware, Keylogger Protection 8) Web and Application worm protection

Few cons of ZoneAlarm are- 1) Updating ZoneAlarm is a problem at times 2) Longer scanning completion times 3) Increased PC shutdown time 4) The interface is inconsistent at times 5) Uses significant amount of system resources while updating the antivirus

ZoneAlarm is one of the best rated security products from Checkpoint, which comprises of inbuilt antivirus, anti spyware, anti phishing, and advanced threat protection features. It is has few unique features such as virtual and private browsing, hard drive encryption and identity protection. It has very little impact on system resources such CPU and RAM and also has the capability of credit report monitoring.

At the store level, we needed to provide a robust security solution for small businesses, where users could be confident that their equipment is under the best security on the market. We needed a solution that was easy to implement and not invasive, in addition to being able to generate anti-malware and ransomware protection. For a long time, our country has been a target which is why it is important that the equipment has protection and security which is not provided by a simple antivirus.

Check Point Zone Alarm is a solution for small businesses or a limited number of users, providing all the trust and Check Point technology available to the user. This tool helped us provide anti-malware and ransomware security on our PC devices and mobile devices.

We were able to perform security analysis on the networks in addition to the client's operating system to avoid problems that will be generated from the network.

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

Check Point gave us a small sample of its security potential through this Zone Alarm solution. Its characteristics that make a good product are:

The easy deployment of the security application on the company's equipment, both PCs with a Microsoft operating system, and mobile phones for business and personal use.

Malware and ransomware protection is really good for building manufacturer trust in our company.

Finally, it is a solution that is not as expensive as others, which is why it was accessible for the company.

As it is not a native Check Point tool, it is not integrated into the Check Point Infinity Portal. We would like to be able to integrate it.

It is also important to improve the public documentation for Check Point. It is not possible that it will take so long to find the appropriate guides for hybrid environments and thus be able to implement the best practices for our infrastructure.

The support is not always so effective. We would like to have SLAs from the support side so that they can be met.

We used this tool for a department for at least half a year to provide small business protection as it was a short-staffed store.

Previously we used ESET. However, it was ineffective, so we migrated.

It is important to validate costs with your partner in addition to validating guides and good practices for a good implementation.

Options are always evaluated. We validated Cisco, Fortinet, Microsoft, and Check Point, however, we opted for Check Point.

Hybrid Cloud

My primary use case for this solution was managing endpoint security within our organization. I initially deployed it on-premises but later transitioned to the cloud to enhance scalability and accessibility.

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

The solution's efficiency in threat containment and overall protection needs improvement. It should be capable of blocking threats autonomously rather than merely issuing alerts.
Enhancements in the real-time update mechanism, better integration capabilities with other security solutions, and improved threat containment features would be beneficial.

I have been using ZoneAlarm for approximately two and a half years.

I rate the product stability an eight or nine out of ten. 

I rate the platform's scalability a six out of ten. 

The technical support services need improvement in terms of response time. 

Neutral

I previously used McAfee endpoint security. We switched to ZoneAlarm due to budget constraints and a management decision to try a newer generation of software.

The initial setup was complex, taking approximately one and a half months to complete.

I implemented the product with the help of my in-house team. 

I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten. 

Ensure that the solution can seamlessly integrate into your existing security infrastructure. I rate it a six out of ten. 

User friendly design and interface Easy to setup and create rules It is not just a firewall, it provides intrusion detection and web filtering as well It is NAT-friendly, that is it can work behind proxies

It creates a lot of popups, which can sometimes become frustrating Its simplicity makes it suitable for small scale end users, but it is not complex enough for implementing a large scale enterprise security solution The pro version, with many important features, is a bit expensive

I have used it in the past for personal desktops and for systems at small startups, but I would not recommend it as an enterprise level firewall security solution.
