ZoneAlarm Reviews

We use ZoneAlarm for the end user's mobile devices. We try to implement the solution across the enterprise because several mobile users are looking to work from many devices.

ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers. So, the solution gives us better security intelligence.

It serves primarily as a comprehensive security solution encompassing firewall, antivirus, and anti-ransomware functionalities.

The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me. Whenever I download a file, whether it's from the internet, an email, or any external source, it immediately scans it. Currently, I use the automatic setup and self-learning features. I find it convenient that every couple of years when I completely reinstall my laptops and computer, reinstalling ZoneAlarm is a straightforward process. I don't need to reconfigure everything; I can use my previous settings.

Six months ago it was decided to include a new tool in the security part of it since some users bring their own device or sometimes work from their personal device. For this reason, we started using Zonealarm for two months, however, some functionalities did not work. We decided to acquire Extreme Security since it comes with all the features and it caught our attention since we could extend its use to more employees with different operating systems. During these six months, it has provided us with excellent security solutions and thus controlling the security of each device that enters the company.

One of the reasons that this tool was acquired was for a BYO monitor. It has been feasible for us. However, if we find a problem that is not available for macOS devices or we have not also found a way to link them, centralized management would be a good option to improve it. Another aspect to improve would be the part of the documentation to make it more reliable and have direct documentation since there is a lot of information. However, it is a bit confusing. Apart from the support, it also does not work much since many engineers do not have the experience or are using a guide to provide a solution which one already looked for, and they repeat the steps.

ZoneAlarm is important in cybersecurity because, while you can have multiple solutions to protect various aspects of your company—like firewalls for border protection, anti-malware, EDR, protection for your email server, and WAF for applications—the human factor is always the most fragile point. ZoneAlarm provides transparent protection that the user doesn't notice but is actively working.

ZoneAlarm, when combined with Check Point Harmony, provides comprehensive protection for end-users, making it a stronger solution compared to others in the market. It decreases the impact of human error and improves overall security by offering transparency in protection, making it easier to operate.

We are using ZoneAlarm Antivirus + Firewall for our employees who have BYOD devices. It is implemented at our one small branch office, where we do not want to purchase it because this is a temporary location.

This is a free version that lets us protect our users with CheckPoint security.

ZoneAlarm provides us with very good security and we are using both of the modules. This includes antivirus as well as firewall features, and it is very easy and stable for us.

We are doing regular scanning of our employees' BYOD devices and it's updated regularly.

Our organization does not want to purchase a new CheckPoint hardware firewall but we still want to protect our users or employees and their BYOD devices with it. This is why we started using the free CheckPoint ZoneAlarm solution.

In today's scenario, it is helpful to have this kind of solution, which is freely available in the market. It is only CheckPoint that offers this type of leverage to secure our organization freely.

We wanted a solution that would allow us to detect viruses, malware, spyware, or phishing to keep our data safe. We needed something that had the ability to detect, analyze, and validate each of these types of attacks while generating network access control to restrict access to certain parts of the network based on the type of attack. 

We also had internal policies and regulations that we had to comply with and we wanted to have traffic monitoring that could both detect any suspicious activity and give us general visibility of what was happening within our grid.

This solution has given us the ability to monitor traffic by detecting suspicious activities, allowing us to avoid possible damage from any of these incidents. 

Additionally, the centralized administration allows us to have a secure administration with location-based control which makes it easier for us to maintain and manage the resources available. 

In summary, the solution has created great advantages for our company. 

The organization needed to establish a high level of protection based on first-generation and last-generation technologies according to the demand of the different providers. 

We came to the conclusion that we need protection that complies with solutions and standards that allow us to establish security based on products that are easy, quick to install, and simple to configure, thus being one of the solutions that we have been looking for in the market. 

ZoneAlarm offers protection for mobile security devices.

Establishing 100% 360° protection against the largest vulnerabilities that companies have faced is possible with this solution. It provides us with the best and most complete analysis based on upcoming annual goals and activities. The solution has allowed us to establish products without complications when implementing, and it is a quick and easy tool to configure.

We use ZoneAlarm Antivirus with Firewall software for protecting the Bring-Your-Own-Devices that our employees take to the offices, and for a limited number of teams only since it is not an approved corporative standard software yet. In total, there are about 150 laptops of different kinds with several generations of the Windows operating systems running ZoneAlarm.

Currently, we use the Free version of Zone Alarm and not the Extreme Security edition. As for the free solution, ZoneAlarm provides good security capabilities. We use both Firewall and Antivirus, with regular scans and updates scheduled.

Our organization does not have a dedicated budget for the BYOD endpoint security software, so we have to stick with the free solutions available on the market.

ZoneAlarm Antivirus with Firewall software is a good match for protecting the Windows-only environments of our company's offices, and now we have been using it for about two years.

It has not only the firewall functions but a constantly updated Antivirus, and even an advanced Anti-Malware blade. Nobody else that we know of provides that for free.

Of course, it does not have centralized management, but that is not expected from the free software.
