Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"Before we used this solution, our mail was blacklisted. Now we are white listed by all organizations, including Google. Also the security of our institution has really improved."
"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
 

Cons

"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."
"One area that requires improvement is the amount of audit logs the system can save, as it is currently limited to fourteen days."
"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"Sometimes the Check Point Harmony Endpoint performance slows down when we use scanning and update sessions."
"I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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 solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
