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 feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The solution is stable."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"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 is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"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."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"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."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"The forensics allows us to search retrospectively for an URL or file opened by users, for example, when you need to quickly check who else has clicked on a phishing link."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
 

Cons

"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"It is hard to manage."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"One challenge with Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that it has a higher cost."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"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 product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"The price is good."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
