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.
Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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 solution is easy to deploy."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving our security posture, especially for remote and hybrid users."
"Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"What I really appreciate about Check Point Harmony Endpoint is its integration with ThreatCloud AI, which is connected to more than 50 million endpoints globally and includes Harmony Browse, Next Generation Firewall, and CloudGuard."
"Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network."
"The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
"It has an inbuilt AI system that helps in diffusing the virus in a proactive manner and protects the system from getting damaged at the worst level."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
 

Cons

"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"It is hard to manage."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"Sometimes the antivirus updates fail. We don't understand why because sometimes it fails but the next time you try it goes well and the firewall always has access to the internet. We don't understand why it sometimes fails."
"The initial setup and configuration should be simplified."
"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."
"Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"The price is good."
