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.

Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

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."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability."
"During a ransomware attack that targeted several laptops, Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately isolated the affected device and blocked the malicious process before it could spread."
"The centralized management and AI protection of Check Point Harmony Endpoint help us to easily deploy all the endpoints, new endpoints, centrally monitor them, policy enforcement, and everything."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include complete visibility and a single dashboard where I can see everything for all employees."
"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted our organization by protecting our systems and computers, saving time, costs, and preventing data loss."
 

Cons

"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"The user interface is outdated."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"We need the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"As of now, there are not any lack of features."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved if it were less resource-intensive because not all of our end-users have laptops with high resources available, such as 16 GB of RAM."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"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."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"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."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"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."
