Check Point Antivirus Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Antivirus is for my network security, and I utilize it for many things where it has saved me time. When a user connects to any unauthorized device, Check Point Antivirus provides pop-up alerts to me as the administrator on my phone or email, allowing me to log into the Check Point Antivirus GUI and block such devices that might affect my network. Compared to other devices, Check Point Antivirus is very useful for IT support personnel.

I must update you that I'm not just talking about the antivirus feature; I have used the Check Point 1800 SMB Quantum Spark and the Check Point 1600 Quantum Spark SMB devices, which are not shown in the PeerSpot contents. That's why I selected it as an Antivirus for my review. The antivirus is pre-inbuilt into both devices, making them very useful and helpful for IT support, as it significantly reduces malware production, stopping ransomware and data threats that enter the network.

If any threat comes in, Check Point Antivirus immediately recognizes it, blocking the specific IP and MAC address affecting the entire infrastructure, and provides messages and updates via email for the IT admin. The admin can quickly log into the GUI, block the devices, and determine the cause and origin of the threat.

The best features that Check Point Antivirus offers are numerous, especially its ability to segregate each device into partitions on the same page, showing all connected devices such as mobile phones, smartwatches, laptops, and cameras. It provides details like the brand name, model name, host name, IP address, and MAC address in differentiated categories, allowing for easy tracking of what devices are connected to the internet. This is a significant positive aspect of Check Point Antivirus that many other devices lack, and it aids in day-to-day work.

With our limited internet IP scope of only 512 IPs, users often connect multiple devices like two phones, two tablets, and smartwatches to the internal network. At times like this, I, as an IT admin, can log in and block specific mobile devices and peripherals, excluding laptops, desktops, access points, and switches, to free up IPs.

Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted my organization by having a pre-inbuilt antivirus, which is stored within the Check Point devices, scanning each endpoint device connected to the firewall. When a threat is detected on any devices connected to the internal network, Check Point Antivirus provides immediate pop-up alerts before a user even notices the issue, keeping users informed and advising them to refrain from connecting their devices to other networks within the organization.

I use Check Point Antivirus primarily to protect against threats, risks, and attacks. It helps guard against phishing attacks, website attacks, and potential data breaches.

Check Point Antivirus has been very helpful in maintaining system security, protecting against attacks, and ensuring data and information are safeguarded against vulnerabilities.

My main use case for Check Point Antivirus is that I have installed it into my office infrastructure using the Check Point 1800 Quantum Spark SMB device, which is an add-on to the 1800 Quantum Spark. This antivirus helps me defend against threat protections and malware or ransomware from unauthorized access or networks. It is helping me because without this antivirus feature, I cannot save my work and I am not able to protect my internet since people connect to public networks that can lead to immediate patches affecting the network.

Check Point captures all the threats and blocks them through our antivirus, which is the best feature of Check Point. The antivirus is performing effectively in the Check Point gateway now.

Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted my organization by saving me a lot of time and providing threat protection from mobile devices. In my organization, I have the capability to give Wi-Fi access to mobile users who connect their devices with a lot of data. When they connect to the network, my network might get affected, but Check Point searches all devices every second and gives me a pop-up if any device is affected. If there is still a threat on the network from those devices, it will indicate which device hostname, IP address, and MAC address has an issue; I will then immediately log in to the portal to block the device.

The real-time alerting and visibility from Check Point Antivirus have reduced my incident response time and helped me prevent actual breaches. For example, in 1.8 years, I have blocked nearly 100 plus threats that I have seen in my firewall.

The business challenges that led my company to purchase and implement Netskope CASB were to make sure that whatever data resides in the cloud is secured from the malware perspective, and it's also secured from the data leakage perspective. So that's why we went with Netskope.

The three components I mentioned help my company maintain security and compliance in the cloud, particularly the DLP part, because if we are PCI compliant or any other compliance, it's going to flag if the file that is being uploaded is violating the compliance, helping us maintain compliance.

In terms of improving the security posture of our cloud environment, Netskope CASB does a good job in identifying malware and the DLP part is excellent because it's able to look at the file and classify the data accurately, so it effectively identifies sensitive data.

As a manufacturing firm, we deal with many vendors and customers via online portals and websites. Our users surf the internet a lot. Check Point Antivirus scans and blocks malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, and ransomware. This helps prevent infections and limit the spread of malicious software within the network. It also performs real-time scanning of files and email attachments to detect and block malicious content before it reaches the end user.

Implementing Checkpoint Antivirus has significantly improved our manufacturing company’s security posture and operational efficiency. By providing robust protection against malware and other cyber threats, we have minimized the risk of production downtime caused by cyber-attacks. On the other hand, This comprehensive security solution has not only enhanced our overall cybersecurity but has also instilled greater confidence in our stakeholders, knowing that our manufacturing processes and data are well protected.

We use the antivirus for FTP email scanning, attachment scanning, FTP download, HTTP download, and HTTPS download with SSL and inspection. It is also used in conjunction with the firewall gateway and security gateway.

The most valuable features include scanning, sandbox features, and antivirus reporting. The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent.

The primary use case of this solution is to protect our company's LAN network from malware and viruses.

We have configured and deployed the Checkpoint NGFW and this is the security feature of Check Point.

With the help of Check Point Antivirus, we keep our company's LAN and DC network safe from malware and viruses. With this solution, our network has not been affected to date.

The company has a large number of users in different countries and they are constantly moving from place to place since some are dedicated to sales and must be traveling or connecting to different urban and private networks where they are located. Therefore, it was necessary to have a tool that would monitor, protect, and safeguard the security of the electronic devices that our employees use for their work every day. With this solution, we manage to minimize the security impact of our company and avoid future penetrations.

This solution helped us keep all our devices safe from the protection of cyber threats. 

It is a very reliable antivirus. It offers a wide range of security services from cyber threats such as viruses, malware, and ransomware. 

In addition, its database is in real-time. It has helped our organization achieve real-time analysis efficiency, which helps to be able to have all the devices centralized and, in this way, to be able to maintain an inventory of each of the devices separately. It helps us to comply with the regulations for our organization.
