Good monitoring, increased efficiency, and helps lower expenses
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all."

What is our primary use case?

Check Point Antivirus is a one-stop solution for detecting endpoints and malware and diffusing them immediately upon detection. 

They are ranked the world's number four anti-malware tool with a high catchment rate of viruses and improved efficiency for a better outcome for small, marginal, and bigger organizations. 

Check Point Antivirus has received a lot of good peer feedback publicly, and this improves its transparency and credibility to a great extent. Its efficiency is worth welcoming, and due to its improved performance and no lags during functioning, it is highly recommended.

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Antivirus has improved the overall efficiency of our laptops and other e-devices end to end, as now we can handle fast attack resolution against ransomware and malware. 

It monitors our network and devices throughout and brings the best endpoint protection for our systems and servers. 

The organization has significantly reduced and cut down on expenses due to the wide benefits of the software and also its sustainable use and requirements. It has helped organizations to scale properly without any issues related to malware and ransomware attacks

What is most valuable?

The speedy catchment rate of endpoints and malware is exceptionally good and act as a precursor for organizations in order to deploy this antivirus and secure the system and servers in a proactive manner without any trouble. 

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.

The pricing is also quite affordable for marginal organizations as well, and their improved efficiency is great. Signing and renewing of MoUs were not difficult at all. They are a good stakeholder to work with.

What needs improvement?

I strongly feel that the extension of the trial version of the antivirus should be extended with more features included so that new users may test the software at its best. A thoroughly informed buyer can make a decision in a sound manner which creates a win-win situation for both Check Point and the client.

They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all.

Centrally managed with good visualizations and very good security
Pros and Cons
  • "It offers a centralized administration which allows us to be much more productive."
  • "We need the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony."

What is our primary use case?

Over the years, with experience using Check Point applications, we have needed to protect ourselves against new attacks and attacks that could involve a significant loss of information. These requirements we took into consideration when preparing for the next need, and we were looking for a solution that we could integrate into our perimeter zone, enabling antivirus and protection functions for our teams and our users. As a result of all our complex needs, we implemented this under the solutions that we already use from Check Point.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution gives us protection and a visualization of security analysis in real-time. Many of its functions and characteristics are of significant value to our institution. It's a strategic ally at the level of perimeter security within our organization and thus protects each one of our assets. 

It offers a centralized administration that allows us to be much more productive and has, within reach, a greater general visualization of everything that happens in our environment.

What is most valuable?

One of the characteristics that has given us the most value when implementing the antivirus solution is being able to have a conglomerate of solutions and to be able to manage and give to the administrators something that can observe what is happening within the network. The dashboards allow us to export this information so it can be delivered to senior managers, who are often the ones in charge of making decisions at the infrastructure level in terms of security and management of our organization. 

What needs improvement?

One of the features that we could use in the future, or would be something additional that we as users and network administrators would want to see, is the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony. We'd like to be able to manage all this from the same centralized management area that we use today for the perimeter lantern. It would thus provide a 360° integration of the features that we check regularly. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for three years.

The industry cloud and integration services with alert notifications are some really exciting features that helped in achieving flexible and strengthened security administration.

It addresses zero-day threats and next-gen viral threat attacks on the system and also has strengthened the security administration through a single management console.

What needs improvement?

The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent.

Competition is huge and is strongly advised to keep innovating the features and utilities so that it stands out in comparison to its competition in the market.

Filters websites well, has good phishing protection, and is reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
  • "Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint."
  • "Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats."

What is our primary use case?

I wanted to protect my system from threats as sensitive business information was being stored in it, understanding that keeping the hardware in a secure location won't be enough measure to protect all the data in it. I went over different options in the market as Kaspersky Lab, ESET, Symantec, and Check Point of course, and spoke to a representative and did my own investigations. I came to the realization that this was the best solution for the need and the budget I had available and it hasn't disappointed me since.

How has it helped my organization?

Given the fact that threats are evolving every day, it is really important to have a solution that's ahead of transforming viruses that can leak in multiple forms and channels. Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint. It also provides email protection and detects threats in the public networks you're trying to connect your device to.

What is most valuable?

Phishing is an issue that is affecting a lot of businesses given the huge email traffic in businesses. Sometimes the server security firewalls won't detect threats from coming into the endpoints, so email protection is definitely one of them that's helpful. 

Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats. Even when you are on secure sites, you will see that, with Check Point, some ads and advertising will be blocked as they could be potential viruses.

What needs improvement?

We've noticed that the management console has some limitations as it's managed through the browser. Despite being user-friendly it could definitely include a wider range of security measurements that can make it more customizable depending on the end-user interests. If the end-user happens to want a Linux OS it can't access the smart console as it's .exe and only supported through Windows. This means they'll have to use a virtual PC to access the .exe which just makes it a bit of a hassle for these end-users.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for over seven years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did use Kaspersky and switched as there were security concerns around the privacy of the data.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Check Point's price point was right in the middle. It's not the cheapest and not the most expensive and offers a good cost/benefit ratio.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Kaspersky, ESET, Symantec, BitDefender, and McAfee.

What other advice do I have?

Overall I am very satisfied.
