Check Point Antivirus Reviews

We use Check Point Antivirus to secure our enterprise network. It protects our data servers from malware attacks. 

The tool comes with an in-built AI feature, which makes file management easier. It also secures the network from viruses, malware, and phishing attacks. 

Check Point Antivirus' performance could be faster. It needs to include app-based support to upload screenshots of issues. It needs to add timely and regular updates. The dashboards and reporting features need to offer more efficiency. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

The product is stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. 

Check Point Antivirus is scalable. You can add the 'n' number of servers at any time. My company has 1000 users. 

The tool's tech support is good. 

Positive

The tool's deployment is easy and takes two to three hours to complete. A single person can do deployment. The tool has a SmartConsole feature, which helps to deploy it efficiently without much processing. It is easy to maintain, and one person can handle the maintenance. 

Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution. 

The product is an AI-based solution with the latest capabilities. It offers the most secure protection. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

The solution has a mobile monitoring system called WatchTower that you can link to a mobile. It would be great if they could add an antivirus feature so that we can monitor individual TCS activities too. Anyone willing to use this solution can certainly do so. The tool is very easy to use and the approach to security and updates is very good. Implementing policies and rules on-premises is also very user-friendly with the solution. Moreover, we can direct three to four billings together. If one ISP goes down, the second one automatically picks up. People wouldn’t even know that their internet has dropped. This kind of technology with low latency is very advantageous.

I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. 

They should also consider reducing the price so that more people will go for the solution.

I have been using the tool for almost two years.

The tool is stable.

The tool is scalable. There are roughly 60 users for the solution in our company.

I have not contacted the tech support team directly. I contacted them through the Check Point dealers in Sri Lanka. They have technicians who assist us. I contacted them several times to understand some settings during the installation of the tool in the system.

I have used Kaspersky and found Check Point to be better. There was an incident with Kaspersky when a person clicked on an email-generated ransomware and it got onto the system. Kaspersky couldn’t protect against the attacks and the ransomware spread. However, when the system was monitored by Check Point, the firewall protected it from downloading any malicious files. Hence, Check Point is doing a better job than Kaspersky. The only advantage that Kaspersky has over Check Point is the price since it is cheaper than Check Point. 

Kaspersky costs below 50,000-40,000 Sri Lankan Rupees.

The deployment of the solution is straightforward.

We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution does a pretty good job and is easy to use. I am the person maintaining the tool and only one person is required to maintain it. Their configuration portal is user-friendly and anyone can crack it with a little bit of knowledge.

This antivirus has powerful security features that online threats cannot compromise. It protects all the company's computational devices from ransomware attacks. 

It gives me confidence when browsing the internet with advanced data analytics. 

It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data. 

The solution detects unsafe files and downloads from the internet that are not safe. When doing my research, it gives a warning in advance before I run unsafe links and visit insecure sites.

I have used this antivirus on both desktop and mobile devices, and it has really helped me from engaging with unsafe content. 

It ensures that we publish excellent articles that meet international policies. 

It is simple to use this software, and we can set it up on any device. It has prevented the company systems from facing interruptions from external viruses that can harm confidential information.

The dashboard is modern and very robust when it comes to data visualization. 

It cleans files that are contaminated before sharing them with my colleagues.

Threat detection and response have been a great contribution to our daily programs. 

It provides daily reports on the status of the device and notifications when there are looming data threats. 

It has deployed firewalls that safeguard devices from any cyber attacks that can negatively affect workflows. When working with this antivirus, it does not affect operations in any way. 

Scanning files and data before sharing has reduced the chances of spreading viruses among the members. 

This tool has been stable and has highly improved the security status of the applications.

The automatic updates use my internet during downloads before I authorize them. 

This slows down processing power affecting the speed of operations. Integration with outdated systems is impossible. Reporting sometimes is delayed catching the user unaware of virus threats that may affect performance. 

Most features have been working effectively since I deployed this software. I have experienced very few cases of downtime. 

The customer support staff has been working 24/7/365 to ensure the system functions excellently.

I've been using the solution for eight months.

The performance of this tool is good, and I recommend it to other business enterprises.

Check Point Antivirus has provided comprehensive digital security.

I have been working closely with customer service and their work is great.

Positive

I used REVE Antivirus. However, It was very heavy, and it sometimes affected browsing.

The setup was not complex at all.

The implementation was done by the vendor team.

The recorded ROI has increased from 20% in the past six months to 50%.

The setup process is simple, and it is easy to learn how it works.

I evaluated Powertech's Antivirus. The cost and functionalities were not efficient, however.

This is a great antivirus that has given us a secure space for safe browsing and protection from online theft.

We use Check Point Antivirus for cyber security purposes.

What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a good solution against phishing, malware, etc. It can do a lot in terms of security.

You can also manage all the endpoints or users from the Check Point Antivirus platform, which is another feature I found valuable in the solution.

An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher.

I've been using Check Point Antivirus for six months.

Check Point Antivirus is a stable solution. It's a very good solution.

Check Point Antivirus is a scalable solution.

The technical support for Check Point Antivirus is helpful, but sometimes, it isn't easy to reach the support team.

On a scale of one to five, my rating for Check Point Antivirus support is four.

Setting up Check Point Antivirus wasn't difficult because it just required downloading the software, then installing it where you want to install it. There wasn't any issue with the initial setup of Check Point Antivirus.

How long the deployment of Check Point Antivirus takes would depend on the number of client endpoints, but the process could take just five or six minutes maximum. If your internet connection is slow, then deploying Check Point Antivirus would take longer.

I implemented Check Point Antivirus myself.

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'm using the latest version of Check Point Antivirus.

I deploy Check Point Antivirus for the customer. I'm a network and cyber security engineer, so I provide Check Point Antivirus to clients. I'm an integrator, and currently, my clients have a total of one hundred fifty endpoints on Check Point Antivirus. I also manage the solution for clients, which includes reporting, looking into the traffic and attacks, then I explain whatever's going on to the clients.

Maintenance can be done on Check Point Antivirus, and you just have to select the user that's very vulnerable to attacks, then that would trigger maintenance, and Check Point Antivirus would update automatically. It isn't difficult as long as your internet is good.

I would recommend Check Point Antivirus to others because it's very good software, and it works against every attack. Check Point Antivirus is an important solution.

On a scale of one to ten, my rating for the solution is eight because there's still room for improvement.

Due to many attacks in our country, we decided to look for a robust solution to avoid current threats, including ransomware among others.

Our company was looking to protect our infrastructure or perimeter, but due to constant attacks in our country with modern threats to computer systems, we decided to use a tool that can provide us with the correct security. In addition to validating that we could include it in our Check Point environment in a simple way.

The simple administration gave us the ability to provide greater security with the company's permission, avoiding threats such as malware, among others.

We currently have this resource and we can manage and verify it from our management server.

We have been able to internally provide security to our teams, with robust antivirus security policies to take actions and regulations to prevent the spread of viruses and malware that is modernizing more and more.

This antivirus blade is not like the previous security versions, it really is a powerful tool which provides this additional layer of protection against malicious files that could affect both data and systems, we feel safer and calmer with this solution despite all the attacks that have occurred in recent times in our country, but not in our company..

We really like this antivirus security tool, included in the security management server used for our Check Point gateways. The ability to include blades is very good, it allows the centralization of security in our gateways natively.

There is also a lot of documentation to be able to use this security feature in the best way using the best practices indicated by the manufacturer, with this we guarantee the use of the tool correctly.

Finally, in our company, we like the ease of implementation.

Check Point Antivirus could use improvement in some areas, as almost all blades within the security management server are not the same as in gateway management.

On the other hand, the solution is expensive, they could improve costs in order to win more customers.

There are new tools that generate this protection, so this tool can become old, I would like for it not to be discontinued.    

Once this tool has been implemented in Microsoft Azure, it can be used with a VSS or with a cluster to provide scalability.

We previously used ESET, but it did not meet expectations against ransomware at an enterprise group company we support. We prefer to opt for a tool with prestige.

Check Point's tools, specifically this one, are quite stable to manage from the security management server.

The costs are high, however, the tool fulfills its security objective very well,

I recommend looking for a good partner that will help you both with your needs and find the right tool to provide the company's internal security.

It is always a good practice to review the options in the security market to avoid threats and acquire the solution that best suits the company's conditions.

We primarily use the solution as antivirus, antimalware, et cetera. It's standard antivirus software. Every PC must have an antivirus on it in our organization.

It just has standard antivirus. It does what it needs to.

The solution offers good performance. 

Its stability has been good.

The initial setup is easy.

There is no real scalability.

We'd like to see a friendlier user interface.

I've been using the solution for one year.

The stability is decent and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

This solution does not scale. It's only installed on your PC and it has nothing to do with scale.

We have 2,000 users right now. We do plan to increase usage within a year.

We have never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

I've also used Microsoft Defender.

I'm not sure if the company used a different solution previously. I just joined this company one year and they had already started using Check Point.

The installation process is very simple and straightforward. The deployment is quick. It only takes a few minutes. 

We have individuals in our department that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. It only takes about 3% of our personnel.

I handled the initial setup myself. I did not need the assistance of any consultants or integrators. 

Users need to pay a yearly licensing fee.

We are using the latest version of the solution. 

I'm much more likely to suggest Microsoft Defender to other users. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

The implementation was really easy. We were able to activate the antivirus blade and install it on the computers we required. In this way, we were able to provide security for malware protection - all represented by Check Point Security Management.

It was required to expand or have the license to use the antivirus security utility. A point that cost us at the beginning was implementing the licenses in the management server however, once up and running, it was easy.

It is an old brand that has all the anti-malware protection, signatures, and revisions to avoid vulnerabilities.

Our organization teams used a Microsoft-based antivirus. However, we already had Check Point gateways in use. We wanted to unify the protection more, and we tried the use of Check Point Antivirus. We really have no complaints. It offers good anti-malware protection and ransomware, among other modern threat protection features. The installation of the equipment was easy, and we achieved the main objective of unifying the protected environment.

We currently use Check Point Management R81, which is one of the most complete versions.

The logs and monitoring are valuable features. It generates enough visibility in terms of what happens on our equipment.

The sandboxing validates some files that have threat qualities. 

We like this security tool.

Check Point is one of the best security brands according to the Gartner quadrant. However, it needs improvement in some areas.

We would like to see better guides in the future with more concrete examples of the best practices.

The support is somewhat complicated. Sometimes they take a long time to solve problems. The language barrier is an issue for Spanish-speaking people. 

Support hours are generally contrary to the hours in Latin America. They could expand the support more and have more trained and effective technical personnel to help customers.

For at least eight months, we have used this solution, which greatly facilitates our security. It is an antivirus implemented through Check Point Gateway R81.

Previously, we used a Microsoft Antivirus. It's not bad. However, we wanted a tool integrated with our Check Point technologies, and therefore, we validated the options to make the required changes.

It is important to assess and verify the costs of Check Point technologies with an expert vendor to help determine the technology and tool that can meet the specific business needs of each company.

The documentation is outdated. However, if it is validated well, it is possible to obtain what is required for the implementations.

At the level of antivirus, we looked at Sophos and McAfee. However, the implementation most adopted in our environment was Check Point. We are convinced that it was the best option.

The product is an easy-to-implement and centralized antivirus solution. I recommend it.

We required a product recognized for its brand visibility and achievements in cybersecurity at a global level.

Check Point was perfectly suited and we decided to use it effectively for our endpoint devices that are corporate property. In this way, we have avoided daily threats on devices with a great degree of acceptance seen by users.

Check Point Antivirus has helped us a lot with the personal protection of users' computers and protection against current threats and ransomware, among others. It is an excellent product that generates much business confidence when dealing with any cyber threat that can compromise computers.

It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users. In this way, it does not generate performance problems.

It is a good tool. The price is accessible. It protects against modern threats in a great way; there is a lot of confidence in Check Point.

There is quite a lot of product documentation to assist with a correct implementation.

The ease of installation is great.

The Check Point language for opening and solving cases is English. They could expand languages for Latin America, and it would be easier to solve problems in these areas.

Costs are only available through a Check Point partner.

The SLA is slow. The solutions provided to address problems and breakdowns are slow.

As a product from the Check Point security family, we have been using it for one year or more.

Previously, we used ESET, however, we were inclined to switch to Check Point.

Our company always evaluates the tools before buying them and before putting them into production.
