Check Point Harmony Browse Reviews

Check Point Harmony Browse serves as our primary browser. Since browsers are the first point of contact for any issues, we use Check Point Harmony Browse as a secure browsing option.

Check Point Harmony Browse offers security options, including secure searches, which I find valuable. The secure searches in Check Point Harmony Browse are not easy to use, but the browser is secure to use. Since Check Point Harmony Browse is currently our primary browser for the organization, I feel secure because we have changed all Chrome users to Check Point Harmony Browse, and fewer people are clicking on suspicious emails or links.

We have not yet noticed a drop in security incidents since switching everyone to Check Point Harmony Browse, but in the future, we can expect some measurable benefits.

The browsing speed of Check Point Harmony Browse can be improved. The user interface and compatibility are good, but improving the speed of search and browsing would be greatly beneficial.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Browse for a year.

Check Point Harmony Browse is stable.

Check Point Harmony Browse has good scalability as it is only deployed on one PC.

I have not yet used customer support.

We were using Google Chrome previously, but due to a lack of security and suspicious links, we switched to Check Point Harmony Browse.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Browse was acceptable.

I have not seen a return on investment yet and need more time to evaluate this.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Check Point Harmony Browse.

I think others looking into using Check Point Harmony Browse should at least do a POC to get a better understanding and better use cases. I am not sure if my company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. I believe this interview is good and do not suggest any changes for the future. My overall review rating for Check Point Harmony Browse is nine out of ten.

The purpose of Harmony Browse is to protect users from threats on the internet. It offers real-time threat extraction, URL filtering, threat emulation, zero phishing etc.                                                                                                

If a user downloads malicious content from the internet or surfs malicious URLs, that may cause the user as well as the organization a big loss as an attacker may try to gain access. To prevent this, Harmony Browse is very useful, and this is the prime use case in our environment.

Many users don't know what phishing is or what malware is, and they just surf the internet as per their requirements. To avoid this, Harmony Browse is very helpful. Phishing is prevented in Harmony. There's also URL filtering and safe searching. It's also very helpful in that it provides real-time logs for incidents.

All the features of Harmony Browse improve the security of an organization.

The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony is URL filtering. The Harmony web protection agent is also great. Any malicious activity mainly happens from the LAN or from the user's end. If we already block all the URLs, that can damage a loss, and the URL filter in this works accurately. With the help of that agent, it is very easy to deploy on endpoints. With the agent, we can trace all the endpoints very easily, whether the device is in the organization or else outside the organization. 

By default, on Harmony Browse there is no URL group which is commonly blocked worldwide. I hope to see improvements in this in the future.

I've been using Check Point Harmony Browse for the past few weeks and am digging into the features of it.

Stability is very good.

I've found it very good at scalability; however, there is some delay while accessing the portal. 

I have not used any TAC service for this product yet.

Positive

No, I have only used this solution.

It is an easy implementation as a Check Point implementation engineer. 

It's best to implement through a vendor, and the expertise is the best.

Licensing is pretty good. Price-wise, it is a little high. 

No, I have only evaluated this solution. 

When you purchase Check Point Harmony Browse, you can access this feature. For example, if an employee works from home using their laptop, and you can't install the endpoint protection agent on their device because it's owned by the employee rather than the company, you can still use the browser protection feature.

You don’t need to install anything directly on the laptop. Instead, you install a browser extension for Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This extension provides many of the benefits of endpoint protection—about 80% of the features. For instance, if the employee tries to access a malicious URL, the browser extension can block access to that site. If the employee attempts to download a file, the extension can scan it to determine if it's malicious and prevent the download if necessary. The browser extension can also block access to known malicious sites and provide other protective measures.

Support could be improved.

The solution is stable.

This solution offers scalability. Once you create and apply a policy, it automatically deploys the feature to new employees as they connect to the company network. 

Support is good.

Positive

You only need to create one policy in Microsoft Active Directory. This policy can be applied to all workstations and will manage access using your credentials across the network.

The implementation depends on the number of employees. For smaller organizations with 100 to 400 employees, it's straightforward and quick. The process becomes more complex for larger organizations with 3,000 to 6,000 employees.

ROI is very good because you have your environment protected. Employees don't care about the site they access. Because of this, you need to put a solution like this in their computer to protect the employee behaviors.

It is not expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Browse is primarily designed to protect users from web-based threats. It acts as a robust defense mechanism for web browsing activities. Primary use cases are threat prevention, data protection, zero-day protection and performance optimization. 

This solution has improved my organization by providing enhanced web security, increased productivity, reduced risk of data breaches, improved compliance and better threat visibility.

The valuable features are real-time threat protection, phishing protection, malware prevention, data loss prevention, and performance optimization.

Check Point Harmony Browse can be improved by reducing false positive reports, performance optimization and user interface improvement.

Additional features like privacy features, integration with password managers, and VPN Integration can be enhanced.

I've used the solution for two years.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

Our experience with technical support has been good.

Positive

No, I did not use a different solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented the solution via our in-house team.

The ROI is good.

Check Point needs to improve pricing and licensing.

No, I did not evaluate other options. 

The company has implemented several types of Check Point technology, which is why Check Point Harmony Browse was implemented. It allowed users to access the internet safely regardless of where our users were. This allowed us to prevent them from entering sites that contain zero-day phishing, from downloading malware, or from accessing websites that do not comply with the regulations and reusing passwords. 

With this solution, we avoid being able to contain and reduce security breaches that our users could cause.

Implementing this new solution in our company helped us a lot to be able to ensure that the internal or external connections of all users will have a very secure connection to the business network. 

We were also able to collect information on the URLs where they connect and thus minimize the gaps. Since many use the PC for personal use, care must be taken as this can cause vulnerabilities and cause problems with the integrity of the information. 

It also provides us with a series of reports that help us make decisions.

The tool has several efficient features in addition to its easy implementation with agents. 

One feature is the prevention of high threats. It prevents users from visiting unsafe sites and being able to download some type of malware or reuse passwords.

It also has navigation. It's a very efficient and fast website which helps avoid latency. It also has very good management since it has an integration with the different platforms on the market.

The product enforces the privacy of the users, which is good.

The tool so far has a series of very excellent features and has fulfilled its functionality very well. 

The only thing they should add or improve is the reporting series. It needs to provide more detailed information. Apart from that, it has many very efficient qualities to meet the needs. 

Compliance standards must improve in the support area. The SLA is not met. The resolutions are tough. There is no area where users can find centralized documentation. This is one of the priorities that must be taken into account in improving the product in the future.

I've used the solution for four years.  

The stability is good since its implementation has been very stable.

It has very efficient scalability and integration with third parties.

Dealing with technical support has been the only bad experience. The support is not very efficient.

Neutral

Other tools are used. However, a similar solution has not been implemented.

The implementation is simple; it was implemented with the IT department.

The implementation was carried out in conjunction with the vendor's engineering team.

The ROI is achieved with the security made possible for the company.

It is a very efficient tool; the price is moderately affordable.

We did not evaluate other options since we follow the same brand line across the company.

It is a very efficient tool for securing a company's infrastructure.

Check Point Harmony Browse was implemented in our company to address the evolving landscape of technology and cybersecurity. Our organization provides connectivity to all users through mobile phones, laptops, and tablets, as many of our collaborators work remotely. Since they need secure access to company applications from outside the office, we decided to implement Check Point. This solution is recognized as one of the leading brands in perimeter security, ensuring reliable and robust protection for our digital environment.

This solution further strengthened the security of the organization since we had been growing in technology and access points in different parts of the country. We needed to be able to control these accesses to avoid any attack. This solution gave us security and visibility of all devices. 

In addition to that, it protects each of the devices from sophisticated devices and guarantees zero-trust access to all our corporate applications. In this way, our company is safe and is evaluated day by day to check against new cyber attacks.

Check Point Harmony Browse has several features, such as secure browsing, which has helped us have a secure and completely threat-free connection. It has content filtering, which has helped us a lot in being able to apply the necessary filtering policies where we can allow or block websites.

Finally, it presents a centralized management that helps to manage and configure security policies efficiently. This simplifies the tasks and control of each of the applications or options found in the application.

Although it is a tool that has many very good features, it should make some improvements. For example, the graphical interface should be improved and made a little more intuitive. They could organize each of the configuration options, improve the latency that occurs when entering the interface, and provide better responsiveness overall.

They should also focus on new areas of the product and include innovative features. In the last year, they have not released any updates with improvements, additional options, or enhancements that meet the evolving needs of users and companies.

I have been using this solution for three years.

With the workloads it receives, its stability is good.

The product has very good scalability; it handles the workload very well, and it manages to maintain network traffic.

The support area must improve. It is always very slow, and it does not provide quick solutions. Its SLAs are not very good.

Positive

Previously, in my organization, there was no tool for this purpose.

For a person who does not have the experience, it is a little complex to set up. At the beginning of the process, we needed help with the implementation.

The configuration in the first instance was done with the seller, who was very good and fast during the implementation.

With respect to ROI, it is always good to make an investment in the area of security. This will keep all sensitive information protected.

The tool, being one of the pioneering brands in safety, is a bit expensive. They should make some improvements in the pricing.

Several tools were evaluated, such as Sophos XG Firewall, FortiGate Web Filtering, and Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect.

It is a very good tool that serves its purpose in security.

Check Point Harmony Browse is the one-stop shop for ensuring end-to-end security while browsing online from anywhere, anytime. It helps in providing strict security to browsing access and content for the workforce sitting remotely and on the premises.

Check Point Browse is doing a fantastic job and doing great justice to the IT world. 

More focus and emphasis is required on customization and real-time notification and alert system. The system is there, however, it needs more strengthening and robustness to cater to the business requirements in the quickest and most accurate manner.

Also, a strong push is required on research and technological intervention to understand the emerging market demand and customize our present and future upcoming solutions so that there is no hassle in deployment and integration of the software/platform across any channel and can be done smoothly.

I've used the solution for almost three to six months now.

The solution offers high intensity and stability.

This is a fantastic scalable solution.

The support is amazing and commendable.

Positive

We used Kaspersky Internet Security solutions earlier and switched to Check Point as it's now a well-known and recognized name in the market and offers great offerings end-to-end at a reasonable cost. There is no cost burden on small, medium, and marginalized organizations.

The solution is easy and straightforward.

We implemented the setup with the help of a vendor.

The ROI is amongst the best.

I recommend all to start using Check Point Harmony Browse as it's the best available security software in the market currently. It will never disappoint you on anything. They are the leading market player now and will capture half of the market quickly due to their agility and high business ethical attitude. Their solutions are cost-effective and save our pockets from high burnout. 

Licensing is easy and trouble-free. 

We evaluated software like Quick Heal, AVG Antivirus, and other solutions to meet our requirements.

Check Point Harmony Browse will secure your system 100% in no time, and there are 24/7/365 days of security on systems, servers, and devices in on-premise and remote mode. 

The monitoring process through the desktop would be an effortless activity, and all monitoring insights will be presented through a dashboard in real-time so that no lapse occurs at all.

I have installed Check Point to secure my personal computer.

Check Point Harmony Browse has a feature that allows users to check the extensions installed in their browser. This feature is valuable because hackers may install malicious extensions on a target computer without the user's knowledge. When browsing, users are often less aware of the extensions installed in their browsers, making it easier for malicious extensions to go unnoticed. By providing visibility into installed extensions, Check Point Harmony Browse enhances security by allowing users to identify and remove potentially harmful extensions.

The UI will be great. A good UI that displays threats and recent findings and allows for reporting events, even if the threat is blocked, will enhance understanding for network administrators. They can pinpoint the originating computer and track the event to its end. Additionally, if it's a Check Point link, it can be detected.

One of the challenges addressed by Check Point Harmony Browse is the threat posed by employees, partners, or other individuals who inadvertently click on or are targeted by malicious links or malware. Check Point Harmony Browse efficiently detects such links, blocks them, and alerts administrators or users who clicked on them, providing timely protection against potential threats

I have been using Check Point Harmony Browse for five years.

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is scalable. 15 users are using this solution.

The initial setup is easy and takes a few minutes to complete. It's just an extension. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The solution has a reasonable pricing.

Check Point Harmony Browse's threat prevention is quite effective. Many times, I test it myself by setting up a free website and sending it to my computer to see if it detects threats when I click on it. It consistently detects threats efficiently, meeting expectations.

Harmony Browse integrates seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure. It leverages Check Point's extensive experience and products in cybersecurity. Notably, it operates without requiring additional software on the user's device for malware and phishing detection, functioning like an antivirus solution. Our experience with Harmony Browse has met and even exceeded our expectations.

I recommend that even if the product is good, opting for the Business-only option is essential. The CEO wants to install it on the company's computers and deploy it. Engaging with employees who will experience the installation on their computers is crucial. They need to understand the importance of cybersecurity and avoid phishing attacks by not clicking on suspicious links. This is vital because attackers often target individuals rather than the computer itself.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
