Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective.

The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved.

In a future release, the solution could add more threat intelligence features.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for approximately three years.

The solution is approximately 80 percent stable. It can have some bugs at times and can show very unexpected behaviors.

The support could improve, there are long wait times, and the agents are not properly trained. The troubleshooting is complex.

There are a lot of complications in the implementation. There are a few bugs and there is not enough documentation.

My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product.

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a six out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is antimalware and antivirus software, and it also has features such as in firewall autoresponse and autonotification, autoprotection, definition updates, and policies that we can apply.

We have medium-sized companies who use this solution.

My customers choose Check Point Harmony Endpoint because deployment is easier and because it's cost effective and more secure.

It is also a stable and scalable solution.

Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time. The technical team or any product team should liaise with us and help to deploy the solution to the first few customers so that we can roll out to the rest of the customers.

They need to improve the licensing process as well so that it is easier for the end user. At present, we have to wait one to two weeks to get a license, which is not productive. The process is not very smooth or convenient for the end user because Check Point Harmony Endpoint provides two login portals. One is for licensing, and the other is for management.

In the future, I would like to the management portal and the licensing portal be integrated or changed to a single sign-on because that will be good for both the panel and the user. If they can make it very convenient for deployment and monitoring, it would be good.

If we could get technical support in Singapore, then it will be helpful for our customers.

I've been dealing with this solution for two months.

It's deployed both on cloud and on-premises.

The product is very stable.

This solution is scalable. If you have a server or any software deployment tools, you can just push from the server so that the users don't even need to install it on their machines.

Technical support needs to improve. Their response time needs to improve too. Also, the only way to contact technical support is through email or international phone calls (for us in Singapore).

The initial setup is much easier compared to that of other solutions because it involves emailing and letting the agent download and then deploy the solution. It's lightweight, not using a lot of system resources compared to the rest of the products. It is the next generation of endpoint agents.

The deployment itself can take a day.

Maintenance is not required because it depends on the policy that you apply on the Check Point portal itself.

Compared to the cost of other solutions, Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective. The cost is not very cheap, but it's fair.

The licensing process is not smooth and can take one to two weeks.

I would recommend this solution because the protection works well, and it is cost is effective.

They also have cloud-based management, so it is like a SaaS service, and we don't need to buy a server to host it and to implement any hardware just for running the management of Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at eight.

The organization I work for is a bank and we use the solution to protect against malware and viruses.

The most valuable features in this solution are the EDR tool and the integration.

The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes.

I have been using the solution for one year.

The solution has been working well and we plan to scale the solution to our 300 agents. We have clients that are small to large size businesses using the solution.

The technical support is good.

I would rate the technical support of Check Point Harmony Endpoint a nine out of ten.

The installation is easy.

We have four engineers handling the deployment and maintence of a large company we are involved with.

We have evaluated Palo Alto, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky in the past. 

I recommend this solution to others. It is easy to implement.

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a ten out of ten.

We primarily use this product for the SandBlast module. It is used for sandboxing, malware detection, antivirus, and forensics blade.

The most valuable feature is forensics.

We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved. I believe that it is in the roadmap.

Other vendors have some non-security-related features in their endpoint protection solutions that should be implemented in this one.

I have been using Check Point Endpoint Security for approximately one year.

The stability is okay but if you have limited resources then it gets slow.

I have not used this product in a large deployment. Certainly, it scales, but my deployment is for less than 500 endpoints. Our company is really small, with just 25 people. As a partner, we also deploy it for our customers.

The people that work for the vendor are sometimes a little hard to get a hold of, but once you do get in contact with them, they get the problem fixed.

It is rather easy to set up. As a cloud solution, you can have it up and running in a day or less. We have defined different policies, which makes it easy to get up and running. After you, you can customize the setup.

My advice to anyone who is considering Check Point Endpoint Security is that it is a great solution that is very easy to deploy, and it really gives you visibility of what's happening on your endpoint. It helps you do deal with security issues pretty fast.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

In our environment, we didn't have an "official" security system. After implementing the Check Point SandBlast Agent system, we have benefited from getting a strong security system that gives us stability and security on our internal network.

Security has been improved. We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons.

The most valuable features are the availability, the ease of checking current logs of blocks,  and the option to update the system easily. 

The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do. Ideally, it would be not only for this solution but for all of their systems.

I found that there is no Check Point online training center and I think that is something vital for most of us as customers.

I have been using the Check Point SandBlast Agent for a year and a half.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

We evaluated Symantec before selecting Check Point.

We use it to manage our entire network and protect network traffic in terms of files that go out and come in. This protects our network between any platform we access or interactions between our clients and us. Also, it helps to monitor and block malicious applications, then it prevents these sites from accessing our stuff.

We use it for the endpoints and all the additional points which access the network in the organization. It protects everything across the board, from the server to the many other devices, like your phones and laptops. 

In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations.

The sandboxing feature: I like the entire process. It's one thing for it to detect, but another thing to have a remediation plan. It actually extracts out what we need to make it a clean file. 

There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc.

I have been using it since sometime from the beginning of last year.

It works just fine. I haven't experienced any issues.

It scales well. It accommodates all the endpoints that we have in our organization. As we grow, we do plan to increase usage.

We use it in our entire organization. Every staff person and device has access to the solution. We have approximately 250 endpoints. 

We have 10 IT managers and systems engineers directly working on it. I also work with the solution as a business analyst/developer.

The technical support is good. It is a straightforward solution. We have not really needed to call for anything because they train you on how to use this solution. You already have the IPS working and know how that works. It's not something that is complex.

We were previously using Sophos. We switched to Check Point because the pricing was much cheaper (by 25 percent).

The initial setup was straightforward. You're required to have some administrative training on how to use the solution. The deployment took between three to six months.

We worked directly with the vendor. The vendor had a partner in my region. Therefore, we worked directly with the partner, who was also working with Check Point. So far, the experience has been great. They were efficient. We have been able to achieve the reason why we set up and procured this solution.

We have seen ROI. It reduces malicious attacks and restricts users from accessing sites via our network.

As we grow, we've been given room to add additional licenses in terms of all our endpoints. 

In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth. 

The solution is too pricey.

We only evaluated Check Point and Sophos. There are only two really good cybersecurity solutions locally. You are either doing Sophos or Check Point. It is one or the other.

It is a great fit for any organization. I would rate the solution a 10 out of 10.

We mostly use Check Point Endpoint Security on-premise. But there are instances in which we use it in the cloud as well. It's mostly integrated into Microsoft Windows and that makes it really simple. They have an integration solution for the whole spectrum of endpoint features. For example, their Keystone solution. They also have a lot of other features. You can easily keep track of user access, how their device has been protected, and what software they have. We can see what processes are running and what network connections they have. We used it to control which devices can connect. It's a balance of freedom for the users and confidentiality. 

Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum.

I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis. But, they are not the leaders in this market. I would like to see virtual tasking as a feature.

I have been working with all products of Check Point for about 15 years. They have a strong niche in the market. They have both on-premise and cloud computing. Check Point Endpoint Security is really simple to use.

Check Point Endpoint Security is very stable.

So it means that if you buy a firewall, and discover at the end of the day you need more traffic than what you expected. You can expand easily, and scale-out easily.

I would rate Check Point Endpoint Security at a seven out of a scale of ten.

The primary use case for this solution is security.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN.

I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner.

Two-factor authentication is missing from this solution.

The stability is very good.

This is a scalable solution.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
