Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects device endpoints, specifically laptops, when people need to work outside of the office.

The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include strong ransomware protection and the ability to isolate compromised devices instantly.

These features work well for us because they combine prevention, detection, and response in one platform. For example, ransomware protection isolates devices instantly, which is faster than other tools we have used that required manual intervention. The central management console also stands out since it lets us apply policies across all endpoints at once, while other solutions needed separate configuration.

One feature that has proven very valuable in Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the forensics analysis capability. After an incident, it provides detailed reports on how the attack was attempted and what actions were taken to block it.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint helped our team when an employee connected from an unsecured public Wi-Fi during travel. The solution automatically enforced the VPN access and endpoint protection, which prevented exposure to potential threats. It also detected and blocked a suspicious download before it could impact the device.

During a ransomware attack that targeted several laptops, Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately isolated the affected device and blocked the malicious process before it could spread. At the same time, the central console alerted us and allowed quick remediation without disturbing other users. This proactive response saved us from potential downtime and data loss and showed the value of having endpoint protection tightly integrated with our overall security framework.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is strong overall, but there are areas that could be improved. The interface can feel complex at times; a simplified navigation would make daily use easier. Reporting and analysis could also be more customizable with clearer dashboards to match different business needs.

Documentation and customer support could be enhanced because support is only available in English.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for around four years.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is very stable.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint's scalability is good.

Customer support is very fast.

I have seen a return on investment in terms of time saved.

Before we implemented Check Point Harmony Endpoint, isolating a compromised device could take one to two hours due to manual checks and coordination. Now, the system automatically detects and isolates endpoints within minutes. This has significantly reduced downtime and allows our team to focus on other remediations or tasks.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a faster application for security on your device, and it is excellent for protecting your organization. I would rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a nine out of ten.

On-premises

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint involves its endpoint protection as well as full disk encryption with the EDR solutions, Endpoint Detection and Response.

A specific example of how I use the endpoint protection or disk encryption in my daily work includes using disk encryption such as BitLocker, along with two encryption types: FileVault and Check Point encryption. The encryption keys are stored in the Check Point Harmony Endpoint console.

The main point I want to add about my primary use case is that the basic license includes an EDR license, Endpoint Detection and Response, which is a major highlight for Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

The best features that Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers for me and my team include Application Control, Device Control, SandBlasting, and the basic DLP.

Application Control and Device Control have helped my organization by allowing us to block applications, such as inbuilt agents installed on user devices, while using Check Point Harmony Endpoint Application Control features. With Device Control, we can impose restrictions on users, preventing them from copying organization data from pen drives or external drives such as Bluetooth. We can control accessories, keyboards, and mice, either blocking or allowing them as needed.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by improving our security, preventing issues such as phishing, ransomware, and malware. It also offers URL protection, filtering downloads from browsers to stop any malicious files before they are downloaded.

Regarding the features, I want to add that DLP, in my opinion, is not full-fledged; it only provides features at the web browser level.

To improve Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I believe the DLP feature needs enhancement because many SMB customers seek a single solution that includes both EDR and DLP to meet regulations. While EDR has no drawbacks, we often have to look for other DLP solutions due to the limited DLP features in Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

Beyond the DLP concerns, I feel that everything else works well. Features such as encryption, SandBlasting, patch management, and vulnerability management are available in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. The only notable drawback for me is the DLP feature, and if we receive more use cases from customers, we can provide updates on that.

I have been working in my current field for the past three years and four months.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is stable in my experience.

Regarding scalability, I would like to provide a specific rating, but I am unsure how to articulate that clearly.

Before using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, we had alternatives in place but I cannot specify which ones at this moment.

We evaluated other options, specifically Kaspersky, which offers a single solution encompassing email gateway and patch management alongside endpoint security. We assessed that offering in comparison.

In terms of return on investment, I cannot quantify savings because of the numerous variables involved.

My experience with pricing indicates that the costs have increased compared to last year. Previously, Check Point Harmony Endpoint offered competitive pricing for small user counts such as thirty-five, but they have raised the minimum entry level to one hundred users. While the prices are higher than those of other solutions, the features justify the investment for customers.

While we did not actively track metrics, I can share that when we downloaded a third-party KMS tool considered an activation tool, Check Point Harmony Endpoint detected it as malicious and blocked the EXE file during the download process.

My advice for those considering Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to pursue it for its better features, particularly the EDR licensing available even in the basic package, unlike some competitors that reserve it for advanced or complete solution packages. SandBlasting is a standout feature that I recommend highlighting to customers. I would rate this product nine out of ten.
