On-premises

I mainly use Check Point Harmony Endpoint to protect our user devices, laptops, and desktops from malware, phishing, and ransomware. It serves as our front line defense for remote workers and every employee. For example, when the sales department needs to connect at different sites, I need to protect these devices, especially when they access sensitive data outside the corporate network.

Since deploying Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I have seen a clear reduction in security incidents, such as phishing and malware infections. The real-time prevention and behavioral analysis have helped us catch threats early, often before users even notice anything suspicious.

I have noticed both a reduction in the number of incidents and a decrease in response times since using Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

One thing I have found especially useful about Check Point Harmony Endpoint is its remote remediation capability. If a device is compromised or flagged for suspicious behavior, we can isolate it from the network instantly, even if the user is working from home. That kind of control used to be impossible without physical access.

The best feature Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers is the real-time threat prevention. What I appreciate most about the real-time threat prevention in Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the speed.

Our main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to protect the employees' devices, especially laptops or mobile endpoints, from malware, phishing, or ransomware, and we use it to block malicious downloads or suspicious websites, monitoring endpoint activity for signals of compromise or unusual behavior, and enforce the prevention policies.

In the past, I used Check Point Harmony Endpoint when one employee opened a malicious URL and experienced a problem with their computer, which required escalating the case with support.

I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint for monitoring suspicious activities in different devices.

The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include advanced threat prevention, as it combines endpoint protection platform, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and extended detection and response (XDR) in a single agent.

The endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) capability in Check Point Harmony Endpoint have made a meaningful difference for our team, as with EDR, we get detailed visibility into endpoint activity, such as process behavior, file access, and network connections, which has helped us quickly identify suspicious patterns, such as lateral movements or privilege escalation, and respond before damage occurs.

An incredibly helpful feature we use day-to-day is the automated remediation and rollback capability in Check Point Harmony Endpoint, as if a file is flagged as malicious or if ransomware activity is detected, the system can automatically isolate an endpoint and rollback changes to restore it to a safe state, and that's saved us from having to manually clean up or re-image devices after an incident.

With integrated EDR and XDR capabilities, Check Point Harmony Endpoint allows our security team to investigate and respond to threats much faster, as we've gone from hours of manual log review to minutes with automated alerts and contextual insights.

One way Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved is through extended audit log retention, as one commonly cited limitation is the short retention period for audit logs, currently capped at around 14 days in some configurations, and extending that window would help security teams conduct deeper forensic investigations and meet compliance requirements more easily.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint's documentation is not intuitive.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a great agent for security in different devices, and that's the advice I would give to others looking into using it.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has saved us over 70% time.

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that we wanted to have an EDR client that could run on our servers to act as an EDR.

I do not have anything else to add about my use case or why I needed it.

The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include fantastic forensic visibility along with a broad feature set that covers anti-malware, UBA, anti-phishing, and host-based firewalls, all centralized and easy to use through a cloud tenant.

The forensic visibility is valuable for my work because when an incident happens, it's very easy to see the forensic details and find out if it's a false positive or something that needs to be acted on.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has impacted my organization positively by improving our security posture, but in the end, it didn't make the cut in the POC, so we went with another vendor.

During the time we used Check Point Harmony Endpoint, it improved our security posture, as we definitely got the visibility that we wanted, and it integrated well into the SIEM, so we got all the logs that we wanted.

I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved as I dislike the management interface because it's not intuitive, it lacks real-time reporting without configuring smart events, and it made administration less efficient.

The management interface felt unintuitive primarily due to the layout and navigation; you had to click around many different windows to find what you were looking for, and to resolve an incident, you needed to enter many windows.

I do not have anything else to add about the needed improvements or anything else that could make it easier for admins.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint during a POC that lasted one month.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is stable, and it ended up being very stable with no downtime at all.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is very easy; it was deployed with GPOs and Ansible towards Linux servers, so it was very easy and scalable.

Our main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is for posture for the user endpoints. When I say posture for user endpoints, it includes both compliance and threat detection. Compliance ensures that before users connect to network resources, whether within the organization on the switches or outside via VPN, the endpoint client must verify whether the posture is acceptable, ensuring that antivirus is running in the background without threats, and making sure that the device is secure.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization primarily in the protection context.

It has helped significantly on the protection side, considering that we no longer face issues where data is lost because someone put it on a USB drive, whether they took the device home or elsewhere. We no longer encounter situations where information leaks from users inside, effectively closing off one of the threat edges.

The best features that Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers, unlike traditional endpoint solutions, focus specifically on detection and remediation even before the device has to go to the firewall. We manage it through the Infinity Portal, which helps us with the fatigue of logging into different windows.

The automated detection, which is EDR, detects any threats potentially moving from the user endpoint onto the network and possibly to the data center. Another critical feature is data protection to prevent someone from easily extracting information from the user laptop by plugging in a stray hard drive or USB.

The automated detection and EDR in Check Point Harmony Endpoint reduce administrative overhead. The agent comes with pre-installed settings to detect different threats on the endpoint. In most other solutions, you must start from scratch, which takes considerable time and troubleshooting. With Check Point Harmony Endpoint, you're basically fine-tuning because the templates are already running, and you just adjust them to fit your organizational preferences.

There are some pain points with automated rules in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. In the initial stages, you sometimes have to do fine-tuning because you get false positives, resulting in users being unable to connect. However, those issues are eventually fixed.

The pricing is a bit expensive, making it harder to maintain the licenses, and the initial setup takes a learning curve since it needs to fit into the Check Point environment and integrate with other systems.

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

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is stable.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is satisfactory.

I have interacted with Check Point Harmony Endpoint's customer support, and my experience was good.

I have seen a return on investment from using Check Point Harmony Endpoint in terms of fewer security incidents, and the previous issue of data leaking from user devices has completely disappeared.

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

I would encourage others looking into using Check Point Harmony Endpoint to invest in it. Protecting an organization solely with a firewall is challenging, especially in a hybrid work environment where working via VPN has become common. Therefore, investing in Check Point Harmony Endpoint ensures that the threat landscape on the user side is fully covered and protected. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a 10.

On-premises

Statistics wise, it is currently difficult for me to provide specific details, but each prevented malware infection saves costs in cleanup, downtime, productivity loss, and reduced data breaches and compliance violation penalties.

At this moment, I am not able to remember any specific use cases that provide reasons.

We are testing Check Point Harmony Endpoint on a few testing group systems. I cannot provide any specific use cases at this moment, but once the trial period is over, we will definitely use it with our users, which is almost 500 users, and then I will be able to mention exact use cases.

The best part of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that it is delivered as software agents deployed to endpoints and connected to centralized security analytics and management control for desktops, laptops, and server systems.

Security has improved after we started using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and we can manage all the systems and machines through a centralized portal called Check Point Infinity portal. Through these portals, we can push the agents to the end machines as well as servers, and we can also manage and control these systems.

We can find all kinds of reports related to endpoints, such as information about different operating systems on the internal network, issued systems, malware-infected systems, and problematic systems through Anti-Malware in a centralized single plane.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved performance-wise.

Sometimes the Check Point Harmony Endpoint performance slows down when we use scanning and update sessions. During these activities, the performance impact on endpoints decreases. This aspect can be improved.

We have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for a few months as our Endpoint Security solution. We are currently using it as a test on a group of testing machines, approximately 10 to 15 machines.

Customer support was good. We haven't reached out to the customer support portal specifically for issues, but we are also using Check Point firewall for our gateway security.

Positive

We had other solutions in mind before using Check Point Harmony Endpoint. We were considering Sophos Endpoint Security.

Statistics wise, it is currently difficult for me to provide exact figures, but each prevented malware infection saves costs in cleanup, downtime, productivity loss, and reduced data breaches and compliance violation penalties. The return on investment and the benefit over a period of time is high.

It saves costs in terms of cleanup, downtime, and productivity issues. It reduces the possibilities of data breaches and helps us reduce compliance violation penalties. These are the main return on investment points that can be mentioned.

My advice would be to take the time to carefully plan and test your policy configuration on a small test group first, before full deployment, as I have done in my network. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a 10 out of 10.
