I've used the solution for more than three years.

The solution is very stable.

The scalability is very good.

The technical support is excellent.

Positive

We used to use Kaspersky, and we switched for security reasons.

The initial setup was straightforward; it was easy.

We handled the setup in-house.

Its price is competitive.

We also evaluated Trend Micro.

I use it for end point protection, and I am also using full disk encryption Harmony both solutions are adopted. 

One of the advantages is the reporting functionality. For example, if some critical data is available on a laptop and the laptop gets stolen - I can remotely wipe it immediately. Because, at the end of the day, apart from the device, the data is important.

So, the zero-phishing feature of Harmony Endpoint, the one I have used, was very good.

Those features are very good. Then, zero-day protection is also very important to us.

We can map the MITRE attack framework along with the Cyber Kill Chain completely.

Sandboxing is a great functionality.

The only drawback is the integration process. For example, I want to integrate with my source platform. It took some time. That's the only concern regarding the integrations.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint doesn't have any XDR kind of solution. DLP functionality and all are not yet there.

And then, the performance also sometimes gets deep. CPU utilization could be further optimized. 

I have been using it for one year. 

I faced some issues with stability. Stability was good compared to other endpoint protection. The only thing is that in the Zero Phishing future, which I like a lot, we can see when people are entering password content and other things. Phishing is important.

Since it's a SaaS platform, we can upgrade only a license. We can get it.

I have experience with SentinelOne. SentinelOne has a feature; for example, if a ransomware attack happened and a particular file was affected, we can retrieve it. If some known files got corrupted, we can roll back the file to the last known good configuration. We can do that. 

But this particular feature is not there in Check Point Endpoint. And then, importantly, USB blocking on Linux machines is not currently available in Check Point Endpoint. It supports only the scanning part, but I don't think it is supporting USB blocking and device blocking.

DLP functionality and all, they are not yet there.

The installation is very easy. It takes around 20 minutes only. 

It requires maintenance. There are a couple of people who handle more than 4,000 endpoints. So if there are more, then I can publish them. That is a one-time activity. After that, only one person can monitor. The SOC analyst is only one guy. The person who manages the endpoint completely, email as well as the endpoint, both.

We have seen ROI. Time was saved. Since it's manual, we need to pay a lot to our team. The time-saving was very good. We can establish connectivity on each agent within 20 minutes.

The pricing is okay. It is in the enterprise range. It is not middle range. It is not so costly, but it is an enterprise.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint in my company to secure the endpoint devices, including computers, servers, and every single endpoint in the environment.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers customers enterprise-level security for all their devices, including servers, laptops, and desktops. The IT personnel can ensure that with the product, all of the devices in an environment are protected with Check Point's enterprise-based solution. The customers who buy the product need not worry about their devices being exposed to threats. In fact, if you check the reports for Check Point in Gartner Magic Quadrant, you will see that the reports are all related to Check Point's endpoint security solutions. Customers try to get information on the value they can derive, along with the other potential prospects in the market, before trying to get or onboard Check Point Harmony Endpoint in their environment.

For IT personnel, Check Point Harmony Endpoint is easy to manage since they don't need to have any expert in order to deploy or monitor devices with the help of the product, and it also allows you to try out different actions on different devices. Whenever there is an attack on any device, Check Point Harmony Endpoint has the capability to isolate the affected device from the environment. Suppose there is an attack on one computer. In that case, the security of the other computers operating in the same environment is compromised, so Check Point Harmony Endpoint isolated the affected computer and notified the required department in the company to look into it while allowing for the other computers to work properly. The product offers good value to the companies that deploy it in their environment.

I would have to describe what I feel is valuable in Check Point as a whole. Check Point provides users with a central point from where they can manage all the devices across a workplace. Whether users use Check Point Harmony, Check Point Quantum, or Check Point CloudGuard, they don't have to log into different portals or solutions since they can manage everything from one central point. I like the fact that products from Check Point are very easy to deploy. Even if a user has 1,000 endpoints in an environment, Check Point can take care of the deployment in minutes. Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a very easy solution to deploy and requires very little maintenance or technical expertise.

I would like to see improvements in Check Point Harmony Endpoint in general because some people use it since it is available at a competitive price. Due to the competitive pricing strategy of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, it is not considered to be a good product, like Fortinet, Palo Alto, or F5. Check Point Harmony Endpoint needs to consider that people should feel that Check Point doesn't compromise on quality even though the price at which Harmony Endpoint is offered is good. People who claim that Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a cheap product don't necessarily mean that it is not a good solution. Fortinet is a very expensive product that offers good value to its customers. If Check Point can work on the value proposition it offers to customers and make them understand that even though the solution is affordable, it is not a bad solution compared to its competitors, then it would be fantastic. The potential customers can opt for Check Point products, considering that they are offered good products at the cheapest price in its categories. It is important for Check Point to ensure that people don't have a wrong perception about the products it has launched in the market.

I don't think there are any features I would like to include, and the tool offers updates when compared with the products from competitors, which I think is a good way to do it. The only challenge is that for many organizations where there is an MDM solution in the environment and an endpoint security tool, my company needs to educate such organizations to convey the message that endpoint and MDM solutions are different products for different purposes, so they are not the same. If Check Point Harmony Endpoint can incorporate MDM into the solution, it can be a fantastic enhancement. Customers need not buy endpoint and MDM solutions if both are made available together in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. My company will have to put extra effort into educating the customers and making them understand the two different solutions. MDM is used to manage your mobile devices, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the security for your endpoints.

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

It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution.

It is a very scalable solution.

My company had to contact Check Point's technical team for the installations that my company carried out when we had to deal with around 40 devices that had firewalls from Check Point, which had reached the end of life. For Check Point Harmony Endpoint, my company never had any reason to contact Check Point's technical team.

Starting with the pros, I would say that Check Point Harmony Endpoint provides value for money. After purchasing Check Point Harmony Endpoint, you need to consider the fact that the cost you pay for the solution and the value you derive from the product is very proportional. When it comes to Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I can say that a user does not pay high prices for a poor solution. A user pays a decent fee for a very good product. I think the first pro is that the value you get from the solution is made available at a very competitive price. The product is seamless and easy to use. With the centralized portal, a user can manage all Check Point products, including Check Point Harmony, Check Point Quantum, or Check Point CloudGuard, from a single point, which is also a fantastic pro for Check Point. Regarding the cons of the solution, I would say that it stems from people's perception of the solution since they feel that an affordable product may not be good enough. There is a need to work around people's wrong perception of Check Point products. Still, I don't know if such a negative perception is something that is widespread across the globe or whether it is exclusive to Nigeria or the markets in Africa. Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward. The product's deployment was done in minutes, so it didn't take long, as there was no need to do any special configurations. There was no need for the people involved in the deployment to have any special skills. The deployment process was seamless and straightforward. The product's deployment was never an issue. The IT department need not worry too much about whether they need to learn new skills to manage the product as it is easy to use and deploy and a product that can be used seamlessly. The product's deployment takes around 30 to 40 minutes.

I work with the solution's SaaS version.

I don't think Check Point Harmony Endpoint is difficult to maintain. I think there is a possibility of scheduling your updates in Check Point Harmony Endpoint, even if you want it to happen outside your working hours, like somewhere between eight o'clock in the evening and midnight. I don't think maintenance is stressful because it can be scheduled outside of working hours.

I would recommend others to use the product since the deployment process is seamless, so you don't need any specialized skills to use the portal provided by Check Point to monitor your devices. There are no specialized skills required to support or maintain the solution. It is also very easy to implement the product. You can keep a tab using the centralized portal offered by the product. In general, the product makes the life of the IT department easier since you need not worry about a lot of the technical stuff related to the solution.

From my point of view, I need to put in extra effort to convince my company's customers to use the solution. In terms of the features and the product's ability to deliver the promised value to its customers, especially when compared to other solutions in the market, I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

We use the solution in hospitals. 

The tool's most valuable feature is its ability to support Windows 7 and other legacy products. We still have users for such systems in the Philippines. I also like its threat-handling and forensic capabilities. The tool is easy to navigate, read, and digest, and its detection capabilities are also good. The solution has good reports that are easy to read. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning. 

I have been working with the product for three months. 

I rate the solution's stability an eight-point five out of ten.

The tool has many modules and is scalable. I rate it an eight-point five out of ten. 

I rate the tool's deployment ease an eight out of ten. The process takes less than a day. In our case, however, it required at least three hours because we were doing a demo for Windows 7. We also needed to update the endpoint, which involved some installation requirements.

I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint. 

Our customers are mostly medium enterprises. You need to be patient with the scanning. The solution will help you with prevention and detection. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. 

My company tried Check Point Harmony Endpoint with multiple clients, but unfortunately, we could not get many clients to use the product. Currently, my company has limited clients, like ten to fifteen customers who use Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

The valuable features of Check Point Harmony Endpoint stem from the fact that it serves as a comprehensive endpoint protection product that provides users with a fast solution and complete endpoint protection while serving as a tool that offers the fastest recovery for endpoints. The tool efficiently detects, protects, and corrects vulnerabilities and patches.

Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites. My company hasn't found any bugs or didn't find the solution to be complex. Features like zero phishing, sandboxing, threat emulation and extractions, malware detection, and EDR solution capabilities need to be included in the product. My company expects more granular EDR functionalities in Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for six months. My company has a partnership with Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a solution used by the company's clients who operate small and medium-sized businesses.

I rate the technical support an eight and a half out of ten.

Positive

I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine out of ten.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed within two hours.

During the deployment process of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, my company needs to install the initial client and select an agent from the settings on Windows Server, after which we need to push the solution to the client. Installing the initial client isn't something that is very easy. With all the features like signature-based detection, threat emulations, and sandboxing, users may need to be involved in the creation of a signature group.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a well-known solution among cybersecurity companies. With Check Point Harmony Endpoint, if my company gets good profit margins along with good opportunities, then we can penetrate into the market to sell it. My company expects support from Check Point, though we don't deal in many of its solutions.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

The company has a large number of users in different countries and they are constantly moving from place to place since some are dedicated to sales and must be traveling or connecting to different urban and private networks where they are located. Therefore, it was necessary to have a tool that would monitor, protect, and safeguard the security of the electronic devices that our employees use for their work every day. With this solution, we manage to minimize the security impact of our company and avoid future penetrations.

This solution helped us keep all our devices safe from the protection of cyber threats. 

It is a very reliable antivirus. It offers a wide range of security services from cyber threats such as viruses, malware, and ransomware. 

In addition, its database is in real-time. It has helped our organization achieve real-time analysis efficiency, which helps to be able to have all the devices centralized and, in this way, to be able to maintain an inventory of each of the devices separately. It helps us to comply with the regulations for our organization.

This tool has a very secure and efficient centralized management. This helped us to be able to have multiple devices and systems in a centralized control panel and to be able to track them. This is very valuable for administration and supervision. 

Another characteristic is the number of detailed reports and analyses of all the incidents that occur in our network. 

The compliance with regulations capabilities with, for example, HIPAA and GDRP, has also helped us a lot since we constantly have internal and external audits, and it has helped us a lot to comply with the requirements we have.

Like any service, they have some deficiencies where they must improve or add some features.

They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems.

They must add more techniques for detecting threats and thus reducing false positives. 

They need to integrate with third-party devices such as SIEMs.

They could improve the interface so is more intuitive and easier to manage since it is very static.

This solution was implemented four years ago.

It is very stable and is an efficient security tool.

It has very good scalability and is very efficient.

They should improve the support; it is very slow and sometimes not very efficient.

Positive

We previously had an antivirus. However, it was not good at providing adequate performance and protection.

The supplier helped us a lot with the installation; the agents are easy to install.

The suppliers helped us install the console; the other agent installations were done internally.

It is a tool that is worth the investment in since it covers a lot of security.

The licensing all depends on the partner and where you buy it. The installation went very well for us, and the cost was optimal.

Many tools were evaluated such as Sophos, Avast, and Norton Antivirus, among others.

It is an excellent excellent tool. It is very good on the market and valuable.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint Detection and Response is a very useful tool in combating vulnerabilities and threat actors. We have rolled it out across the business to all systems in our estate. 

It is very easy to perform vulnerability scans, view present vulnerabilities, and understand the ratings applied by the software. This allows us to focus on which areas are most at risk across the company. 

It was easy to install the agents to our physical and cloud devices and enabled targeted response to zero days.

As an IT infrastructure and security team we are now able to prioritize and target specific, higher-risk vulnerabilities, making our environment more secure. 

The ratings allow us to get a feel for the urgency of a vulnerability and apply it to our use case. We are also able to mitigate lower-priority vulnerabilities with suggested fixes and can add exemptions for false positives or acceptable risks. 

We are able to report current cyber security posture to the board and we are able to assign remediation tasks to team members. 

Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business.  

We have found the combination of vulnerability scanning, rating, and remediation most valuable in the platform and the feature is vital to our everyday security hardening. 

We can effectively target vulnerabilities with suggested fixes and automate patches where relevant. 

There is a constant flow of newly added features and improved functionality is regularly made available by the Check Point team. 

Customer communication around zero days and other emerging threats is a great addition to the service.  

There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium. 

The support is limited at times and can be quite slow, you are often directed to articles in the support center to read solutions for yourself. As a result, a lot of time has been spent reading Check Point articles on the online platform to increase knowledge around the product and further cyber security awareness in the team. It would be good to have a more direct route to remote support and demonstration.  

We have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for around one year within our company. 

We have had very few, if any, stability issues with the solution.

We previously used Rapid7. It was costly and had limited agent scanning timescales.

The setup is nice and straightforward with a lot of hand-holding from the team.

We would try to add exceptions for false positives or mitigate threats earlier to clean up the experience.

Also, we are requesting the customer service and the business team of Check Point to have more and more features and improved packages to increase the customer experience.

I've used the solution for over two years.

The solution has high stability.

The solution has good scalability.

Technical support has been great so far.

Positive

We were using a lot of other security solutions earlier. Some of them were Trend Micros Security and McAfee as well as other enterprise security solutions from Splunk.

We realized that these solutions are not very suitable for us as we need dynamic security services since our product is highly customizable and these security solutions are not fitting into the mainstream business. Due to this, we switched ourselves to Check Point and to date, we have had an exceptional experience with this partner as they are quite customizable in nature.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

We implemented the solution through a vendor.

The ROI is great.

The solution is easy with streamlined costing. Licensing is easy and renewal is seamless.

Yes we evaluated a lot of options before switching to Check Point, including:

• McAfee 
• Splunk 
• Kaspersky
• Trend Micro 

This is good to go security software for any kind of business today.
