Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

My main use case for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to use it as an EDR in our endpoint solution, endpoints.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint helps us with advanced threat protection, malware, and everything that can raise security concerns with the endpoint.

I don't have anything else to add about my main use case or how it fits into my overall security strategy.

In my opinion, the best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers are advanced threat protection, ransomware protection, phishing and malware prevention, centralized management, and generative AI protection. All these features stand out for me.

The centralized management and AI protection of Check Point Harmony Endpoint help us to easily deploy all the endpoints, new endpoints, centrally monitor them, policy enforcement, and everything. It has increased our efficiency.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization by reducing incidents.

Since implementing Check Point Harmony Endpoint, my incidents have reduced by around 15 to 20%.

I hope the agent size of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be reduced for improvement.

The agent size has affected my experience by causing some performance issues with old machines where RAM was less than 8GB.

I don't want to add more about the needed improvements or anything else that could make my experience better.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for almost two years.

The scalability of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is rated as eight out of ten.

The customer support is rated as nine out of ten.

I would rate the customer support on a scale of 1 to 10 as nine.

I previously used Broadcom because it was an age-old solution and we don't use it anymore.

I have seen a return on investment with time saved because we don't get too many incidents now.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is satisfactory.

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

My advice to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to go for it.

I choose nine instead of another rating because if the agent size was less, I would have given 10.

My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review.

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

On-premises

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.

I previously used a different solution, which was CrowdStrike; we switched because it won the POC.

I have not seen a return on investment during my time with it, as it didn't make the cut in the POC.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Check Point Harmony Endpoint was that it ended up being expensive to license, but the licensing itself was very straightforward.

Before choosing Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I evaluated other options including CrowdStrike and Defender for Servers.

My advice to others looking into using Check Point Harmony Endpoint is to definitely pay for tuning by Check Point professional services to get assistance with setting up correctly from the first time. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint an 8.

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.

The customer support for Check Point Harmony Endpoint deserves a rating of 10.

Positive

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was good, primarily because of the support provided.

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.

Since we are resellers of checkpoint products, We deployed  checkpoint antivirus blade to our customers as a gatewaye-level malware prevention that will stop threats before they reach users by scanning files at the network level, and also most of our customers are on the banking industry. so these financial institutions need to block malware that could compromise transactions and customer information, thanks to checkpoint antivirus blade that is incorporated in checkpoint firewall blades, we just made it possible to our customers.

Checkpoint antivirus blade has improved our customers security postures by enhancing theirr malware detection, reduced risk of cyber attacks and also by stoping threats before they reach users by scanning files at the network gateway. Additionally checkpoint antivirus blade is keeping our customers from different known and unknown threats by its real-time security intelligence from checkpoint theartcloud.

it's gateway-level malware prevention. This feature is valuable for our customer because it stops threats before they reach users by scanning incoming files at the network gateway. And also it can work with alongside with Check Point Anti-Bot Software Blade for comprehensive security. Above aove all and the intersting one is like it can be manged centrally from single, user-friendly console. Addisionally it has low false positive rate, and effective threat mitigation. As a whole our customers are happy about this solution with these mention features.

By default the antivirus blade monitors SMTP and HTTP traffic, but inspecting HTTPS traffic requires enabling HTTPS inspection and threat emulation, which can be resource intensive. Because decrpting traffics can be resouce intensive, which results performance impact on legitmate traffics also. And also our customers have a some complain about it pricing because compared to other vendors antivirus solutions checkpoint is considered costly. Other than these the solution is a must to have in your envirinemnt.

We declare this endpoint security in their device so that all the components should meet the end user device and we can protect our different vessel from the threats and control the user access.

What stands out to me most about the best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers are the data cost management features and strong policy that empowers user devices with central management and visibility.

The data processing features of Check Point Harmony Endpoint are more detailed in independent user devices, and it controls sensitive data transfer whether it is transferring data from the USB or whether an image is uploaded to the Internet. In that we get the infeasibility and the control.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization, and after deployment resolution, we are compared to some of the cybersecurity guidelines and it has improved our work on security for the devices.

As of now, I do not see any challenge with the problem regarding how Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved.

I would say that the course is something that can be reduced compared to other options to make my experience with Check Point Harmony Endpoint even better.

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

I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint a nine out of ten. I choose nine out of ten because apart from the licensing cost, everything is great. My overall review rating for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is nine.

I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint because it is an easy solution to implement and a good solution overall. It effectively does its work for me.

Harmony Endpoint has a geo policy that allows me to see where users log in from, enabling me to analyze if someone tries to access an account from another location. It offers a good false positive rate and provides protection across all platforms of 365.

One area that requires improvement is the amount of audit logs the system can save, as it is currently limited to fourteen days.

With Harmony Endpoint, I have three years of experience. With Harmony Email and Collaboration, I have five years of experience.

Deployment was easy and took less than a day, as it is a SaaS solution that partners with Check Point.

The stability of the tool is high, as I have not experienced any downtime.

It possesses high scalability because it is a SaaS solution from the cloud, allowing expansion as needed.

Although I have not contacted technical support recently, in the beginning, there were some issues that had to be addressed. Despite this, their support was helpful enough for me to give them a seven out of ten.

Neutral

Previously, my company used a Titan solution for email and collaboration. We switched to Check Point due to better pricing and additional protection on platforms like OneDrive, Teams, and all 365 platforms.

The initial setup was straightforward and completed within a day, which I would rate as an eight out of ten.

As a SaaS solution, it was implemented with Check Point's partner.

There has been a good return on investment. The product is affordable and provides excellent coverage and protection across multiple platforms.

The price for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is good considering the services it offers. It is not expensive and provides comprehensive coverage.

I recommend Check Point Harmony Endpoint to others if they need it. It depends on the infrastructure, yet it still provides good protection. Overall, I would rate the solution a five out of ten.

The main use of this product is endpoint security, it is very useful when you are trying to centralize endpoint security management and you want an easy and fast setup, I have used this product in POCs and different size deployments with different kinds of clients. Harmony offers several layers of protection and it fits well with all the Check Point "ecosystem", (It is especially useful when you are correlating security data because it can "talk" with Check Point's XDR Solution in order to get more insights).

There are several benefits that you can get with this solution:

1) You get centralized management of endpoints in your organization and you can be very granular in order to create endpoint security policies for different user groups. This improves overall security and visibility for IT departments.

2) Visibility also offers improvement with purchases and making decisions.

3) Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints).

4) It can be used with an XDR system (which is very useful with SOCs).

The most valuable aspects include:

1) Cloud Centralized management. This is particularly useful since you don't have to use any on-premise server, the cloud dashboard is activated without a minimum license number.

2) Several layers of security. It is well aligned with actual threats like ransomware and zero-day attacks and offers traditional layers of security.

3) Visibility. You have a single dashboard for all endpoint information that you need from an IT administrative perspective and in a threat incident you are properly advised.

There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including:

1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents.

2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions.

3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.

I've used this product since its release.

The solution is very stable in the correct context; with its cloud nature, it is unlikely to have any downtime.

The solution is very scalable since the console is a cloud; you only have to buy more licenses in order to grow.

TAC is very useful and its dashboard is very intuitive. You can get web, mail, and telephone support.

Positive

We used several solutions, such as Symantec, ESET, and Kaspersky.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very fast due to its cloud nature.

We implemented the solution with the help of a vendor team; they have good documentation and are experts.

The ROI is very hard to measure. It is best to take a proactive posture of protecting your assets. 

It is a very good security product yet it is not the cheapest one. Licensing is very easy to understand and it includes Check Point TAC support.

We evaluated various solutions, including Symantec, ESET, Trellix, and Kaspersky.

It is a very mature solution and one of the most secure that exists in the security market share.
