Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

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 it for the complete protection of more than 5,000 devices of our company and our customers. 

We have Harmony Endpoint (Advanced) managed from the Check Point Cloud, mostly for Microsoft Windows 7, 8, and 10 devices, as well as Windows Servers (mostly 2012 and 2019). We also have a few protected Linux desktops and server devices. 

As for the protections enabled, we have mainly Threat Prevention (including Antimalware, Antibot, Anti-ransomware, EDR, and Threat Emulation/sandboxing); Firewall, application control, compliance, and port protection modules deployed.

We used to use other security solutions (Windows Defender and Kaspersky), however, we had security incidents that affected us (viruses and ransomware) and they were very difficult to identify or when we did identify them it was already a long time after the incident occurred and we did not know the cause and therefore affected the operability of our company considerably. 

Since we made the decision to move to Check Point Harmony we have had greater visibility of everything that happens on our devices and take a preventive approach rather than a reactive strategy, in addition to being more confident that we have Check Point protecting us.

The characteristics that we find most valuable are its anti-ransomware protection, zero-day phishing protection, web browsing filtering, and vulnerability and patch management. The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain. We have almost no false positives. 

A feature that we really like is the ease of management and administration that Check Point offers us, in addition to including the management server in its cloud and the predefined dashboards and reports.

We would love to have more endpoint hardware and software inventory, as well as tools to perform troubleshooting directly on the endpoint remotely. 

A further point of improvement would be to be able to optimize the consumption of resources on the device. 

We would also like the application control module to be further developed in future versions to include applications commonly used or maintained by Check Point in order to be able to configure blocking policies more quickly.

We have been using this product for more than three years.

We have not had any problems with stability so far. It has left us with a good impression.

The scalability of cloud management is excellent.

On the few times we have required support, it has taken us some time to resolve the issues completely, however, in the end, it was accomplished.

Positive

We changed solutions since what we had was not effective against the attacks we see today; besides, the visibility was very low and the management was very complicated.

The initial deployment was simple and the solution gave us several tools to do so.

We deployed via an in-house team.

In three years, the expected ROI was achieved.

The management of the solution is very simple and the deployment tools are diverse, which greatly reduces the workload. Licensing is also quite simple with three main options and some add-ons. 

It is licensed per device (whether it is a desktop, laptop, server, etc.), and the price is very attractive and competitive.

We evaluated other options including Cisco AMP and Fortinet EDR.

I'd recommend users to be careful with low-resource devices as the solution has several security modules that can affect the performance of these devices. In our case, we had some old machines where we grouped them and created a more optimized policy for these legacy devices.

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.

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.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is mainly used to protect laptops from malware, phishing, and ransomware. It serves as a frontline defense for remote workers and ensures secure access to corporate resources.

One of our users clicked a link in a phishing email to log in, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint instantly flagged the site as malicious and blocked access, alerting our support team. It was a very quick response that prevented credential theft and a potential breach.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is also used to control USB access and enforce encryption on devices, which is a common requirement.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization.

A significant positive impact on our organization is that I win more time for other support tasks because Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects more easily than support agents can.

We track some key metrics since we deployed Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and it reduced incidents and saved time for our security team.

The best feature Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers is ransomware rollback. If an attack slips through, Check Point Harmony Endpoint can roll back affected files to a safe state, minimizing damage.

The real-time threat detection in Check Point Harmony Endpoint helped us catch a ransomware attack early. A user downloaded a file from a spoofed site, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately flagged it, quarantined the file, and alerted our support team. The quick action prevented the malware from spreading and saved us from a large downtime.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a very centralized tool, and the reporting is really well done.

Creating tailored reports for different departments or compliance needs in Check Point Harmony Endpoint takes extra effort. More flexible templates or drag-and-drop options would be a great addition for better report checking.

Better integration with third-party tools would be beneficial. It works, but sometimes it takes extra effort to connect with the platforms used daily for Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Support is helpful, but responds only in English.

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

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is really stable.

Check Point Harmony Endpoint is very scalable and definitely meets our needs.

Customer support for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is great.

Neutral

I used Microsoft Endpoint Security in the past.

I switched from Microsoft Endpoint Security to Check Point Harmony Endpoint because I think that Check Point is better than Microsoft.

In my case with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, the time saved for our employees represents the return on investment.

Pricing and licensing for Check Point Harmony Endpoint were fair, but not exactly budget-friendly. The setup cost was manageable, though it depends on how many endpoints you are protecting. Licensing is flexible, but if you are a smaller team or not using all the features, it can feel as though you are paying for more than you need.

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

For others looking into using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I would advise starting by clearly defining your security needs and the type of devices you want to protect. Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers a lot of features, but it is most effective when tailored to your environment. I would rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint as an eight out of ten.

We are using Check Point Harmony Endpoint as an all-in-one solution. The agent acts for both ADR and XDR, allowing it to be installed on personal computers or desktops. This helps protect our company's data and network assets from being attacked by threats or ransomware.

After deploying Check Point Harmony Endpoint, there has been a significant change in our company's security posture. Check Point Harmony Endpoint has shielded us from potential threats, especially ransomware.

One of the best features of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is the portal, along with real-time threat detection and existing threat management. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects our company by warning us against clicking any malicious links and prevents our hosts from becoming vulnerable to cyberattacks. This has given us added security and peace of mind as we feel protected against ransomware threats.

Harmony can detect and display threats. It helps prevent us from clicking on threats. Any cyber attackers that attack our hosts won't get any vulnerable information. It's shielding us from ransomware. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint poses a steep learning curve and has high resource consumption, requiring high-performance PCs on our endpoint site.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for almost eight months.

We did not use another solution before Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Check Point Harmony Endpoint is our first time trying an endpoint solution.

At first, I found the initial setup challenging; however, after about a week, it became straightforward. It was the first time I deployed an endpoint solution, and over time, the setup process became easy and manageable.

The deployment process was smooth, even though there was a learning curve initially. It became manageable over time. It's easy to deploy on-premises and on the cloud. We're just using the cloud. 

The configuration process gets easier over time. The first time you configure it, it's hard. 

The licensing process for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is very easy.

We purchased Check Point directly from Check Point. We are partners. We didn't purchase it from the AWS marketplace. 

I would rate the overall solution a five out of ten.
