Centrally managed with good visualizations and very good security
Pros and Cons
  • "It offers a centralized administration which allows us to be much more productive."
  • "We need the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony."

What is our primary use case?

Over the years, with experience using Check Point applications, we have needed to protect ourselves against new attacks and attacks that could involve a significant loss of information. These requirements we took into consideration when preparing for the next need, and we were looking for a solution that we could integrate into our perimeter zone, enabling antivirus and protection functions for our teams and our users. As a result of all our complex needs, we implemented this under the solutions that we already use from Check Point.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution gives us protection and a visualization of security analysis in real-time. Many of its functions and characteristics are of significant value to our institution. It's a strategic ally at the level of perimeter security within our organization and thus protects each one of our assets. 

It offers a centralized administration that allows us to be much more productive and has, within reach, a greater general visualization of everything that happens in our environment.

What is most valuable?

One of the characteristics that has given us the most value when implementing the antivirus solution is being able to have a conglomerate of solutions and to be able to manage and give to the administrators something that can observe what is happening within the network. The dashboards allow us to export this information so it can be delivered to senior managers, who are often the ones in charge of making decisions at the infrastructure level in terms of security and management of our organization. 

What needs improvement?

One of the features that we could use in the future, or would be something additional that we as users and network administrators would want to see, is the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony. We'd like to be able to manage all this from the same centralized management area that we use today for the perimeter lantern. It would thus provide a 360° integration of the features that we check regularly.

Secures equipment, integrates with the cloud, and offers real-time filtering
Pros and Cons
  • "It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
  • "For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."

What is our primary use case?

We had the need for every employee to be protected inside and outside of the organization and mainly the sales areas, which often are exposed yet constantly have the greatest mobility within our organization. There were uncertainties and needs for security. We have been testing solutions that will allow us to complete this requirement. We opted for and used the Check Point Harmony Endpoint, which gave us easy administration and management of the equipment, ensuring safety in the best possible way. 

How has it helped my organization?

Check Point Harmony Endpoint gives our organization and us a solution that we could manage while complying with internal and external policies and regulations. It's been a great ally in the security and internal strategies of our organization. After testing and using it, we have realized that its capacity is not only to secure the devices. It also gives added value in its way of managing and allows us to have control over inventory and management of the equipment that we have.  

What is most valuable?

The best feature is that it can secure the equipment. It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks. It has detection management with all types of computing power used in the equipment and outside of it in the cloud to which it is connected. This comes to give us a complete solution.

What needs improvement?

For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint. It would already be cataloged in the app. It would help filter other types of characteristics that we have in our equipment, and allow us to see the ones that are also very vulnerable. We'd like to have everything integrated into a single solution that communicates with the cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a full year.

Minimally invasive, good for securing devices of remote users, and does not slow performance
Pros and Cons
  • "It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
  • "This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."

What is our primary use case?

We were having several difficulties when we were presented with the design that we had to implement for the teams and personnel that had to work outside of the organization due to the pandemic. 

As a result of all this and all these uncertainties, the need to secure the equipment was the reason we adopted the Harmony endpoint solution. It came to protect us inside and outside the institution. The equipment itself does not need to be connected and secured by the perimeter area of ​​our organization.

How has it helped my organization?

We have adopted this solution in a quick, simple way. It integrated well based on these three characteristics: 

1. It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured. 

2. The solution is really not burdened with the need for computing power for the local management of the device, which will prevent the teams from slowing down. 

3. It is integrated with a cloud administration which makes it easy, fast, and simple to manage each of your policies for the security of the equipment. 

What is most valuable?

Its most outstanding feature is the power to manage everything from a dashboard, a window that is in the cloud, which allows us to manage it from anywhere in the world through any browser, from anywhere. This is a feature that came to give administrators the possibility to work from home. Today many of us are remote workers who are not at the company, on-site. We are not in a single site, and yet we manage well and have the capacity and the assurance of managing everything easily, quickly, and simply.

What needs improvement?

This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market.  

I would very much like to have the opportunity to see applications access at the web level and have applications from different brands and devices give simplicity to the management that we are going to need in the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is really stable. I have had the opportunity to try it on Mac and to try it on Windows. Its functionality, filtering, and execution have been really stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a fairly scalable solution that is simple to use and quick to install on the devices of each user, that is, on their computers.

Easy to install and deploy with great threat mitigation
Pros and Cons
  • "Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
  • "The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."

What is our primary use case?

Endpoints have always been a network's weak point, as they are the main interface users use daily. A good endpoint security product must be able to be flexible in both deployments and across multiple OS versions. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint does that for us. With multiple blades that add security to these weak points, I can be assured that threats are being mitigated in real-time. Also, Harmony Endpoint works seamlessly with Check Point's new MDR product, so logging, detecting, and responding couldn't be easier. 

How has it helped my organization?

With the new Harmony interface, I don't have to worry about a local endpoint management server anymore, making my deployments and updating of endpoints so much easier across the board. 

I haven't had issues with anti-malware updates anymore, and I can manage my endpoints from one Infinity Cloud portal. 

Being short-staffed in my department, this solution has absorbed some of the daily tasks of monitoring endpoint products to ensure they are up and running. Also, reporting services/blades that aren't running lets me use my time more freely. 

What is most valuable?

Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy. It was a hassle before with a local management server, and now it's as easy as selecting the version you want from a drop-down menu. 

The options for removing/adding blades with the click of a button from the portal are great. The built-in VPN blade makes it so easy to deploy on my endpoints if I need employee remote access to my LAN. 

The installation is so easy with the simple MSI deployment packages, and I can watch the deployment process in real-time from the Cloud Portal. 

What needs improvement?

The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times. I would like to restrict it to only US traffic, however, due to the hosting in the cloud, it sometimes retrieves data from the EU and across seas. 

Also, if there was a way to simplify the SmartConsole login more, there could be an opportunity to take away some clicks to log in. Navigating back to the browser to log in through that portal site just makes for a more extended login transition. Just have the MFA capability right there on the local application and be done with it. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Check Point's endpoint solution for five years, however, just recently moved to the Harmony interface this summer. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability makes it easy to move up or down. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability makes it easy to move up or down. 

How are customer service and support?

Support could be improved. I'd give them a 7/10 before COVID, and maybe a 5/10 post-COVID. If you know who to ask for, it's more an 8/10. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use a different solution previously.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward. Check Point assists the whole way, so it was very easy. 

What about the implementation team?

I handled the deployment in-house, myself. 

What was our ROI?

I'm not sure if we have seen an ROI. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Our rep has been great to work with concerning quotes/licensing. The setup is relatively easy, being in the cloud. A new customer could be up and running on a new Harmony install within days. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

CrowdStrike was the main one we evaluated against this product. 

What other advice do I have?

It is a great product. Check Point could work on their Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to assist customers, however, they usually get the job done in the end.

Flexible, supports most of the operating systems, and provides good threat intelligence features
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has good threat intelligence features."
  • "The network monitoring features must be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product at the perimeter. Since we do not have a branch, only one area is protected by the solution. The networks we have are in a compact area.

What is most valuable?

I love the product’s flexibility. We can manage the blade without changing the protocols. It is easy to manage how the tool runs the network. The product is easy to deploy. It’s a good firewall. It supports most of our OS, such as Linux and Windows. We can use it even on mobile devices. The browser and data protection are good. The solution has good threat intelligence features.

What needs improvement?

The network monitoring features must be improved. If my ISP says that they gave me 300 Mbps, I would like to see where the network is used the most and where we are underutilizing it. I need features to monitor the bandwidth. I want features to monitor the upload and download speeds.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for the last three years.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good. I was working on some backups of a hospital management system to the cloud. Check Point provided us with very good support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very high. The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years.

What other advice do I have?

I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

Incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities, but the software could be more resource-efficient
Pros and Cons
  • "This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
  • "The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."

What is our primary use case?

We continue to offer our support solutions to other companies as requested. I focus on cyber security, specifically specializing in detecting malware in text and searching for remote access or reverse channels on computers.

What is most valuable?

This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities. However, there's still room for improvement and the addition of more features. Nevertheless, in the broader market landscape, it's considered one of the leading products. While there might be some competition from others like Cisco, it remains a strong choice. The feature lies in mapping and providing top-notch malware protection.

What needs improvement?

Perhaps the software could be made more resource-efficient. While many improvements come to mind, I don't have them readily available. Essentially, I aim to enhance the software's efficiency so that it places fewer demands on computer resources.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Check Point Harmony Endpoint for the past two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution and I would rate it seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It isn’t very scalable since I wasn't able to bypass the security a couple of times. I would rate it a six out of ten. 

How was the initial setup?

I would rate it a six out of ten because it could have been easier. It might be somewhat challenging due to the numerous policies in place. For instance, it's more straightforward for me when users can easily set up policies because they come built-in. However, with Check Point, you do have the option to create custom policies. I'm not entirely certain if it's a strict either/or situation, as there might be some flexibility. Nonetheless, having a predefined "zero one" option can make it easier for users, as they don't necessarily have to customize policies themselves.

The deployment takes long enough.

What other advice do I have?

Currently, this software stands out as one of the top choices in the field. It's undoubtedly a strong contender for enhancing computer security, and while there are various other products available, this one ranks among the best.

I recommend the solution, but I would rate it a six out of ten, mainly because the software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers. It tends to impact system efficiency, especially on computers with weaker hardware, causing frequent restarts and putting a significant load on the CPU and memory.
