Walter Fang - PeerSpot reviewer
A very stable tool that offers security and protection, along with automatic updates
The product's initial setup was very straightforward. When it comes to the time taken for the deployment part of 360 Safeguard, once in the back-end, the tool normally shows a message and shows the upgrade or whatever is running the back-end that I might not have noticed. The solution is deployed on the cloud. I could not even notice the deployment process because I think it just somehow showed up in my system one day, and it worked with my Windows system very smoothly and seamlessly. When I install Windows Office and choose Office 365, I see 360 Safeguard installed.

Improved network security through detailed device tracking and proactive threat management
The best features that Check Point Antivirus offers are numerous, especially its ability to segregate each device into partitions on the same page, showing all connected devices such as mobile phones, smartwatches, laptops, and cameras. It provides details like the brand name, model name, host name, IP address, and MAC address in differentiated categories, allowing for easy tracking of what devices are connected to the internet. This is a significant positive aspect of Check Point Antivirus that many other devices lack, and it aids in day-to-day work. With our limited internet IP scope of only 512 IPs, users often connect multiple devices like two phones, two tablets, and smartwatches to the internal network. At times like this, I, as an IT admin, can log in and block specific mobile devices and peripherals, excluding laptops, desktops, access points, and switches, to free up IPs. Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted my organization by having a pre-inbuilt antivirus, which is stored within the Check Point devices, scanning each endpoint device connected to the firewall. When a threat is detected on any devices connected to the internal network, Check Point Antivirus provides immediate pop-up alerts before a user even notices the issue, keeping users informed and advising them to refrain from connecting their devices to other networks within the organization.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The product's initial setup was very straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."
"I like that it's stable and easy to access."
"Its most valuable feature is the integration of analytics with the cloud."
"Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted our organization by protecting our systems and computers, saving time, costs, and preventing data loss."
"We find the zero-day protection to be an extremely valuable feature of this solution."
"Check Point detects files containing malware, which some users are trying to download or access. Additionally, it can consolidate multiple emails into one."
"Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Check Point Antivirus is capable of scanning files uploaded from the internet or running through the network via Check Point gateways/clusters."
"It is one of the fastest malware prevention software with advanced upgrades to have 360-degree threat detection and system remediation."
 

Cons

"It could be more secure and compatible with other software."
"The web center in 360 Safeguard could be better, so this is its area for improvement. 360 Safeguard could be more scalable, especially for big businesses."
"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."
"The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"We would like to see the URL filtering functionality improved in this solution, so that we can exclude domains, rather than just single site URL's."
"The automatic updates use my internet during downloads before I authorize them."
"The SLA is slow."
"What's missing in Check Point Antivirus is the EDL feature."
"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."
"They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I bought a license — it's quite cheap. It's definitely cheaper than an American product. It costs approximately $40 a year."
"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
