Featured Reviews

Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints
The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.
Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"Endpoint protection is valuable. Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"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."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
 

Cons

"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"The initial setup should be made easier."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"Support needs improvement. Currently, support is primarily via email, which leads to longer response times."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"The solution could improve VPN functionality and the VPN user-interface."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"The solution is too pricey."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
