Featured Reviews

Robin Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Exceptional threat detection and effortless installation impress users
The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates. The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition. The solution is highly respected in the industry. The product is very scalable, and the installation is reported to be extremely easy, even for those without great technical capabilities.
Nasseer Qureshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive defensive features boost daily protection and efficiency
I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint. As a new user, I find it somewhat difficult to customize and apply policies due to the various options available. I would appreciate improvement in fine-tuning those policies and integrating with other tools, such as being able to send logs from Check Point to our SIM or syslog solution. The user interface is good, and I really appreciate it, but improvements are needed in policy customization and integration with third-party products. Additionally, I would prefer to see a mechanism to send agents directly from the console to an endpoint during installation.

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 GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"The best features in the product, as a reseller, are the integrated SOC; integration with a SOC is one of the advantages."
"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."
"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."
"The product is easy to use."
"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."
"It is very easy to manage the Antivirus blade, even for newcomers in our technical support team, which is a key area of interest for us."
"Check Point Antivirus is easy to configure."
"Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum."
"They have pretty much everything you can ask for as far as features are concerned. That is because they know their market. They are focused on what they do and they do only that."
"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. We had existing endpoints and it was an easy upgrade process. The interface board is also easy to use."
"New viruses emerge day after day, and this EDR system helps action be taken before viruses affect the internal system."
"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."
"Heuristic detection scans for suspicious characteristics that can be found in unknown, new viruses and modified versions of known viruses."
 

Cons

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."
"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."
"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"I'm not very happy with the support, even in terms of the website. They don't offer much."
"An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher."
"The solution could improve VPN functionality and the VPN user-interface."
"More posting of user feedback is requested across all websites and Google so that more traction can be attained. Seeing reviews helps create more confidence with clients and partners."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is nothing to improve in Check Point Antivirus, but the support side needs improvement because when any ticket is raised by the customer, it takes at least 2 to 3 days for them to respond, which is not a good solution."
"I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. They should also consider the price so that many people will go for the solution."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
"It's a very good price for MSP. It's cheaper than Symantec."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"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."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
