Cons
"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit.""There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer.""There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."

More Bitdefender Hypervisor Introspection Cons →

"They must focus on performance and efficiency since this tool sometimes consumes many machine resources and leads to machine performance problems.""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.""Overall I didn't personally face any issues while implementing Check Point Antivirus.""Check Point Antivirus could be improved by having the gateway automatically run a packet capture on the traffic so that it can be easily uploaded to TAC in the event that there is a false positive or if the traffic is required for further investigation.""We'd like to see better integration with other security tools.""Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner.""We need the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."
  • More Bitdefender Hypervisor Introspection Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
  • "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 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."
  • "Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
  • "We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
  • "Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."

    Overview

    Bitdefender Hypervisor Introspection (HVI) is the first security solution that is able to uncover memory violations that endpoint security tools sometimes miss by directly analyzing raw memory lines - thereby ensuring they are not being altered by malware.

    Check Point Antivirus is a robust software solution providing a dynamic next-generation group of applications that protect computers and devices by removing malicious software or code specifically created to corrupt computers or data.

    In today’s busy marketplace, malware is advancing so expeditiously that it is estimated a new malware instance is generated almost every second. It is widely understood that traditional antivirus solutions on their own are no longer sufficient as they once were to defend today’s organizations against risk and malicious threats. Therefore, to be competitive and value-added, most of today’s antivirus solution providers are developing new methodologies that integrate processes such as global scanning, alerting services, leading industry collaborations, human expert threat analysis, and secure cloud integrations.

    Check Point Antivirus Benefits

    Check Point Antivirus has many valuable benefits. Some of its most useful benefits include:

    • Prevention: Check Point Antivirus is able to protect an organization's gateway by prohibiting malicious attacks and thereby preventing any potential damage.
    • Real-time detection: The solution immediately scans and monitors files as they are accessed by your organization’s network.
    • Rootkit detection: Antivirus thoroughly scans and blocks all malicious code designed to gain administrative access to a machine or network.
    • Heuristic detection: This dynamic new protocol was intuitively designed to comprehensively scan for any suspicious anomalies that can be found in unknown, new viruses and modified versions of known viruses.
    • Signature-based detection: Although considered basic by many in today's endpoint security culture, signature-based detection is still a foundational part of antivirus protection. This necessary process recognizes malware by comparing code in a program to the code of known virus types that have already been encountered, analyzed, and recorded in your organization’s database.
    • Dynamic bot and malware protection: The solution has the ability to provide organizations with aggressive, robust protection. Check Point Antivirus uses both a pre- and post-infection protocol to ensure comprehensive multi-tiered risk prevention. All of this is easily managed in an extremely user-friendly interface.

    Reviews from Real Users

    “Check Point Antivirus is the best antivirus tool in the market currently. The malware and ransomware catchment rate of the software is just exceptional and worth recognizing and recommending to peers. We have been using the tool for quite some time now and must say that it's quite reliable and highly dependable. It ensures no malware or virus should make any kind of entry into the system and enables a virus-proof environment all over.” - Shyam N., Senior Consultant at EY India

    “Its most valuable feature is the integration of analytics with the cloud. We like that we can detect zero-day incidents, problems, or virus attacks inside or outside the organization. It's one of the most complex and integrated antivirus solutions. The value of analysis in real-time every time we are having an attack, vulnerability, or security breach is very helpful. Today, we want to have integrated solutions and quick solutions that will protect us mainly with new attacks and solutions that protect us from the hijacking of our data (ransomware).” - Hazel R., Administrative Assistant at Tecapro
