Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.
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

"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"Before we used this solution, our mail was blacklisted. Now we are white listed by all organizations, including Google. Also the security of our institution has really improved."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"Check Point Harmony is definitely pricier compared to other endpoints."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."

"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"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."

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"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."
