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.
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

"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"Since implementing Check Point Harmony Endpoint, I have noticed a positive impact on our organization as we receive multiple detections of attack activities in the log section, showing how the solution protects our network."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers top tier security, AI-powered threat prevention, and strong scalability, which stand out as the best features."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
 

Cons

"It is hard to manage."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"The only drawback is the integration process."
"I would like to see more automation."
"My main concern remains the unexpected restarts of the device and the deleted logs, which the support team resolved by recommending firmware updates, but I believe this is not a sustainable solution."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's GUI is old. It needs to have a modern dashboard for logging activities. Compared to other products, the solution is slow in terms of deep scanning."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"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."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"The price is good."
"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 price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"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."
