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.
Raxit Manandhar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has strengthened threat prevention with real-time updates and improved endpoint visibility
What I really appreciate about Check Point Harmony Endpoint is its integration with ThreatCloud AI, which is connected to more than 50 million endpoints globally and includes Harmony Browse, Next Generation Firewall, and CloudGuard. If a single incident occurs, it takes action and updates in the ThreatCloud, with every agent updated within five to ten seconds. Check Point Harmony Endpoint works great because we have not had any incidents up until now, which makes it a great product. Regarding reporting and incident reporting with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, it provides a collaborative report of all information and what has been blocked, which is very readable for any end-user in simpler language, making it accessible for both laymen and security analysts. Currently, we have seen a positive impact from Check Point Harmony Endpoint, but I have received complaints from most of my staff that it is resource-intensive. Otherwise, I would say this is one of the best products I can recommend when considering security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"The traditional anti-malware engine is valuable."
"It generates enough visibility in terms of what happens on our equipment."
"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."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
 

Cons

"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The stability could be improved."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The user interface is outdated."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"One thing I can suggest for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that the endpoint agent is very heavy, and sometimes it feels like due to the heavy endpoint size, our PC is slow, so that can be improved."
"Filtering the websites that can be visited is important also as there's always a chance to come by sites that, just by clicking, will download malicious threats."
"There needs to be more internally connected systems in order to achieve real-time effectiveness."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"Overall I didn't personally face any issues while implementing Check Point Antivirus."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"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's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"The price is good."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The solution is too pricey."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
