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.

Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"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."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's best feature is SandBlast Zero-Day Protection because it uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to stop unknown threats before they execute, which is especially effective against ransomware and targeted attacks."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"This comprehensive approach can safeguard your organization from a wider range of threats, including ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, and zero-day exploits."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"Its most outstanding characteristic is its ability to achieve and define a line of security based on policies and identity."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization; we have significantly fewer false positives, it has reduced the number of confirmed infections we deal with, and it has given us better insight into endpoint activity so we now catch more threats at the point of entry."
"Security has improved after we started using Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and we can manage all the systems and machines through a centralized portal called Check Point Infinity portal."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The user interface is outdated."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The stability could be improved."
"Even if they are using minimal applications, the endpoint agent sometimes causes very high CPU utilization."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"There should be an indication when you assign an endpoint to be a local proxy for other endpoints. The current system doesn't clearly indicate whether the assignment was successful."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"Support needs improvement."
"The only thing that our customers want, is lower prices."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"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."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is too pricey."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
