Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers top tier security, AI-powered threat prevention, and strong scalability, which stand out as the best features.

Abnet Tsegaye Belay - PeerSpot reviewer
Has reduced phishing threats and provided better visibility through detailed dashboards and logging
One thing I noticed with Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade is that without configuring the MTA or transfer agent, it cannot work fully. The MTA feature has significant resource needs, and without it, we cannot use the full-fledged features of Anti-Spam and Email Security Blades. Its dependency on MTA is substantial. I chose 8 out of 10 for Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade because of the MTA dependency feature. Disabling MTA is problematic as it is very important for deploying this solution. If you want full content scanning or threat extraction and emulation, you have to enable MTA to work effectively.
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.
