Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
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.

Cross-platform capability enhances security integration
The single agent, combined with the EDR system, delivers additional information and data for the EDR. Regarding the use cases, or maybe it fits better into another question about the motivation of the customers, I can see two approaches. The first approach is where the customer has an existing EDR system running, and their contract comes to an end. They are looking to either prolong it, renew it, continue with the current system, or look for something cheaper or better. When they reevaluate the contract, it's a sales approach to suggest that for a similar amount of money, not very much more, they can get something much better. It's not only a plain EDR or plain antivirus system - it's antivirus plus EDR. The difference in price is not much. Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers. Having one system for all platforms is essential. This has helped in two ways. The majority of customers want one thing for all, however, some customers definitely want two systems, servers separated from workstations. I have a big data center for banks, and they separate Windows Servers from Linux Servers. It is important for them to have two different systems. By providing this multi-operating system capability, I have engaged with customers via the Linux servers because the Windows servers are handled differently, so they were looking for a second different system, which opened the door for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects our company by warning us against clicking any malicious links and prevents our hosts from becoming vulnerable to cyber attacks."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"The anti-ransomware blade is great; it stops device encryption automatically and has caught hundreds of cases on client laptops."
"It has blocked many malware attacks aiming to corrupt and damage company data."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"Whoever wants their data secure, and they want to have peace of mind, make sure to go with the anti-malware capabilities on the SandBlast Agent."
"The Antivirus engine's performance has been excellent."
"I would rate the overall product as an eight out of ten."
"The tool's detection range works fine. Its most valuable features are its ease of employment and lightweightness. It's not heavy on resources. We focus on malware and ransomware detection."
"Especially for the antivirus, the cross-platform capability is significant, as it's for Windows and Linux workstations and servers."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
 

Cons

"The automatic updates use my internet during downloads before I authorize them."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"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."
"We would also like the application control module to be further developed in future versions to include applications commonly used or maintained by Check Point in order to be able to configure blocking policies more quickly."
"The only drawback is the integration process."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint works well overall, but one area I would like to see improved is the reporting and dashboard experience."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus is not available in the local language, which can be inconvenient."
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
"I have been told several times that the stability of the sensor, not the back end, is an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"The solution is too pricey."
"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."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten. Its pricing is justified."
