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

"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"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."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"Endpoint protection is valuable. Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
 

Cons

"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"Support needs improvement. Currently, support is primarily via email, which leads to longer response times."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"The response from the tool's support team, which starts with L1, is something my company doesn't find helpful, especially when compared to the other solutions that we use."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"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."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
