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.
Cees Van Den Haak - PeerSpot reviewer
A product with an easy setup phase that helps manage attacks and vulnerabilities
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that you can manage and react to vulnerabilities and attacks on all the workstations or laptops. You can put certain workstations and isolation. With ESET PROTECT, you see only one machine that is protected, but with ESET Inspect, you see all the machines that are protected in an environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers top tier security, AI-powered threat prevention, and strong scalability, which stand out as the best features."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"The solution offers multiple features in one solution, along with data detection."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted our organization by protecting our systems and computers, saving time, costs, and preventing data loss."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's most valuable feature is EDR."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy navigation and thorough analysis of incidents."
"The rules are the best and most useful features."
"Rules are the most valuable feature of ESET Inspect. They are created through XML language, and they track and filter events from endpoints. If the event matches the rule, the rule is triggered. Exceptions are the second most valuable feature because it gives you the power to filter false positives in large numbers. The third most valuable feature is the Learning mode that facilitates making exceptions for known processes with a good reputation."
"I find the multilayered endpoint security the most valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable features are its performance and stability."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
 

Cons

"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"We'd like the solution to kindly start this service offering on SaaS and PaaS models also."
"The pricing is really extremely high in comparison to the rest of the market."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments."
"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"The product is complex to configure, and there are too many errors that are not errors, making it an area that can be considered for improvement."
"It is not a stable product. We were disappointed in the stability of this product in comparison to McAffee."
"The solution could improve the consumption of resources. The RAM and CPU usage increases during usage which can cause issues. We have three separate services and it would be beneficial if all were executed from one agent limiting the over usage of system resources."
"The platform's price could be better."
"Every vendor is working on making the job of SOC analysts easier, with fewer false positives and more precise detections. ESET uses LiveGrid technology that provides feedback on the reputation of files and operations. It's hard to eliminate all of the false positives, but hopefully, we'll see some improvement with the advances in AI."
"One area that needs improvement for the product is ransomware protection, which does not offer complete security."
"It may be difficult for a first-time customer to understand all of the functions that are available to him."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"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 licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The solution is too pricey."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The pricing and licensing are the big issue now, in my opinion. If the price was less than other companies, or a one-time charge for service was available, I think there would be more users of this solution."
"The platform is expensive; it could be cheaper."
"This is true in the case of licensing, we do not have the most expensive products, and we don't have the cheapest product, it's somewhere in the middle. Perhaps a little higher from the middle, but we are known for what we provide to our customers, and they are pleased."
"I feel it is a very expensive product."
"The platform's licensing is affordable and straightforward."
