Featured Reviews

Raxit Manandhar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has strengthened threat prevention with real-time updates and improved endpoint visibility
What I really appreciate about Check Point Harmony Endpoint is its integration with ThreatCloud AI, which is connected to more than 50 million endpoints globally and includes Harmony Browse, Next Generation Firewall, and CloudGuard. If a single incident occurs, it takes action and updates in the ThreatCloud, with every agent updated within five to ten seconds. Check Point Harmony Endpoint works great because we have not had any incidents up until now, which makes it a great product. Regarding reporting and incident reporting with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, it provides a collaborative report of all information and what has been blocked, which is very readable for any end-user in simpler language, making it accessible for both laymen and security analysts. Currently, we have seen a positive impact from Check Point Harmony Endpoint, but I have received complaints from most of my staff that it is resource-intensive. Otherwise, I would say this is one of the best products I can recommend when considering security.
Anoop K Jayan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has strengthened endpoint protection for on-premise networks and supported migration to Linux environments
What really stands out in Fortinet FortiEDR is that we are integrating it with some private clouds at the customer's premises with secure SD-WAN networks. I don't know how much it contributes to this SD-WAN network in the own premises cloud solution, but that is what we are doing. This is especially relevant for government projects where the SD-WAN solution is within their private network, not touching the Internet or any other access. Their first requirement is centralized management. Additionally, they need antivirus updates and other things to be done through a centralized platform within that private cloud. That is their requirement, and currently, we temporarily allow internet access, but it is not preferred. We are moving towards a complete air gap, providing full isolation from the internet for that. We have started to work with machine learning capabilities in Fortinet FortiEDR. We are not that well-versed yet, but we have begun using machine learning for intrusion detection and other purposes. Regarding forensic analysis in Fortinet FortiEDR, it is useful in understanding attack vectors because our projects are based on the voice side, such as cloud PBX solutions and call center management. There are media activities and many attacks coming from the outside, as well as vulnerabilities from endpoints. In those cases, we need detailed analysis through an AI platform to inspect how these attacks are coming. We also require a proactive protection mechanism, including an alarm system for threat detection before attacks occur.
