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.
This feature is valuable for our customer because it stops threats before they reach users by scanning incoming files at the network gateway.
The anti-ransomware and threat emulation features have significantly helped our organization as they prevent attackers from encrypting files during ransomware attacks, allowing the system to re-decrypt files and restore them to their original forms, effectively stopping ransomware attacks.
What stands out most is their human element: when faced with an unknown threat, real people, not just automated processes, are investigating it, and they're people we trust.
They provide detailed remediation steps, explaining why an issue is a problem and what steps to take.
Previously, I could not modify it unless I had special Microsoft licensing, so it was beneficial to control Windows Defender through a central console to add policies and things like that.

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.
Anto Baharian - PeerSpot reviewer
Never misses anything and has an attractive price point and a simple interface
One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365. For instance, when one of my clients' Microsoft 365 account was breached, Blackpoint identified suspicious activity and disabled the account. It was in Dallas, and we are in California. Blackpoint knew something was wrong there, and they went in and disabled the account. Developing more automated remediation features would elevate them to an MDR level, but I understand that it might affect pricing. They are trying to keep it at a good price point because once they go to MDR, it is probably going to double the price. For now, I find the current features satisfactory, as they continue to add improvements. They have added security awareness training and then log collectors. They are adding pillars as they move along, and I assume they are going to have an option for MDR.
