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.

Searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware and monitors the network for security
Jamf Protect provides zero-touch integration, and we can add various IdPs for synchronization or authentication.The most effective feature of the solution for security needs is that users can create a zero-touch environment network access and VPN access. Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint."
"There is almost no impact on the security Gateway/Cluster performance after the activation of the blade, especially if you don't scan nested archives."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"The traditional anti-malware engine is valuable."
"Check Point Antivirus goes in-depth and looks for threats and malware - including phishing attempts."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
 

Cons

"We would like to see the URL filtering functionality improved in this solution, so that we can exclude domains, rather than just single site URL's."
"I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. They should also consider the price so that many people will go for the solution."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered, as we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"Beginners need initial training."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is comparable to SonicWall. The price could be a bit lower."
"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 Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"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."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
