We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Check Point Harmony is the winner in this comparison. It is a powerful and flexible solution that is easy to deploy. Kaspersky does come out on top in the pricing category, however.
"The integration with other Cisco products seemed to be really effective. We had Umbrella in place and we were using AnyConnect as well as Firepower. Once a threat was detected, being able to do the threat lookups and the live tracking was really useful."
"The most valuable feature is its threat protection and data privacy, including its cyber attack and data protection, as we need to cover and protect data on user devices."
"It is extensive in terms of providing visibility and insights into threats. It allows for research into a threat, and you can chart your progress on how you're resolving it."
"The VPN is most valuable. It's the best thing in the market today. We can use two-factor authentication with another platform, and we can authenticate with two-factor."
"Definitely, the best feature for Cisco Secure Endpoint is the integration with Talos. On the backend, Talos checks all the signatures, all the malware, and for any attacks going on around the world... Because Secure Endpoint has a connection to it, we get protected by it right then and there."
"The threat Grid with the ability to observe the sandboxing, analyze, and perform investigations of different malicious files has been great."
"I'm only using the AMP (advanced malware protection) which is protecting my file system from all the malicious things that might happen. It should protect all kinds of things that might happen on the servers, things that I cannot see."
"Device Trajectory is one of the most valuable features. We're able to dig in and really understand how things came to be and where to focus our efforts."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Detection of threats in real-time has helped protect my devices from possible attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
"The reporting feature is good. Also, the device control is good."
"It's easy to use."
"I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"An easier way to do deduplication of machines, or be alerted to the fact that there's more than one instance of a machine, would be useful... That way you could get a more accurate device count, so you're not having an inflated number."
"The GUI needs improvement, it's not good."
"This product has issues with the number of false positives that it reports."
"In Orbital, there are tons of prebuilt queries, but there is not a lot of information in lay terms. There isn't enough information to help us with what we're looking for and why we are looking for it with this query. There are probably a dozen queries in there that really focus on what I need to focus on, but they are not always easy to find the first time through."
"The thing I hate the most, which they have not fixed, is when it creates duplicate entries within a console. If you have a computer and you upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, or you upgrade your agent from version 6 to 7, it creates a new instance in there instead of updating the information. Instead of paying a license for one computer, I have to license two computers until I manually go in, search for all the duplicate entries, and clean them out myself."
"Logging could be better in terms of sending more logs to Cisco Firepower or Cisco ASA. That's an area where it could be made better."
"We don't have issues. We think that Cisco covers all of the security aspects on the market. They continue to innovate in the right way."
"They could improve the main dashboard to more clearly show me the things that I want to see. When I open the dashboard right now, I see a million things and they are not always the things that I need."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"The web filter service could be improved."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"They're restricted to endpoint protection for now, I'd like to see some additional products."
"The performance level could be better."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
