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.

A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"The SandBlast agent is the most valuable feature for Check Point Endpoint Security. We've found that the Check Point SandBlast agent is mature."
"Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted my organization by saving me at least 50% of my time compared to previous SMB solutions because it effectively segregates devices and provides a clear overview."
"This comprehensive approach can safeguard your organization from a wider range of threats, including ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, and zero-day exploits."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve VPN functionality and the VPN user-interface."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"The services of EDR consumption should be reduced and the support needs to be improved."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution is too pricey."
"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
